The Joy of Inclusive Dining on National Gluten Free Day
Every year on January 13, we celebrate National Gluten-Free Day. This day is about more than just dietary restrictions; it is a celebration of the creativity and resilience found in the modern kitchen today. For many, a gluten-free lifestyle is a medical necessity due to celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. For others, it is a personal wellness choice. Regardless of the reason, the goal is always the same: to enjoy delicious, satisfying meals that bring people together without the worry of illness. In this guide, we will explore how to master the art of inclusive meal planning and create a safe, vibrant environment for everyone at your table.

This month, we’re ditching the standard stainless steel and highlighting six incredible slow cookers that bring serious personality to the kitchen. From Disney fun to game-day glory, we’ve matched six unique cookers with six themed recipes designed perfectly for them.
