I’ve been learning the ropes of the GF blogger community. I’ve been amazed at the generosity, personality and warmth of all the GF bloggers out there. One that I stumbled upon recently was Diet, Dessert, and Dogs. The author, Ricki, is a vegan gluten free dog lover. Hey, that sounds a lot like me! Ricki has been doing this blogging thing a lot longer than I have, though, and she’s got way more experience in the gluten free vegan cooking and baking arena. From just the little that I’ve read of her blog, I can tell she has a great spirit – zany and funny and upbeat.

Recently, she set out on a quest to get on the Ellen DeGeneres show. She’s having a blast doing everything she can to get Ellen’s attention. And, she invited all her blog readers and twitter followers to get in on the act. Well, sure, why not? Sounds like fun to me. There was also, of course, the incentive that if she gets on the show, everyone that helped will get the electronic version of her book, Sweet Freedom. She was also giving a way a few hard copies and ebooks just for participating. And, guess what? I won! I won a hard copy of Sweet Freedom. I can’t wait for it to arrive. You can be sure I’ll be sharing my thoughts on it as soon as I get it. And, if Ricki doesn’t mind, I’m sure I’ll share a favorite recipe or two as soon as I get a chance to bake from it. Yay!
