Bread is Not Dead to Me: Your First Year Gluten-Free

Bread lovers, brace yourselves—this isn't just a story of bread gone bad, it's a journey of survival, sass, and discovering life after gluten.

In Bread is Not Dead to Me, Deana Bass Williams invites you to laugh, cry, and maybe bake your way through the reality of going gluten-free. Diagnosed, undiagnosed, and diagnosed again, Deana's Celiac journey is anything but linear. From tearful standoffs in grocery aisles to discovering that some gluten-free bread tastes suspiciously like cardboard, she's been through it all. Armed with humor and heart, Deana shares her own missteps, lessons, and recipes for navigating a world where bread—her food love language—has turned into a secret saboteur.

This isn't your average gluten-free guide. Inside, you'll find:

• Practical advice for building your gluten-free pantry and navigating social situations with grace (and a little snark)
• Relatable stories of denial, acceptance, and the occasional bread-induced heartbreak
• Humor and hope, because giving up gluten doesn't mean giving up joy—or flavor
• 10 Super Fast and Easy Gluten-Free Desserts because life is sweet!

Whether you're newly diagnosed or just curious about living gluten-free, this book is your guide to turning a tough transition into an adventure. With Deana as your guide, you'll learn how to thrive without gluten—and maybe even discover a few "blisscuits" along the way.

Because bread may be (sort of) dead to you, but life is far from over.
