Tax day dreaming

Tax day dreaming

Congratulations to you dear reader! Today is April 15 and that means you have survived another tax day.

If this is triggering your memory and you haven’t filed, stop reading immediately and get to work.

Or perhaps, if you had to pay the government this year, this post might not be for you.

No, this post is for the dreamers, the newly rich with refund money in their bank account and are looking to splurge on a gluten free treat.

Why not indulgence in something totally opulent like caviar? Low in fat and calories and is usually gluten free. As always, check the ingredients before indulging and be weary of caviar without a label: some brands have been known to use gluten-filled soy sauce. But what is caviar without a gluten free blini recipe? Enjoy it here

You could spend the refund upgrading your kitchen. Perhaps it’s time to upgrade your pots and pans or buy yourself a strictly gluten-free toaster or blender, rather than sharing with other members of your household that consume gluten. Maybe it’s a top-notch label maker to make adorable and functional labels for your strictly gluten-free cooking tools. What about a vacuum sealer to make gluten-free meals and be able to freeze for later? Running around $200, this addition to your kitchen might be a nice splurge.

Maybe your return money leaves you feeling generous and think it’s time to celebrate others. Searching for “Gluten free gift baskets” yields nearly 2 million hits. Favorites like Harry & David, Williams Sonoma and Stonewall Kitchen offer gluten-free gift ideas. Simple ideas like magazine subscriptions to gluten-free publications or cookbooks are a thoughtful gifts for family and friends too.

Or maybe you had your most lucrative tax refund yet and are itching to travel after a very long winter. Why not visit Italy? You might be surprised to learn that Italy, the land of fresh pasta and bread is also the country where 1 in every 250 people suffer with celiac disease. How about spending that refund on 6 night, gluten free, “food lover’s” tour through Tuscany? Hosted by guide Jennifer Iannolo, who worked for 15 years in the world of fine food and wine, she created of Zenfully Delicious to “empower people with chronic pain and food sensitivities to live a delicious life.” Staying in a Tuscan villa, participants will take a cooking class, tour wineries and fresh markets, all while enjoying nothing but gluten free meals. Read more here.

Dream big with your refund and treat yourself to some gluten-free delights, you’ve earned it.

Also, the GFT blog team is on standby and can be packed in no time for Tuscany.
