Today’s Food Rock Star is Kalyn Denny. I’ve followed Kalyn’s blog for some time now. She was among the first bloggers I contacted way back in November 2008 to share a recipe for my holiday food gifts post. Since then I was lucky enough to meet her at BlogHer Food Conferences. She’s very giving and loves to share good food with folks. Her blog is not a gluten free blog but she does have a lot of gluten free recipes and many more that are easily adaptable. Kalyn was very kind to me when I started my blog and taught me a lot about blogging etiquette. I hope you enjoy getting to know Kalyn.
