For people with celiac disease or food sensitivities, eating gluten-free and allergen-free foods is a lifesaver.

If you have guests who eat special diets coming to your wedding reception, make arrangements with your South Sound caterer several weeks before your reception.

A new wholesale baker specializing in gluten-free and allergen-free foods is Granny LaLa's. Located in the South Sound, Granny LaLa's supplies her delicious specialty foods to coffee shops and other retail outlets in Pierce and Thurston counties.

I met the owner, Lara, at the Tacoma chapter meeting of the National Association of Catering Executives (NACE) this summer. She offered to stop by with her food samples: carrot cake, macaroons, brownies, and cookies. How could I resist that offer? Rachael and I gladly sampled all baked foods.

While I believe I have the best carrot cake recipe ever, I have to say that Granny LaLa's carrot cake was exquisite: moist, very flavorful, and it had an even texture.

She warned, while these foods are healthy, they are not calorie-free!
