I'm so glad to be here with you today. I hope you're having an awesome day. This is releasing on Thursday, so I hope you're getting ready for the weekend. But whenever you are listening to this and wherever you are, I'm so glad to be there with you and to be in your ears. I love seeing pictures that people send me of where you are listening, what you're doing while you're listening.

And I feel like I just get to go to a lot of places. So thank you for inviting me into your day. The music in the background that we love sharing with you is our sweet friend, Ellie Hulk. I hope you've gotten her record red sea road. It is just one of my very very favorite, so I'm still listening to it regularly.

As a lot of you know, part of my story from reading, looking for lovely and 2013. I stopped eating dairy, and I stopped eating gluten. And when I woke, I started eating healthy and food was coming out of my home for regular meals.

I ended up gaining a lot of calories, but I also had some foods I had to eat for breakfast, so it was so delicious.

from reading, looking for lovely, in 2013, I stopped eating dairy and I stopped eating gluten.

And when I tried to reintroduce dairy into my life, I had a massive allergic reaction

and have ever since been totally dairy free. And I'm 80, 20 gluten free. And it has totally changed

my life in every, literally in every kind of way. I'm just a better Annie all around.

And one of the friends who has really walked with me through that and been dear to me and helpful to

and made it so that I can eat ranch dressing again is New York Times best-selling cookbook author,

Danielle Walker. You may know her as Against All Grane. That is her Instagram, her blog, her website,

her Twitter. She is Against All Grane and she is just an incredibly talented cookbook writer,

chef, and friend. She is awesome. In fact, her most recent cookbook that released is called

Celebrations and it goes through the whole calendar year giving you different foods for the

different holidays that are gluten free, dairy free, nut free, just all sorts of options. If you have

any kind of restricted diet on behalf of being a healthier human, she has made lots of cookbooks

that will help. But the Celebrations one is one of my very favorites. In fact, when she brought

it to Nashville a couple of weeks before it released and handed it to me, I mean, I look through

every page. The pictures are gorgeous. The recipes are incredible. She's just unstoppable. I adore

her. And I think you're going to adore her too. So if you have never met Danielle Walker, I'm so

happy to introduce you. My guess is you know who she is because most people who read cookbooks by

cookbooks or are on Twitter or on Instagram know who she is. She's incredibly fun, follow across
