Bob's Joins Online Gluten Free Town Hall 3/23

We are so excited to be part of our first Gluten Free Town Hall on Instagram Live March 23 at 11:00 a.m. PST (2:00 p.m. EST), where our own Sarena Shasteen will discuss all things gluten free with an exceptional group of community leaders:

Jennifer Fitzpatrick

Jen Fitzpatrick is a celiac coach and blogger based in Boston. She was diagnosed with celiac disease in 2009 with little help from her doctor except, "just go gluten free." After 10 years of sickness and struggle, she took a sabbatical to travel the world and started a blog to document her adventures. Her blog has since grown to become a top-rated resource in the celiac community with gluten free recipes, travel guides and resources. She coaches people to become confident celiac advocates and enjoy a life full of gluten free food, travel and fun. Visit her website and follow her on Instagram.

Monita Sun

Monita’s love language is food. She’s a believer that happy taste buds and a happy tummy make for a happy life. So when her family was faced with health problems resulting in diet changes, she started adapting cultural favorites to their new diets. She has a passion for bringing joy to other by filling their tummies with yummy food and loves experimenting in the kitchen. When she’s not cooking, she enjoys growing organic veggies and fruits and long hikes in the woods. Follow her on Instagram.

Matt Weinstein

Matt Weinstein of Glass of Weinstein is a dedicated gluten free cook and content creator. He was diagnosed with celiac in the fall of 2014. A Manhattan resident of over 10 years, he focuses on gluten free recipe development and brand work, while also working to spread celiac awareness. His love of cooking came from watching Ina Garten on the Food Network, but most importantly from his curiosity watching his mom spearhead the Jewish holidays year after year. Matt started GOW in July 2020, a pandemic pivot from his career in musical theatre. Follow him on Instagram.

Sarena Shasteen

A graduate of The School of Culinary Arts in Atlanta, Sarena Shasteen has been a passionate advocate for gluten- and allergy-free eating for more than 15 years. An enthusiastic chef, recipe creator and photographer, she first shared delicious recipes free of gluten, dairy and soy as a blogger. Today, she is our Marketing Community Engagement Strategist at Bob's Red Mill, where she displays her knife skills, her sharp sense of humor and her ability to connect with all kinds of people. She's also the person behind the comments over at the Bob's Red Mill Instagram!

So join the Gluten Free Town Hall March 23 at 11:00 a.m. PST to learn and share your experiences—just go to our Instagram and you're in! Not gluten free? No worries, this is meant for everyone: gluten free, gluten full and those who have friends or relatives who need to be gluten free. We're also doing a giveaway during the event, but you'll need to be there live to enter.
