If I ever find myself in New York City, I'll be making a definite trip to actress Jennifer Esposito's gluten-free organic bakery. Her story of overcoming adversity is such a dose of inspiration as she fought unfair treatment concerning her Celiac disease by former employer CBS on the set of "Blue Bloods". After CBS allegedly ignored Jennifer's physician requests for her to work a temporary reduced work schedule, she collapsed on set due to complications from Celiac related symptoms. Read more about her story on her website Jennifer's Way, which is dedicated to Celiac advocacy and support. Jennifer's Way bakery offers everything from bagels to cakes, breads, and cinnamon rolls -- all free of gluten, soy, dairy, and refined sugar! If you're ever in NYC, I highly suggest you go check it out and say hi to Jennifer. In her words, "Food should be enjoyed, not feared!" Check out the full menu here.
