“Food is Medicine,” said Nadine Grzeskowiak, Gluten Free RN and author of Dough Nation. It is even medicine at tailgate parties! Grzeskowiak shared her menu for a healthy tailgate party at the Greater Corvallis Rotary Club meeting Friday, Sept. 12, as Rotarians prepare for the home opening Oregon State football game on Sept. 17. Grzeskowiak’s menu calls for grilled steak, corn on the cob or a good stew cooked in a crock pot.
The Gluten Free RN told her story of being diagnosed with Celiac Disease and how she overcame her condition and improved her health by

Grzeskowiak has published her first book, Dough Nation, about her celiac disease experiences and food solutions.
