While bragging rights are definitely a plus the potential property tax freeze is a huge boost. The Historic Chicago Bungalow Association estimates there are 80000 bungalows in the city if not more.

Local resident Diane Prodzenski started a recipe club about 12 years ago to share in her love of cooking and baking. The group shared a potluck with each person designated a portion of the meal – main dish side dishes and dessert. Recently Prodzenski was diagnosed with Celiac disease and those dishes have had to go the wayside as she requires a gluten-free diet. Due to the constraints of her disease she has found easy and delicious ways to make her favorites gluten-free and as a side benefit healthier. To join her recipe exchange simply email her at foodee5@aol.com.
