About Me

My photo
I am a wife, mother and grandmother and have always enjoyed cooking for my family. Last year, my oldest daughter discovered that she was gluten intolerant and I quickly discovered how difficult it was to find GF food available in the grocery store that was as good as the gluten full stuff. I hated that everyone in my family could enjoy some yummy desserts and breads, but not my daughter. So I began experimenting with homemade recipes and after much trial and error, have come up with some very simple and delicious recipes. My goal when creating a recipe is to make it as close to the gluten full stuff, but as simple as possible to make.
