About

So why another blog about living gluten-free? There are already plenty of them out there. Many very fine ones, each with their own niche and points of interest. Often they focus on recipes, or where to find gluten free foods, or how to live gluten free on a budget.

This blog is the story of my continued journey into learning and loving the gluten free life, and the discoveries I make along the way. While it's a life I certainly never anticipated, since it was thrust upon me a year and a half ago I've come to enjoy it and the challenges it presents. I've learned so much, had fun beginning to experiment with the completely different chemistry that's necessary to cook and bake with these new ingredients, and found that life on a gluten free diet is as much full of joys, delights, and "normalcy," as any other could be. Far from the miserable nightmare that I heard about when I started, it has surprised me how easy it is in many ways!

I still have so much to learn: foods to master, science to understand. And the landscape of gluten free is continually changing:  as new medical discoveries are made, as awareness increases, as more companies create gluten free products, as more restaurants provide gluten free menus.

Through this blog I want to share everything I have learned and continue learning. I hope it will encourage you, surprise you, answer questions you have, and help you live your gluten free life to the fullest.

Some topics to expect:
  • Stories and experiences from my gluten free life
  • Tips and tricks
  • Myths busted and misconceptions revealed
  • Recipes (for making all those things you thought you couldn't eat anymore)
  • FAQs and GF basics
  • Product reviews
  • News
  • Links to helpful resources
  • and since there is more to life than avoiding gluten (really, there is?!) you never know when random other topics may crop up that are only tangentially (or less) related
Thank you for reading!
