Deep breath in... I have celiac disease. (Said super fast and almost unrecognizable.) There. I said it. Out loud. Well kind of out loud. But I said it. This admission has taken a while to be forthcoming with publicly. A few people know and it has slowly been coming out, but for the most part I've...

I'm a big fan of my mom's fairy pudding recipe, but I'm also a big fan of gluten free dessert because that's where I'm at in life. Fingers still crossed for a magic pill to one day allow me to eat whatever I want, but for now I'm just adhering to the celiac disease diet...

I love desserts that are quick and easy to make, but I also love them to be gluten free. I've been living gluten free for over two years now. It has been an adjustment, sure. But at the same time I've enjoyed researching different ways in which to eat gluten free. Pinterest is full of...

The holidays are full of lots of family gatherings that include lots of food. It's a real struggle for us celiac disease people this time of year when all we really want is to just fit in. I for one do not like the attention that comes from my dietary restrictions. Good thing I have gluten...

When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease I thought of it as a death sentence. I know that sounds a little over the top and even harsh. But that's how I felt. Can't change how you feel in that moment. One of my favorite foods is Italian. I'm not Italian at all in heritage...
I love living in St Louis and I love all the that we have here. Tons and tons of yummy things to eat. A big stress for me when I found out that I have celiac disease was whatever would I be able to eat??? Could I still eat out in our fine city? Were...
When I was first diagnosed with celiac disease I definitely went through the stages of grief. Okay I'm still in the stages actually. Grief is a long process. I've experienced loss before and I do feel somewhat odd comparing this diagnosis to the loss of a loved one. It seems almost trivial. To compare my change of...

When you are living gluten free, desserts are extremely hard to come by. Basically you have to get creative and find out what works for you or even make your own entirely. I've found that it's not that difficult to make my own. Just takes a bit of thinking outside of the box. I'm in...
As you all know Valentine's Day fell on a Sunday this year. For us Sundays are a special day where we go to church and then just spend time together as a family. We choose not to shop or eat out on Sunday. It's just what we do. In past years the husband and I...
