about me

My family is gluten free, meaning we can't eat anything with the slightest amount of wheat, rye, oats, or barley. While it makes cooking a challenge, it also makes it fun!

I spend too much time on the computer (mostly 'Zaar) looking up new recipes to try. I've collected a bunch of recipes from 'Zaar, my cookbooks, and other websites that I use on a regular basis, most of which have been tweaked to be gluten-free. I guess I have about 100 so far.

I have two kids, so spend my days at home with them.

What do I like? My husband, my kids, skiing, spending time on the computer, reading old gentle romances, going to playgroups, and girl's night out.

My favorite cookbooks? How to Cook Without a Book by Pam Anderson; Cooking Gluten-Free by Karen Robertson; Wheat-Free Recipes and Menus by Carol Fenster; and Gluten-Free Baking by Annalise Roberts.

Favorite Foods:

Favorite special meal: Wonderful Prime Rib (recipe from 'Zaar)

Favorite dessert: Creme Brulee (haven't made that at home...just eaten at restaurants)

Favorite comfort food: hot fudge sundae

Favorite meal: Herb-roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, and gluten free corn bread.
