About the Author
In addition to celiac, I also have 17 food allergies. And I'm deathly allergic to peanuts, can't even be near someone who just ate a peanut-y stack or I could end up in the ER.I'm still learning how to live and eat well despite a very restricted diet, which (due to my peanut allergy) also means a restricted life.

Pumpkin Cupcakes (gluten-free & sugar-free)

Oatmeal Muffins (gluten-free & sugar-free)
My gluten-free oatmeal muffins were very loosely based on the basic muffin recipe in my Better Homes and Gardens® Cook Book. Even though I can’t eat most of the recipes without making alterations, it’s still one of my favorite cookbooks … Continue reading

Cake Brownies (gluten-free & sugar-free)
I’d made gluten-free, egg-free, lactose-free brownies before (see the recipe) and they’d turned out well, but today I was in the mood for brownies that had a more brownie-like consistency. So I decided to try a completely different recipe. These … Continue reading

In honor of my sister’s seventeenth birthday, I attempted my first gluten-free cake. As many gluten-free people know, a birthday just isn’t quite the same without cake. I didn’t have much luck finding a classic chocolate cake recipe that was … Continue reading

Chocolate Mousse (gluten-free & sugar-free)
Valentine’s Day may be over, but that’s no reason to put the chocolate away. Bring on the mousse! You can buy gluten-free, sugar-free mousse mixes in the store, but they’re kind of pricy and the ingredient list contains way too … Continue reading

Cream Cheese Frosting (gluten-free & sugar-free)
Making frosting from scratch was a new experience for me. And, of course, the fact that it needed to be both gluten and sugar free and hopefully still tasty, made it seem a little more daunting. As a result, I … Continue reading
