I am gluten free and you are too, or you probably wouldn't be here!

I've started this blog to share my experiences with Celiac Disease. I was diagnosed 15 years ago and have been living a gluten-free lifestyle ever since. Researching and finding information then was very difficult, not like today where you are literally a click away from all the information you need to get you going. Even though the information out there today is readily available that doesn't mean that it is easy to put into practice. Cooking and baking with gluten-free ingredients is just not the same as cooking and baking with wheat flour or other ingredients containing gluten. Learning to cook gluten-free is an art and not easily mastered by everyone. You have to be persistent and dedicated. No matter how many failures you have to keep trying. Practice makes perfect in the truest sense of the word. You will find that certain ingredients work in some recipes while those same ingredients won't work in other recipes, or won't work as well. Most recipes will take several tries to end up with something edible and ultimately good. I hope to help you through that process with this blog. If some of my ideas make your day a better one than it will have been worthwhile. Happy cooking to you!
