About Me



After experiencing a variety of medical problems, I was finally diagnosed with celiac disease in 2010. Initially, I felt overwhelmed trying to figure out how to eat gluten free and how to avoid wheat, barley, and rye. When I discovered blogs written by others with celiac disease, I didn’t feel so alone anymore. Eventually I decided to chronicle my own gluten free journey. Writing about my celiac disease has been a very therapeutic process for me. It also provided an opportunity for me to share products, recipes, and restaurants with my sister, who also has celiac disease. Despite us both living across the country, keeping a blog allows me to easily share. I’m also pleased to share what I’ve learned with others; awareness is the key for a quicker diagnosis, the ability for those with celiac disease to live healthy lives, and for the general public to understand that a gluten free diet is not just a fad.

Born and raised in Michigan, I moved to Texas with my military husband, Justin. We visit Pure Michigan whenever we can, but also love to explore Texas. We are self-proclaimed foodies who enjoy trying new restaurants, going on weekend trips, and cooking together, although I’m usually his sous chef. Justin and I also have a loving, yet active dog, named Iivana. She is often the topic of many of our daily musings.

I am a teacher and recently earned my master’s degree in reading and literacy. I love teaching, learning, and writing. I can’t pass up a good deal and enjoy DIY projects. I’m addicted to Tom’s shoes and love sweet, chewy candy! I am the youngest of four girls. I have an amazing family and friends. So while I live a gluten free life, I don’t let it define me.
