My name is Cassandra and I’ve been gluten-free for five years. Even though I am the only Celiac in the family, my home is completely gluten-free, to keep me safe and us all sane. I love experimenting in the kitchen with my husband, Andy, and our two boys – Braden and Carter.
I am the assistant treasurer and book sales chairman of my local support group, North Texas GIG. We hosted the annual GIG Education Conference, June 6-7, 2008. We had a great time. I can’t wait until Seattle!!
Music is my first love (though it now lies behind my family). I was teaching piano lessons, though I’ve had to stop for now. I love to sing solos at church (though it is still nerve-wracking) and be a part of the church choir.
My husband, Andy, is a firefighter/paramedic. While at the fire station, he can often be found baking cookies in the evening, and his nickname there is Keebler. He spends a lot of his “free time” from the department as an independent associate with Pre-Paid Legal Services, Inc.
Braden will be turning 7 in March. He is currently in the second grade at a wonderful school. I enjoy volunteering in his class and in other ways at his school.
Carter will be 3 in June and is my little pal. Both boys love to help me in the kitchen.
I finally got my little girl in September 2008. Her name is Corice, and she is absolutely precious.
I sincerely hope you find something to delight your senses on my blog. Enjoy!

surprised that NO ONE has diabetic/celiac receipes
so many diabetics are celiac and so little help out there…………very discouraging at times…..

There is a real need for diabetic/celiac receipes..
do you know of any……IF it is gf then has sugar. A lot of GF food adds sugar to make up for the terrible taste of GF food , esp. bread or grain type food replacement….

This message is for Karen. My mom has both Celiac’s and diabetes. My sister and I pride ourselves on creating delicious recipes for her, that cater to both of her needs. I completely understand the level of frustration. But I would love to be able to help you if I can. Feel free to email me any questions gabbytheglutenfreeguru@gmail.com or post me a comment at http://www.glutenfreegallery.com No one should have to figure it out alone.

Thank you for a very good website. As a former Bella Vista Bronco with your mother, I heard about this from her. I am a wholistic nurse practitioner in Alaska. Have helped some clients try to go gluten-free with Prescription for Natural Healing and other books. Your site is a very good addition. I do try to minimize it in my own diet too. Merry Healthy Christmas

just ran across your blog. I have finally realized that years of sinus congestion and stomach pains seem to be due to gluten- not sure to what extent- need to get started with testing.. Thank you for the attention and information you give your blog- so helpful !!

Great blog. My son and I are gluten free as well. My daughter is still quite young but she most likely will be as well. I am looking forward to reading some of your posts.

I’m a celiac living in a gluten FILLED home. My husband and daughter are glutenites.
I also market Pre-Paid Legal Services. The extra income helps me pay for my lavish GF lifestyle (you know, $6 loaves of bread that taste like sawdust and such). Someday soon I hope to be able to afford a house with a kitchen big enough for a GF Zone. I dream of my own sink, small appliances, cooking utensils, baking supplies…ahhh to dream!

Hello Cassandra,
I found your blog and love your recipes!
I have launched an online store dedicated to providing resources and products to people suffering with Food Allergies, Food Intolerance and those requiring other special diets. Over 98% of my products are Gluten-Free.
One of those resources is giving my customers some great recipes to try…and in the process, promoting cookbook authors/bloggers.
If you are interested in participating, when I use a recipe, I provide direct reference to your blog and also include a link back to your website. If you would like to participate, I can just pull some of your favorites directly from your site to post.
Additionally, I feature an author each month in my newsletters.
Thank you for your attention and I look forward to hearing from you.
