When I was growing up I had the most wonderful loving grandmother. We called her Grandmuzzie. She was one of the most fun people I’ve ever known! She was always telling stories, or entertaining us with her ragtime piano. I was one of the youngest, and she called me her “chickabidee.” This is a picture taken in 1961 of my Grandmuzzie holding me!
She was such a huge part of my family’s life! I loved coming home from school to any of her cookies, but her carrot cookies with orange frosting were just the best! I really craved them after my celiac diagnosis, and so I tweaked the recipe to taste near the same! I love eating them, and reliving my memories of her!

My husband brought me home some things from a pizza place last night. They were in foil packages and kept in the fridge overnight. I thought today I would be having a salad, but there’s no lettuce.
I realized I’d be eating a DELICIOUS pizza in a bowl!
I LOVE this idea for a hot summer day. This “pizza” includes chicken, ham, mushrooms, olives, jalapenos, tomatoes, onions, green pepper, & mozzarella cheese.

When I was young I hated oatmeal! My wonderful Mom would make breakfast for her seven kids and husband every day. When she’d serve cooked oatmeal, I wouldn’t eat it. It was slimy and I didn’t like the taste.
Mom also made great Oatmeal Cookies, but I would never touch them! After being diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I started craving the cooked oatmeal that my husband would fix each morning. I began wishing I could eat my Mom’s cookies!
When I finally bought some gluten-free oats I was in heaven, with my cooked oatmeal and oatmeal cookies! My family happily eats them too!
For a quick serving of oatmeal: Put 1/3 cup gluten-free oats in a tall cereal bowl, add 1 scant cup water and microwavefor 2 minutes then stir. I add milk and brown sugar.
Favorites of my family are The Best Banana Oatmeal Muffins and Tastes Like Mom’s Oatmeal Cookies in my Gluten-free recipes.

When I discovered that I could make yummy gluten-free desserts with my own recipes, I felt freed!
Now when I take a dish to a dinner or party, I use a gluten-free recipe so I can show others that eating gluten-free is tasty as well as a healthy alternative.
My family adores this Heavenly Apple Cake, served with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream! Get it in my 25 GF Recipes to Satisfy a Sweet Tooth.

Eating gluten-free doesn’t have to be complicated. Take, for example, Savory Italian Chicken. It’s one of those recipes that you can make for everybody and it is so EASY you won’t believe it! The chicken comes out perfectly done! Plus, it is a recipe that is good for the way many people need to eat.
My brother has diabetes and this recipe has just the right amount of carbs for him. My niece uses it for her family who need a casein-free diet. My husband and daughter are on the Weight Watchers program and it is low in points. In fact, it works for any low-cal, low-fat diet program. What could be better? Use brown rice for whole grain benefits.

I have traditionally made Brian cherry pie for his birthday. This year I made him this cherry cobbler. I’ll call it “Brian’s Cherry Cobbler.”
I met Brian 27 years ago. He was the most awesome and cutest guy I’d ever met! We were lined up for our first date by my big brother Tom and his wife Norene. We went with them on a double date to The Alpine Slide in Park City, and later ate at Cowboy Grub. Soon, he surprised me, by driving me straight up a mountain in his jeep to give me my diamond ring!
He’s been such a great husband, father of our kids, and he loves being a Grandpa now! He’s such a great support of my gluten-free diet, and is always willing to try any new recipe! He doesn’t have to eat gluten-free, but he eats everything I give him! He’s my biggest fan.

Here’s Brian with our granddaughter Joscelyn. She’s such a princess! She loves to keep him running, with her cute and silly demands! “Crappa” is excited as we wait for our next little princess, Gwendolyn, who will be born later this year!
Happy Birthday Brian – I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!
