Welcome to Gluten Free Recipes and Writings. I am your host, Rita. I have been cooking and baking gluten free for the past 17 years and much longer non-gluten free. My four children and I all have celiac disease, so it is necessary to be creative. I started out on this gluten-free journey over 17 years ago. It was a relief to find out why I could not lose weight, but it has been a struggle. Now, 17 years later, I want to help anyone who is curious about the gluten-free diet; anyone who needs to make a meal gluten-free for a friend, or acquaintance; anyone who wants to cook for a family in crisis, or a shut-in with celiac disease; anyone who is looking for help with the gluten free diet . What about you? What challenges do you have?
Today is the first blog post. I chose this date especially because it was my adopted grandmother’s birthday. She was a wonderful, faith-filled woman who I admired (and still do, though she has passed on now) wholeheartedly. She left this world about 19 years ago, before I even knew I had celiac disease. I miss her like crazy, but am trying to be the woman she always believed I was.
Tomorrow is my birthday and I promise to give you the recipe for my grandfather’s favorite Chocolate Fudge Cake. It is beyond wonderful, so try not to drool on your computer/tablet/phone! Stay tuned…
