I have been living a gluten free lifestyle for a few years now. My partner is celiac and I am self-diagnosed gluten intolerant. I love to cook, but adapting to a gluten-free lifestyle has had its challenges. Cooking every meal with few shortcuts is time consuming, but I feel I've come to a sort of mastery with it. While there are plenty of "gluten-free" products on the market, my approach to a gluten-free lifestyle is to not have gluten-free substitutes but to find new and exciting approaches to food with real ingredients.

I'm a voice teacher in the Piedmont of North Carolina and an aspiring farmer. My partner and I currently farm about an acre, growing what food we can for ourselves and living a sustainable lifestyle to the best of our abilities. I love making jams, canning, baking sweet potato pie in our fire roasted wood oven, knitting, yoga, and cooking tasty gluten-free meals. Our next big adventure are some laying hens. Having fresh eggs all the time will be a dream!

Anyways, I just wanted to say "hi" and tell y'all a bit about myself. I'm am all game for some recipe trading and gluten-free baking secrets!
