About Me
Hello! and welcome!
Hi, I’m Sandi—welcome to my blog!
I’ve been creating gluten-free recipes since 2010, back when you couldn’t even find a loaf of gluten-free bread in most stores. When my family was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I had to relearn everything I made from scratch. I filled an entire notebook with gluten-free recipes, testing and adapting until I found what worked and what didn’t.
Since then, I’ve spent over 15 years developing gluten-free recipes that taste just as good as their original counterparts. Every recipe on my blog is rigorously tested using at least two different gluten-free flour blends—sometimes four or more! I do this so you don’t waste time, money, or ingredients trying to guess what will work. I also include flour-specific tips and tweaks to help you succeed no matter what brand you use.
I’ve worked closely with a wide range of gluten-free flour brands and have a deep understanding of how they perform in both baking and cooking. Whether you’re brand new to gluten-free or have been living this way for years, you’ll find trusted recipes, helpful techniques, and real-life guidance here to make your gluten-free journey easier—and a lot more delicious.
My Story
I am currently living in the San Francisco Bay Area with my husband, kids, and our cat, French Fry.
I worked in restaurants for much of my life, from making donuts at our local donut shop at the age of 16 to waitressing in high-end restaurants during high school and college, and for years after graduation. I also worked for a caterer during my summers. I learned so much from all of the chefs I worked with. This experience helped me learn skills that have helped me hone my recipe development craft.
I am a mom to two young adults. It is hard to believe they were in 2nd and 3rd grade when we all went gluten-free! I had to get creative in the recipes I created so that my foods looked and tasted like the real deal. I didn’t want my kids to feel excluded in any way.

What you will find on this blog
I created this blog to be a one-stop shop for all gluten-free topics, from resources to homemade recipes. I firmly believe that anyone can make delicious gluten-free meals and baked goods that taste like the real deal. Nobody will know they are gluten-free!
Whether you are only gluten-free or have other allergies or intolerances, I have tasty, easy-to-make recipes for you to enjoy. You can search my blog for egg-free, dairy-free, and nut-free options. I also want to tell you that most of my recipes have listed dairy-free options. I also have a lot of budget recipes on the blog because gluten-free can be really expensive.
I also love to convert treasured family recipes to gluten-free. If you have a recipe you would like a gluten-free version of, reach out to me!
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for stopping by. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to send me a message!
