Chocolate Magic Cookies

Chocolate Magic Cookies

These cookies are a new favorite version of our Hot Cocoa Cookies. We think they are magical because they have no flour and create the coolest texture for a cookie. The outside is thin and crispy, and the inside is chewy and gooey! Doesn't that sound amazing? With white chocolate and almond extract, they are filled with some of our greatest flavors. Make a batch today!

Chocolate Angel Cake

Chocolate Angel Cake

This dessert is THE ONLY DESSERT you'll ever need in your life to be completely happy. It is our favorite cake of all time, and only comes out for birthdays so it's super special. Every time we have a birthday and I take that first bite again, I am just blown away! It's one of my oldest recipes and I found it in a magazine at my grandma's house when we were first married. It has changed our lives! If you try any one thing from my blog, I hope you'll try this. Seriously, this will blow your mind!

The Best Soft Caramels

The Best Soft Caramels

For at least a decade, I've been perfecting my Christmas candy making. With gluten free kids, making dozens of baked goods didn't make sense, so I put my time and efforts into learning the art of making the best candy. My good friends and neighbors all look forward to our assortment of candies at Christmas time. I'm excited to share my learnings with you! We are starting with my all time favorite soft caramels. These little gems are heaven in every bite. Christmas wouldn't be the same without them!

Scotcharoos

Scotcharoos

Have you ever heard of a "scotcharoo"? Well, it is delicious! It is a great combination of peanut butter, butterscotch, and chocolate with a rice crispy treat! They are so much fun to serve to kiddos in the summer or for an after school snack. I keep mine refrigerated so they are cold, and on a hot summer day it's heaven!

Mother Goose Popcorn

Mother Goose Popcorn

This sweet popcorn is fun to make for different holidays by changing the color. We love to make green popcorn for St. Patrick's Day! It is such a tasty snack or dessert, and is a great surprise in a school lunch too. The sugary coating is unique to any other popcorn I make, and it's addicting! I don't know how this recipe got it's name, but it's been in my family for years.

Patriotic Fruit Pizza

Patriotic Fruit Pizza

Do you want to celebrate the 4th of July with a dessert that will be a real showstopper? This fruit pizza is so much fun to make and eat. With a gluten free sugar cookie crust, fresh berries, and a delicious cream filling, everyone will want a slice! I love desserts that use fruit in season, and that is berries right now for us. This would definitely be a grand finale to any 4th of July BBQ!

About Me

About me photo

Hello! I'm a mom of four kids and live in Virginia. Two of my kids have celiac disease, so I've been cooking gluten free for 18 years now! It was very overwhelming when my oldest daughter was diagnosed back in 2007, but it has been a fulfilling journey ever since. I know there are a lot of gluten free blogs out there, but I wanted to create one devoted to food specifically for kids.

Through the years, I've had many friends come to me when they or someone close to them have started down the gluten free path. I used to send them an email detailing our favorite brands, what breads, pastas, pizza, etc. are most enjoyed by my kids, as well as some of our best recipes to get them started. I am hoping to help others who may be new to gluten free eating or just want to have some fresh ideas.

Cooking and baking have always been a passion of mine, so when my daughter was diagnosed, my mom told me "you're just the mom to make the best of this". Moms know just what to say!! It has definitely become second nature to me, and I've found ways to help my kids enjoy food just as much as they would if they could have gluten. The trick..... make it so delicious that my whole family enjoys it! Let's get started!
