About me

Gender Female
Location Las Vegas, Nevada, United States
Introduction I am a licensed attorney in the State of New York and, but a cook by passion. In 2009. My husband and I now live in Boca Raton, FL. I haven't worked since my retirement in 2009, so I have had a lot of extra time to spend cooking and refining recipes! In 2005 I was diagnosed with Lupus (SLE) and Celiac Disease. Therefore, I cannot have any gluten which is found in wheat, barley and rye. Oats are also to be avoided unless they are clearly labeled as gluten free. (Some oats are processed in the same plant as grains containing glutens which can cause cross-contamination.) Since my diagnosis I have converted virtually all of the family recipes to gluten free and created many more wonderful recipes. My husband, friends and family can't even tell the difference! Gluten free does not mean tastless and crumbly! These recipes prove it. I am currently working on my first cook book and this is my first blog. Whether you have Celiac Disease or not, these recipes are sure to please. Enjoy! By clicking on "View My Complete Profile" you will be directed to a link to email me.
