I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2022. After spending most of my life in the kitchen raising kids, running a baking business and creating a successful online presence (The JellyBeanTrail) I wasn’t sure how to navigate the changes I would have to make. At times, the pivot felt impossible.

My next move was to get healthy and learn everything I could about gluten free cooking and baking, how to avoid cross-contamination and navigating social events and dining out.

I started testing recipes in my kitchen. - I failed a lot. But, I learned even more. I learned how to communicate at restaurants and hotels while travelling. And I learned that carrying food with me at all times is good practice. Because let’s face it, sometimes there’s no way to guarantee 100% GF. Now life feels, dare I say, normal.

Brown Sugar GF was born out of that obsession. A place to recreate and share the recipes that work and taste so good my non-GF family and friends ask for seconds.

Whether you’re newly diagnosed with an autoimmune condition, cooking for someone you love or dabbling in gluten-free living, I hope this little corner of the universe helps make gluten-free feel a little less scary and a lot more delicious.
