The girl behind the food, photos and words. I'm a foodie. A gluten free foodie. The kitchen is my favorite place to be and I believe that gluten free is not flavor free. My goal is to showcase some of my favorite products, to offer delicious recipes & menus, to answer questions and share my observations on the GF life with you.

Why indeed! The gluten free lifestyle is something that has become very important to me the past few years. My mother was diagnosed with a gluten intolerance in 2009, and as we learned more of her condition, we discovered that her intolerance can be genetic. At that point I chose to become gluten free as well, although not diagnosed, I enjoy many benefits from living a GF lifestyle.

The Farm! My family owns and manages a farm in beautiful, rural Illinois. We are currently raising chickens organically for meat and eggs (I love using fresh farm eggs in many of my recipes!) and grass fed beef. We are also in the process of becoming certified organic. Knowing that your food comes from your own backyard is truly a locavore's dream!

In September of 2010, my sister and I opened Simple Market in Woodstock, IL. Simple Market is a small health food store that specializes in gluten free foods, locally grown food and several vitamin lines. Simple Market combines three things that I am most passionate about and allows me to share them with the world (or at least a small part of the world). If you're ever in the neighborhood, please stop by and say hello!
So that's a little about me, leave me a comment and tell me a little about you.
