Hi Everyone! I'm Linda, the creator of GlutenFreeHabit. I live in sunny Southern California with my husband and my two great kids (both boys, 17 and 8). Although they keep me VERY busy, I always love making time to create new gluten-free recipes for my family and yours!
WHY GLUTEN FREE HABIT? GlutenFreeHabit grew out of a passion (and a NEED) for gluten-free meals and treats that are DELICIOUS. You know what I mean...ones that your family would actually WANT to eat...things they would CRAVE. (Not just passable things that taste - well - gluten free.)
Our oldest son was diagnosed with Celiac disease many, many years ago...way before anyone had even heard of gluten! And so, our gluten-free journey began with a bumpy start. What was gluten anyway? What could we eat? What was off-limits? Employees at grocery stores and restaurants would look at us cross-eyed when we asked for gluten-free foods. One time we actually had a waiter at a restaurant tell us that EVERYTHING on the menu was gluten free...hmmm...really? (When I say that knowledge back then about gluten was limited, I wasn't kidding.) Anyway, after we stopped laughing and called the manager over, we learned what we expected...that they didn't serve anything at all that was gluten free.
After many similar experiences, we quickly learned that our gluten-free options were limited (at best), and foods that we did purchase were just not acceptable! We wanted our son to really enjoy food and have as many delicious options as anyone else, so I knew that it was time to start creating my own recipes. This was fine with me because I've always loved cooking and baking! After all, how hard could gluten free baking be? Right?? Funny...I know! |

LEARNING FROM MISTAKES... Perhaps like some of you, when I first started cooking and baking gluten-free, I knew nothing about it…and it was tough going! I have wasted more ingredients than I care to admit, just trying to get a recipe right! I found out that gluten free baking is not the same as "regular" baking. Not by a long shot. For some reason the gluten free flours just didn't "work" the same!! (Oh that's right...no gluten!!) Necessity is definitely the mother of invention though, and I quickly started researching…and learning…and baking...and having my family taste things… A LOT. And I do mean A LOT.
A DELICIOUS IDEA... Somewhere along the road my family thought it would be a good idea to film my recipes and post them on YouTube. I loved the idea of sharing what I had learned, and connecting as a community with people around the globe who are on the same journey as we are. And so, GlutenFreeHabit was born. I love the creativity of developing a recipe, filming the process, photographing the end result, and presenting it to you on YouTube, Instagram, and of course, here at GlutenFreeHabit.com.

IT'S A JOURNEY... Now, I have been cooking and baking gluten-free for many years. The learning never stops, but along the way I have developed, and built up, a collection of gluten-free recipes that have become family favorites. I tend to cook toward my kids' tastes, so there's plenty on my website that I hope will please your kids too! I happily share these recipes with you in hopes that they will make your gluten free journey a little easier...and a lot more delicious!
JOIN THE COMMUNITY! C'mon...journey with me and I believe we'll learn from each other along the way! Please subscribe to the GlutenFreeHabit YouTube Channel so that you never miss a recipe...and be sure to share this website with friends and family!
