About the recipes

All the recipes on my blog are free of gluten, casein, soy and peanut. I've been baking without gluten and casein since January 2005, and I've been baking without eggs (gluten free and vegan) since June 2010. Many other recipes are corn free, nut free, yeast free and vegan. There's probably a little something for everyone here!

About Me

Erin: I am a gluten, casein and soy free ADHD mom to two lovely girls who are the lights of my life. My girls are gluten, casein, egg, soy and peanut free. My chef crush is Rick Bayless and my movie star crush is Gary Oldman. The music I'm really digging right now is Departure Songs by Hammock.

About the other stuff (My Amazing Girls)

Sometimes I write about living with a little girl who has ASD and her fierce and brave younger sister who has ADHD. They've opened my mind and my heart more than I ever could have imagined.

Favorite Lyrics

"There's only one thing that I know
how to do well
And I've often been told that you only can do
what you know how to do well
And that's be you,
Be what you're like,
Be like yourself..."
They Might be Giants, Whistling in the Dark

About Xanthan Gum and Guar Gum

Want to use guar gum instead of xanthan gum? Use 50% more guar gum than the xanthan gum called for in a recipe. So if a recipe calls for 1 tsp. xanthan gum, use 1 1/2 tsp. guar gum instead. This works great for everything except sandwich bread, in which case double the guar gum and expect your loaf to be flat as guar gum seems to inhibit yeast growth.
