I had a mishap that had me rushing the clock for this one, but I managed to pull through and get this to the special bride and groom just in time for their celebration.

What an honor to be a part of it! 🩵

GF Pesto Pasta! 💥

My son gave this 0 stars. My husband said it might be his new favorite meal. I'll let you decide. 😂

I forgot to take a final pic, but you can add chicken, or sundried tomatoes, or spinach for a quick and easy week night dinner! 🙌

This isn't the typical frozen GF crust -- the dough is made from scratch right in our kitchen. To help avoid cross-contamination, we bake it in a metal pan, then transfer it to an allergy-free tray for cutting.

To order online:

Saturdays are for simplicity. 💚

Toast with peanut butter, Nutella or nut-free butter, fruit, and drizzled with honey.

We are trying Simple Truth honey oat gf bread this morning. What's your go-to for sandwich bread?

Hey, if we have to be gluten-free, I mean, what other options do we have? 😂

My son's favorite foods are Shucks Fish House & Oyster Bar's GF Calamari and Steak at Spezia Omaha. The kid is 12.... he bougie. 😆

Since several of you have been inquiring as to why I haven't been sharing my bakery recipes with you all since shifting from my cottage bakery.... I thought I'd give a brief update!

Many of my recipes are the culmination of over 10 years of recipe testing and development. To be perfectly honest, I'm not yet prepared to release them to the public until I have a more comprehensive understanding of the implications.

Some of my menu items have gained traction all throughout the country, and in larger cities like Portland and in NYC. 😍

So yes, I am considering all of the options! 🥰 This includes a recipe book as well as possibly helping train other bakers/or businesses looking to enhance their gf offerings. This will likely entail some work with an intellectual property attorney; so it'll take some time before I have a grasp on what that all looks like.

I don't plan on keeping all of the work I built over the past years hidden from you all forever. I'd love to continue to figure out a way to bring some of these goodies back into your homes in some capacity; I just don't know entirely what that looks like! I promise to let you know when I figure it all out! 😅

Thanks for bearing with me!!! 💚💚💚

What's for Dinner??? 🤔

Family Style GF Gnocchi.
DeLallo makes these in a dedicated GF facility. 🙌

Just add the gnocchi to a pot of boiling saltwater and cook for 2-3 minutes until the gnocchi float to the top. Drain and add your favorite sauce. Tonight we did a creamy garlic and spinach sauce!

SOOO much quicker than waiting for gf pastas to cook; and endless options for a fun and unique dinner!
