It happens; we get older, our bodies decide what we can and can't eat. Sometimes we develop new "allergies" or "intolerances".

Have you eaten something wonderful - a dish that you ate for your entire life - only to find that your gut starts to growl and suddenly you need to leave the table? Might be a food intolerance. In my case, it was gluten. I remember my good friend telling me about her dietary issues years ago. Back then, pickins were slim for gluten-free items.

It takes patience and practice to go “gluten free”, a task I am still perfecting (when I eat out). But my home, my baking, is gluten free. No more Wheat Thins or Triscuits or any other easy to find crackers. Now, my swear-by cracker is Mary’s (check it out; your colon will thank you).

Pillsbury and Gold Medal - gone. In their place: King Arthur’s GF 1:1 flour. For those who are not savvy to 1:1 (like me, until I made few errors), 1:1 means that this flour is equal in measurement regular wheat flour. It has xanthan gum added, which helps bind the flour, same as gluten does.

Being gluten-free does not mean you have to give up the good stuff, especially treats.

I know. I’ve been baking GF desserts for years. Go ahead, take a bite!

Thanks for taking time to read about how you and I landed here, on this page.

Fact is, food is life and I find that, when we LET food entertain our mouths and guts, we live better.

If you've come to this site from Google Business, know this: I am a licensed "home kitchen" (aka "cottage industry"). My baking space is IN my home. I do not operate out of a storefront. Click through this website (you can shop in your PJ's!), text/email your order, especially if you are local. If you're picking up your order, there is 100% chance you'll leave with more than you purchased. I always have extras!

What are you waiting for? Let’s live better!

I’m a boomer, which means I still write checks, make phone calls, leave messages. You know who we are. However, a majority of my clients are much more hip with websites and social media. To this end, please use this website as a catalogue of what Love, Marianne offers.

You DO NOT have to order through the website; it adds unnecessary fees, and doesn’t take into consideration many shipping factors.
