“Can-do” Recipes

As a child, you could say I was a happy kid. I loved to read, play, and sing. But at the age of 6, I began to feel fatigued and nauseous every day. Dark coloring began to appear under my eyes, and I had a hard time physically exerting myself. My parents took me to the doctor, and we went from doctor to doctor, wondering if I'd ever get diagnosed with anything! Finally, after an endoscopy, the answer became clear- I had Celiac Disease. Of course, back then there was no labeling law, so my parents had to call every company to see if the products were gluten-free.

I focus on easy recipes, since I'm a high school student and don't have very much time on my hands due to school. I want to share my can-do attitude with everyone who is on the diet, and I will continue to do so for the rest of my life!
