About GFOAS

I am Nicole. 

I am a mother of 3 and until recently I was a practicing lawyer.  Now, I am at home with the children for the time being, and my work colleague is our rescue dog, Friday.  We think he is a black labrador/pointer mix.  He has ridiculously long legs that make him look like Bambi.  He’s nearly 2.

My eldest child is nearly 7 years old, a girl, my middle child is my son and he is 5 years old, and the Little One is another girl who is 3 1/2.  I have been married to their father, Brian, since, well, forever.  It’s been years and years.  He is an advertising creative.  A writer. 

Our son has celiac disease.  We discovered this when he was just a baby, a very sick little baby.  I had just learned to cook (at all) a short while earlier, for my first child, and now I had to learn to cook and bake gluten free.  And learn I did.  Then I started to innovate, and I learned that gluten free baking is more art than science, while traditional baking is more science than art.

Everything I made had to be good, because I love having people come to eat, and I did not want them to suffer for my son’s dietary limitations.  And especially now it has to be inexpensive because the economy sucks.

Now I pretty well cook Gluten Free On A Shoestring, for kids and adults — with style . 

Bon appetit!
