About Me

Hi!  My name is Karen and if you couldn’t already tell, I am a serious Red Sox fan.  I am also gluten free.  This is just a little corner of the web for me to share my adventures as I learn to cook and bake gluten free (as well as rant about the Sox).  Enjoy!

    

    

Here are a few random things about me, in no particular order of importance:

- I grew up on Cape Cod (in MA), thus the love of the Red Sox.

- I now live in Tennessee.

- I have been gluten-free since May 2007.

- I really don’t remember “learning” to cook, other than just be watching my Mom.

- I have a law degree.

- I have one dog and three cats.

- I married an Aussie because I liked his accent.  (Okay, that’s not really the reason, but I do like the accent.  Even though he’d already lost most of his accent from living in the U.S. for a while.)

- I love to cook for other people; I love to entertain.

- I catered weddings for two of my friends (very informal, not a lot of people, but still.)

- My dream job would be that of personal chef, focusing on gluten-free and other specialty diets. 

- I gave up the law just recently to chase my dream.  I now work as a Catering Coordinator at the Chattanooga Doubletree.  It’s a foot in the door, and I’m very excited to be doing what I want to do.

 

If you want to learn more random things about me, Carrie at Ginger Lemon Girl interviewed me for the February edition of her Monthly Gluten Free Grill.
