Sister Kristen

I am not a real "sister," like a sister of the church (this sentence probably makes it clear that I don't know much about the church) but I am a sister in the sense that I do have a brother and since my name is Kristen, I am Sister Kristen.
When I was finally allowed to get a 13" t.v. in my bedroom I did not pick up many stations with my rabbit ears, but I did get the major networks and PBS. This is when I discovered Julia Child and Father Dominic. I found great entertainment in watching these programs. At first I think I just chose to watch because it was neither golf nor basketball and my options were severely limited but then it became more. I had profound respect for these masters, and for the subtle, almost dull fashion with which their expertise was presented. I think I was the only student at McCord Junior High that was watching Breaking Bread with Father Dominic instead of listening to Nirvana and shopping for new flannel shirts.
Jump ahead several years and i find that I have become a gluten free baker. Through several twists and turns I have come up with all these great original recipes and no place sell the final products anymore. Enter Blog. I hope for this to be my outlet to share the crazy world of gluten free baking/cooking that can sometimes seem impossible and overwhelming. I plan on sharing tips and recipes and maybe even sell a few loaves of bread.
Bread is my specialty. Funny, because we all have those things parents say that stick in our heads forever and I will forever hear in my head my dad saying "Man cannot live on bread alone." (often my brother and I use to make a meal out of the squishy inside of dinner rolls.) He was right, the celiac man or autistic child cannot live of bread alone because most of the bread they can eat falls apart on the way into their mouths. Fear not, the gluten free man can once again live on bread alone!
