Anything BUT Boring

This collection of gluten-free recipes, along with our interpretation of how to make them as delicious as possible, strikes the “Sweet Spot” where delicious, gluten-free, and healthy meet. Dare we say, they’re anything BUT boring!

Much more than a recipe collection, we approach American cuisine, especially dishes found in the Midwest and Wisconsin, with its diverse access to ingredients and fresh and flavorful variations as characters who’ve shaped our lives. These recipes are for real people and everyday life—food for all food lovers gathered at the same table.

Tested and Perfected

So you can eat modern-day versions of traditional foods reimagined as gluten-free. We try to focus on simple, clean, whole foods that are healthy, which honestly means a lot of different things to us. Foods like desserts, butter, real cream, and, of course, cheese, because we live in Wisconsin. Health is all about balance, right?

Something for Everyone

I hope you’ll find the dishes that work best for your lifestyle and kitchen—whether or not you need to be gluten-free. Use the filters below to search the recipes and narrow down the results to find the perfect recipe.

Inspired

The recipes that inspire me come from collections of handwritten recipes penned on tiny cards, selections that have achieved notoriety in church and regional cookbooks, and those that have piqued my interest from newspaper clippings, magazines, and other food and recipe sites. Recipes collected here range from simple meal choices you might make during a hectic week to more elaborate dishes for holidays or entertaining. All of the dishes tell a little about Wisconsin cuisine and Midwestern life.

Rooted

Most of these recipes will sound quite familiar, as they’re rooted in the Midwestern culinary landscape. In some cases, I’ve adapted ideas from traditional dishes, using modern methods and common-sense cooking to make them easier to prepare while balancing flavor, texture, and color. All things our grandmas probably wouldn’t have thought to consider in their day. In others, we have elevated the dish or ingredient in a way that would probably make eyes roll, or they’d never have dreamed of doing it in the first place.

In a Nutshell

These dishes best represent my everyday “real life” cooking style as a home cook—wholesome food and familiar, recognizable dishes reimagined, where one ingredient is swapped and mixed in for another to make them gluten-free, while elevating the health factor whenever possible.
