Kirsten is a Registered Dietician in training, pursuing certification towards becoming a Registered Dietitian, and a Gluten Free Nutrition Consultant. She has a Bachelors of Science from Illinois State and and a Bachelors of Science from Metropolitan State University of Denver in Human Nutrition and Dietetics.
I was diagnosed w/ Celiac disease in 2010, my goal is to provide a path for healthy living to individuals who are seeking a tailored made lifestyle specific to them and their needs.
I believe that everyone is different, there’s not one diet that can work for everyone. The word Diet, is a short-term concept, let’s change diet into ‘lifestyle change’ instead and think long-term. Make healthier decisions not just today but for the years ahead of us as well. A lifestyle change is a journey not a sprint.
Living the gluten free lifestyle is not an easy one and can be very overwhelming: from grocery shopping and social events, to deglutening your own household. I will help you navigate the gluten-free maze with tips, tricks, humor, healthy recipes and more.

Thank you, much appreciated!!
Unfortunately when I do go to a family Holiday gathering I bring enough of my own food so that I don’t have to eat what anyone else cooked. Everyone is free to eat what I bring, I cook for everyone, but if I get cross contaminated I get really sick, sometimes in the hospital because of my other illnesses.

Hello Kirsten,
This is a great idea, the other day I was reading about the subject and an idea was to provide different colors for the GF dishes so any one would know right from a sight what it is. In this case, you just want tips of this kind for that table, or would like a recipe?
I would love to share the recipe for any one of my ganaches as part of the dinner table, but I am from another country and dont know what kind of flavors and ingredients will fit thanksgiving table (I know about the turkey, pumpink, and cranberry, but that´s pretty much it!) can you give me a hint to start working with?
In case you are not familiar with ganache, is is a creamy or sirop-like mixture based on chocolate and any kind of liquid, (right know, I can think of a cranberry juice based ganache), mixed with butter, spices and as many ingredients as the chef/cook/chocolatier/designer of the product want to put in there.
I would be more than glad to share one if you guide me in the right direction!
Have a blessed day!
Joel.
Hi Joel,
Yes I’m looking for ideas similar to the different color plates, but would love you to share a ganache recipe.
What is your favorite ganache you make?

I say why does it have to be shared! Thanksgiving is the perfect meal to make gluten free without anyone noticing. Except maybe for dessert, in which case, options are a plenty.

When you need room temperature eggs but forgot to get them out of the frig, just put them into hot tap water for 3-4 minutes and there you go…worked for me.
