Our story

Nathan was diagnosed with “Celiac disease” (gluten/ wheat allergy?) in 2005, before it was cool. A doctor told him he was going to run some tests, and when the results came in he told Nathan, “You have Celiac disease, did you know you had Celiac disease? No? I’ll be right back”, and then left the room. Was Nathan a bit worried about being told he had a disease he’d never heard of? You bet. And he didn’t have a cell phone back then to look up Celiac disease to see what it was, for all he knew, he was dying. The doctor eventually returned with a print out and told Nate, “Go home and read this.” Nathan quickly found out he wasn’t going to be able to eat most of his favorite foods, and soon found out from trial and error that he was VERY sensitive to gluten.

Fast forward to today, Nate is a happy and healthy guy, but his life is limited in many ways by gluten. He only eats at dedicated gluten free restaurants (mostly), keeps no gluten in the house (much to his kids annoyance), and without Natalie cooking amazing meals everyday he would probably starve. Thankfully she does make the most amazing food, and we will share those recipes here with you! As well as our experiences with gluten free products, restaurants, etc. We hope you enjoy reading as much as we enjoy eating!

We also started a Bed and Breakfast so people visiting Western North Carolina who are gluten free have a safe place to stay, and delicious food to eat! Check it out here: Gluten Free BnB
