I’m a mom of 2 with a degree in Public Health and a passion for delicious food.

I know what it’s like:

Planning dinner every night
Trying to navigate picky eating or food allergies
Not wanting to be bored eating the same, tired meals every week.

And I want you to have a friend in your corner! That’s why…

We make Fresh, Flexible Food that feels good!

Our Story

I started One Lovely Life in my 400-square foot apartment back in 2008(!!!), long before blogging was a full-time job, and since then, I’ve developed over 1,000 recipes to make your life more delicious.

I developed Celiac when I was pregnant with my youngest in 2012, so I know how overwhelming it can be when you’re changing your diet! From navigating ingredient labels on a daily basis, to celebrating the holidays, I know it’s not always easy to be gluten-free!

My goal at One Lovely Life is to make sure you always have something great to eat, whether it’s packed lunches for school, easy weeknight dinners, or delicious foods for a celebration. With our recipes, you’ll NEVER need to miss out!

HERE ON OUR SITE, YOU CAN EXPECT:

Nourishing Recipes

that don’t require specialty ingredients or complicated techniques. Most recipes center around nourishing, naturally gluten-free foods (like proteins, fruits, veggies, etc.) with easy-to-find gluten-free swaps, when needed.

Meal Planning Support

to ease the daily dinner decision fatigue (Who’s NOT sick of planning dinners?!)

Family-Friendly Ideas

that work for real life, even if you’re working with a busy schedule, little kids or picky eaters.

Recipes That Feel Comforting & Familiar

for daily meals OR the special occasions in life–Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays, and more. No missing out because you’re gluten-free!

When people make my recipes, I want them to feel the joy of being alive, the joy of good food, and the joy of sharing it (with their families, friends, etc.!)

Healthy Homemade Jello

“This was great! I made it last night and was skeptical it would work just because of how simple it was… but it did! I was so excited — I grew up on box Jello but haven’t eaten it for years …now the possibilities seem endless!” – Virginia
