Hi there! Welcome to my Blog! My name is Carly, and I live in Northern Utah with my Hubby and daughter. I have a deep love for gardening and enjoy creating delicious gluten-free dishes. Being outdoors is where I thrive, whether it’s going on adventures, hiking, camping, or exploring new places while traveling. Spending quality time with my family is something I cherish dearly. When I’m not busy with outdoor activities or family time, you can find me decorating and indulging in some retail therapy. I absolutely adore anything that blooms, and I’m a big fan of reading!
When my daughter went off to Kindergarten, I realized that it was the perfect time for me to pursue my passion for gardening. So, I took a leap of faith and decided to go back to school.
As I pursued my Horticulture degree, I had the opportunity to do what I truly love. It’s an incredible feeling to cultivate and nurture plants, watching them thrive and contribute to the beauty of our surroundings.
I consider myself fortunate to have had the chance to work for one of my former professors in plant production. It has been an invaluable experience, allowing me to gain hands-on knowledge and enhance my skills in the field. Additionally, I have also had the privilege of working on the grounds of one of the breathtaking LDS Temples, where I have witnessed the power of nature and spirituality intertwine in perfect harmony.
Every day in the world of gardening brings new discoveries and challenges, but it’s a journey that fills me with joy and purpose. I look forward to continuing to expand my knowledge and skills, and to share the wonders of nature through my passion for gardening.
In 2012, I received the diagnosis of Celiac disease and Hashimoto’s disease. This marked the beginning of my journey into the gluten-free world. I have spent countless hours testing different recipes, discarding those that were unappetizing. As a way to create a food diary of our favorite dishes, I started sharing my recipes. Thankfully, the gluten-free market has expanded, offering numerous alternatives. I am happy to report that no one can tell that my meals are gluten-free!
I am thrilled to show you just how easy and enjoyable gardening can be, while also highlighting the wonderful experience of preparing garden-to-table meals. Along the way, I’ll be sure to include a few gluten-free recipes that will surely delight your taste buds. Get ready for a fantastic adventure!
