Hi, I’m Kymberley.

So happy you’re here!

Welcome to my gluten-free food, recipe, and “health-forward” #GfreeTogether community!

One of the things I’ve always loved most about food is one of the healthiest things about it—the connections food inspires through gatherings of people, whether gathered at our family table, church potluck, picnic, community dinner, or here on Substack. In the same way, that’s why I’m so happy that you’re here to join me so we can connect.

If you don’t already know me, I’m a Christian, wife, mom, grandma, student, celiac patient, quilter, creative gal and designer, passionate food lover, proud home cook, certified gluten-free practitioner, gut microbiome specialist, health and lifestyle coach, and the face behind GfreeDeliciously.com.

I began my gluten-free journey when everything I thought I knew about cooking and eating suddenly changed when I discovered I was celiac. So, I re-learned how to eat, cook, and navigate through life gluten-free – trusting God and His plan for me.

In 2017, I started my website with the aim of sharing reliable gluten-free recipes (made with affordable ingredients) that others could quickly reproduce in their kitchens without too much fuss. Foods that were re-imagined and prepared a bit differently to eliminate gluten.

My goal became - Food for All Food Lovers, Gathered At The Same Table.

Then, somewhere along the way, I became a self-taught Gfree lifestyle expert on [most] gluten-free things, with a personal and professional mission to find “the sweet spot” where delicious, gluten-free, and healthy meet.

As a person who has always loved cooking and creating delicious foods from scratch for myself and those I love, that intersection evolved into the joyful, flavorful place where I’ve taught myself and hundreds of others to thrive while being gluten-free - keeping us all feeling our best.

I live in what’s known as the Holyland of Central Wisconsin. All the recipes you’ll find here and on my website are gluten-free and inspired by the people and places I love most. Whenever possible, I cook with seasonal ingredients using whole, non-processed ingredients and foods – Making dishes suitable for everyday life, and yes, “all food lovers gathered at the same table.”

Gfree cooking, health, and wellness ARE my life. And this eNewsletter and my little corner of the internet is where I share what I’ve learned – Where my passion IS to nourish every day GfreeDeliciously!

After being diagnosed with celiac disease in 2011, I returned to school to educate myself about the disease. Along the way, I became a certified gluten-free practitioner, an accredited gut microbiome specialist, and a health and lifestyle coach.

Here, on Substack, I aim to inspire an appetite to live fully nourished - for better understanding and connecting with ourselves, our bodies, our families, and our faith. Sometimes, that means posts are recipe-heavy, and other times, I may focus on gut health or gluten-free nutrition, food history, food growers or makers, or how-tos. Other times, you’ll find this a gathering place of ideas and inspiration - jumping-off points that showcase everyday experiences and activities. Such as cooking, decorating, gardening, books, faith, devotions, and hospitality - all of which we can use to live fully nourished in the perfect online place for being #GfreeTogether!

It’s here, on Substack, where you can:

  • Have Fun Embracing Gluten-Free Food & Lifestyle Freedom.

  • Care for yourself. Connect with a private online community.

Why subscribe?

Subscribe for regular recipes and doses of inspiration to fill your body and soul. You’ll find even more in my notes, chat, and on my main website, along with all the latest in the “GfreeDeliciously Journal” (Secretly, I call it “Revelations” because it’s a timeline of everything, and you can’t live in a region called the Holylands without having a few revelations now and then). I’m also on Pinterest.

When you subscribe to this Substack, you won't have to worry about missing anything. Every new installment of my eNewsletter and notices about the latest recipes go directly to your inbox with a more personal touch—including all the details, guides, info, links, and topics I don’t share anywhere else. It’s a conversation that I hope feels like you’re sitting across the kitchen table from me.

At your own pace

The online world is fast. This eNews is where I hope we can all slow down to read words and intentions meant to nourish and grow together.

A free subscriber occasionally gets an article or a custom recipe to enjoy at their own pace. Those who wish to support us with a paid subscription will receive monthly emails, including VIP access to all curated guides, recipes, Q&As, personal essays, and more.

With a paid subscription, you’ll also get full ongoing access to my entire archive of recipes and healthy living strategies, trustworthy information on gut health, gluten-free diet, and nutrition topics, a few stories, and a bit of my (sometimes wacky) personality mixed in along the way.

For those interested in a Lifetime All-Access Membership (one-time payment), you'll also get direct email access to me, 90 days of 1:1 coaching, and significant savings on future coaching, books, cook-alongs, online workshops, and bespoke products.

Join the #GfreeTogether Community

Be part of this community of people who share your interest in gluten-free health, food, and well-being.

For less than the cost of a latte each week, as an annual subscriber, you also get insider access to me and years of gluten-free knowledge, advance notice on classes or workshops, upcoming book releases, and even a few bespoke products that may interest you.

Lastly, About Our Paywall

While I don’t relish the idea of paywalls, I do want to promote subscriptions. Because GfreeDeliciously | Live Fully Nourished aims to help everyone improve their gluten-free life and achieve optimal gut health one subscriber at a time, I’ve set monthly recipe and article posts for free subscribers to be available for a reasonable time after publication. After that, the content is paywalled in an archive that is only accessible to paid subscribers.

So, if you find value in accessing all of the recipes and other posts at all times, I need you to do something extraordinary: Support this purposeful work by becoming a paid subscriber. Can you help?

                           Or, leave a donation in any amount to show your support.

Thanks for stopping by - I’m so happy you’re here!
