Hi there, and thanks for stopping by! 
I’m Celeste, the owner of Life After Wheat. I have always loved spending time in the kitchen, and over the past 8 years have been perfecting the art of gluten free baking and cooking.
When my husband was diagnosed with multiple food allergies, I was so disappointed by the options and didn’t want him to miss out. Although there are a lot more options now, I know that so many of you feel the same way and wish that you could enjoy your favorites again.
That’s why I created Life After Wheat, because I love helping people discover just how good gluten free food can taste by sharing my family’s favorite recipes and products!
If you’re feeling discouraged by gluten free living, shopping, or baking, I hope you stay a while and find some helpful information that makes life just a little bit easier and tastier too 🙂
Here are my most popular gluten free recipes to get you started:

July 10, 2015 at 11:46 amHi Celeste! Do you ever use almond flour for baking?
LifeAfterWheat
July 10, 2015 at 2:18 pmDebra I don’t use almond flour very often. I sometimes add a touch to muffins or cookies but prefer the texture other types of flours provide. Thanks for stopping by!

July 23, 2017 at 7:57 amHi Celeste, just discovered your blog via Yummly. Looking to make some gf pancakes for my family this Sunday morn (eldest daughter and husband have celiac) and your “diner pancakes” caught my eye. I’ve saved your site. Glad I found you!

January 7, 2019 at 2:57 pmI wanted to know what I should do to make breads with active yeast instead of instant yeast. I do not have instant yeast nor have I ever heard of it. Do I use 1 Tab of active yeast in the !/2 cup + 2 Tab of warm water? I am not much of a bread maker and would love to try your gluten free crescent rolls for my son who has celiac. Thanks for your help. Jacqueline

January 7, 2019 at 9:03 pmYou can use them interchangeably, but the bread might take a little longer to rise. Be sure it’s in a warm place, like an oven that has been preheated to 110 and then turned off. Happy baking! -Celeste

February 5, 2019 at 11:00 amI just stumbled on your blog through Pinterest and I’m so glad I did! I have been gluten free for 10 years now and am finally getting confident enough to try making bread so I’m excited to try your recipes! I was wondering if you’ve tried Carol’s all purpose gluten free flour blend? I have been using it in other recipes for a few years now and I love it. I’ve noticed other bloggers saying no flour is an exact cup for cup substitute but (other than actual bread) I have not found a non gf recipe that hasn’t been successful in a 1:1 substitution with that particular blend. My non celiac friends and family can’t ever tell the difference.

February 5, 2019 at 1:18 pmHello Amy! I am so happy you’re here and have found a few recipes to try. I haven’t heard of that flour blend, I’ll have to keep my eye out for it. Thanks for sharing the info! My go-to for gluten free flour is Better Batter and it works similarly, I find I can use it in just about any recipe. Happy baking! -Celeste

April 13, 2019 at 3:31 pmI used to love Burger King’s Çroissanwiches. Alas, I am now gluten free as is my husband. Is there a gluten free croissant recipe, so I can enjoy Çroissanwiches again?

April 16, 2019 at 8:37 amHi Sara, I have a crescent roll recipe that is very popular: https://thereislifeafterwheat.com/2014/11/perfect-dinner-rolls/

June 30, 2019 at 1:48 pmAfter being GF for many years, why are you still buying flour blends and baked goods instead of making your own which, as is common accepted knowledge, homemade is better? That’s the first thing I did upon being diagnosed. I have never bought anything I can make myself. I have great success with everything. My multigrain bread is awesome!
thereislifeafterwheat@gmail.com
July 2, 2019 at 2:18 pmGreat question Cherie! I like to test my recipes with a variety of gluten free flour options to make it easy for readers like you to make the recipes with whatever you might have on hand. I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying delicious multigrain bread that is gluten free, there is nothing better! Most recipes work well with the homemade flour blend that I developed, which you can find here: https://thereislifeafterwheat.com/2014/10/gluten-free-flour-mix/

November 26, 2019 at 5:23 pmI want to try and make the dairy free optional GF rolls can I substitute flax seed for the egg and can I use almond milk instead of the powdered milk??
thereislifeafterwheat@gmail.com
November 27, 2019 at 8:05 amI haven’t tried using a flax egg, but I am guessing it would work – especially if you are using Better Batter, Namaste, or GF Jules flour. Use powdered coconut milk or omit the powdered milk all together.

August 24, 2019 at 3:05 pmOmw. I have been GF for 8 years and tried lots of biscuit recipes and wasted a lot of money. Your 4 ingredient recipe is delish. Thank you so much for this!

August 27, 2019 at 4:57 pmSO glad you enjoyed the biscuits Chantelle!! Thank you for taking the time to come back and let me know 🙂 -Celeste
