My momma always taught me the fastest way to a man

My momma always taught me the fastest way to a man’s heart is through his stomach... and University of Chicago did a study on aphrodisiac smells for men, and cinnamon rolls had the greatest effect than all of the other scents combined. So watch out ladies with this #grainfree Skillet Cinnamon Roll with Mascarpone Frosting. He’ll fall in love for sure!

The recipe is coming soon to the blog... stay tuned.

I started my little blog back in March 2011 as a way to compile gluten-free recipes and scratch the itch of food styling that I sorely missed from the photo studios I’d left.
It was a way to have my hands back in food, testing, styling, and now also learning the art of photography.
I thought maybe only my mom would read it.
I named my blog “kumquat”, because I love those little tiny citrus fruits, their simplicity and symmetry. And that it’s also a name you’d call someone you love.
There was no business concept behind it all, just a yearn for something pretty, for creativity, and for sharing of what was pioneering in gluten-free baking.
I could have never dreamed of the places it would take me. The friends that it would firmly plant in my life. And the joy that site would bring to my life and others... my little kumquat!

Thank you, too, for joining me on this journey. I hope I can continue to bring some inspiration, beauty, and mouthwatering gluten-free recipes to your world. And that you can spread it on to those you love, too!

Hot coffee, baked goods, and deep thoughts:

Every one of us is shadowed by an illusory person: a false self. This is the man I want myself to be but who cannot exist, because God does not know anything about him. And to be unknown of God is altogether too much privacy.
-Thomas Merton
