Your GF Chef Creating delicious and beautiful custom gluten-free sugar cookies on the north side of Chicago. Hi! Vegan cookies available upon request as well!

I'm Aimee, a passionate home chef on the north side of Chicago and mom of teenage twins. When my son was first diagnosed with Celiac Disease, it was a major adjustment for our whole family. I wanted him to feel as “normal” as possible so I found ways to adapt his favorite foods into gluten-free recipes. I also starting packing him his own special gluten-free treats for class celebrations, birthday parties, and other events so he wouldn't feel left out. While it solved his immediate problem, it inspired me to create an even better solution to help even more people. Through Your GF Chef I want to help individuals with gluten-free and other dietary restrictions enjoy life's celebrations. Given that about 10% of Americans follow a gluten-free diet, there's a strong chance that someone at your next event would be thrilled to find a safe, delicious, and beautiful GF treat on the dessert table! Let's talk about how I can help you include custom-decorated gluten and dairy-free sugar cookies in your next event!

I’m perplexed by the Michigan mascot. Called a wolverine. Looks a lot like a bear. Wears a sailor hat. 🤷‍♀️Whatever it is, it’s quite cute and was fun to make! Go Blue!

You may have noticed I haven’t posted much these last few weeks and that’s because I’ve been on a little break from the kitchen! I had a hiking adventure with friends, moved two kids back into their college apartments, visited my family in NJ, and enjoyed some of Chicago’s summer social scene. I’ll be back to my baking next week, so be sure to get those fall orders in soon!

With all the cyclospora stuff going down, I just want to remind everyone that sugar cookies - even those that look like lettuce - are perfectly safe to eat. So make the healthy choice and eat more cookies! 😉
