Gluten Free Cinnamon Coffee Cake

Cooking classes taught by friends, sailing adventures, kayak trips, fishing excursions, outdoor dueling piano concerts, boat rides, doggie swims, winery brunches, breweries visits, family cooking sessions, water skiing and lots of family time --- these are the days we've been dreaming of. ⛵️🎣🐶🍷🎹🎶

Our weeks spent on Johnson's Island are exciting, amazing, fun and exhausting -- all at the same time.😅 I did a little bit of baking while I was there - mostly biscotti.  There is never any shortage of great food --- and wine --- when we visit my family.  We actually kicked off our trip with a surf and turf dinner - thanks to my brother who picked up lobsters in Massachusetts and drove them to Ohio.🦞  

Taking a break from work is great - but I also love my "day job" so getting back to work isn't a chore.  I am so lucky to be able to share my love of cooking and baked treats with my community.  My Gluten Free clients are some of my most grateful and appreciative people that I bake for.  Finding new, delicious gluten free recipes for my special diet customers has become a new hobby of mine.  This gluten free cinnamon coffee cake is amazing and if you are sensitive to gluten --- you need to try this.😋
