My name is Jennifer. I founded Made With Love Not Gluten Bakery after a lifetime of baking. I hold a bachelor's degree in health sciences from Lebanon Valley College and doctorate in physical therapy from Shenandoah University. Before opening the bakery in 2012, I was a licensed physical therapist.
MY GRANDMOTHER'S INFLUENCE
My grandmother inspired me to bake even as a little girl. She taught me everything she knew. Even today, people in my hometown remember her delicious saffron rolls and traditional English pasties. Grandma taught me to enjoy baking and that is the love that I put into everything I bake. Grandma always loved visiting my bakery, and I am thankful she got to see it grow before she passed away in 2016.
WHY I DO WHAT I DO
After I was diagnosed with Celiac disease in 2009, I was routinely disappointed by the taste, texture, and quality of the gluten free products that were available at the time. For the sake of my children, who are also gluten intolerant, I knew there was a better way. It was then that I began developing gluten free versions of the delicious recipes that Grandma gave me.
I work very hard to put all of myself into what I do and prepare consistently delicious gluten-free products for you and your family to enjoy.
