About me

Hi! I’m Courtney.

Welcome to Baking Through My TBR, where fantasy worlds, cozy stories, and gluten-free baking come together.

I’ve always found comfort in two things: getting lost in a good book and spending time in the kitchen. My grandfather was a baker, and before he passed away, he shared everything he could with me—from techniques and recipes to the joy that comes from creating something delicious for the people you love.

Years later, after being diagnosed with celiac disease, I had to relearn many of those recipes and find new ways to make them safe for me to enjoy. What started as a challenge became a passion for creating gluten-free treats that are every bit as magical as the originals.

As an avid fantasy reader, audiobook enthusiast, and book club leader, I spend a lot of my time wandering through fictional worlds. So I thought—why not bake my way through them?

Here you’ll find gluten-free recipes inspired by the books on my shelves, cozy baking adventures, and a little bit of bookish magic along the way. Whether I’m recreating a pastry from a favorite fantasy novel or putting my own twist on a treat inspired by a beloved character, every recipe comes with a story.

So grab a book, pour yourself something cozy, and join me as we bake our way through the TBR—one delicious chapter at a time.
