Mile High Mitts is here to provide simple baking recipes, to empower you to feel confident about your baking, at any altitude!<\/strong><\/p>\n Mile High Mitts started in May of 2018 to share my recipes with other people who wanted to bake something, but faced the challenge of baking in high altitude and\/or baking gluten-free. <\/span>Baking doesn\u2019t have to be hard<\/strong>, even at high altitude.

I was raised on home-cooked meals, and my Mom was often baking something from scratch.<\/span><\/p>\n But after some health issues started in high school, I started looking for ways to eat healthier so I could feel better. As I eliminated different foods from my diet during my search, I learned more about gluten intolerance decided to try a gluten-free diet. After a week of eating gluten-free, my health changed drastically, and I\u2019ve never looked back.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019ve embraced a gluten-free diet as a challenge. <\/i><\/strong>Don’t think you can make a delicious gluten-free pie crust<\/a>? It’s possible. What about gluten-free cinnamon rolls<\/a>? Yes, you can make those too. All it takes is a little practice and a few tricks up your sleeves.<\/p>\n I’m here to save you from all the dirty work.<\/strong> I love sharing gluten-free recipes that you can count on, including healthy breakfast recipes, fun drinks, and decadent desserts.<\/p>\n If I had to play favorites, I’d recommend checking out my:<\/strong><\/p>\n While I grew up as an Army brat, Colorado has been my home for over ten years now and I am totally in love with it. My husband is a Colorado native, my bearded mountain man, and is what I like to call my Swiss army knife. If you need anything, he\u2019s got your back<\/em>!<\/span><\/p>\n I have two kids, under 6, who keep me pretty busy on the day-to-day. My favorite things include eating (duh!), baking, reading, puns, sarcasm, hiking, hot chocolate, margaritas and movies.<\/span><\/p>\n Thank you for checking out Mile High Mitts. I hope you and your family enjoy my recipes as much as my family does!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Chelsea<\/p>\n \n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI\u2019m Chelsea, the Mom wearing the Mitts.<\/b><\/h3>\n
