In my experience there are three reasons why bloggers “go dark”and don’t post: a) they burn out, b) they simply get too busy, or c) they (temporarily) focus on stepping away from a blog to live everyday life. Of course there’s some overlap across those reasons. There certainly has been for us.
It’s amazing to think we last posted to No Gluten, No Problem on New Year’s Day (an awesome recipe for struffoli, if you missed it). After that, life shifted pretty dramatically for us. We welcomed our third child, Timothy, into the world. We probably owe you all a mea culpa for not taking the time to at least write a short post saying that much. But we’ve been focused almost exclusively on spending time as a family, and we hope you’ll forgive our “radio silence” on that account.
We haven’t stepped away from the gluten-free world entirely, mind you. Over the course of the past month and a half, we finished final revisions on the manuscript for Gluten-Free Family Favorites, which comes out later this year. And we wrapped up photography for the book, too. The photo just above is one of our new author photos—taken just last week, because we wanted to wait for Timothy’s arrival so he could be in the picture as well.
And we’ve been developing new recipes, including a bacon-bourbon-peppercorn beef entree and a deliciously moist fig bread. Those will be coming soon here on the blog.
We’re glad to be back, and thanks for your patience as we’ve entered the next phase of our gluten-free family’s life. Happy Valentine’s Day!

What a beautiful family photo!
Congratulations once again! He looks like he’s growing well. Glad you’re back. I agree some people put so much pressure on themselves to blog almost daily and that with a new recipe! Wayyyy too much when you have a family as well. Love your recipes and look forward to the next one! Thanks again for all you do!
Congratulations!!! You have such a beautiful family! Looking forward to your new book. 🙂
I was thinking “haven’t seen a post from No Gluten No Problem in a while and was about to check my subscription to make sure it was still active. 🙂 Now I understand!
Congratulations on your new edition. He’s adorable and your family is lovely. I am still forever grateful for your rocking pie dough recipe. As I tell you all the time, you guys saved Thanksgiving for me! lol
Best wishes to you all. I look forward to your new book.

Congratulations! Great photo of the family, look forward to you being back and the new book when it’s out.
Such a lovely, growing family! Like the beard, too 😀 Can’t wait for the new recipes (I finally found figs)and am so looking forward to the new book that I have already been scouting potential points of sale. Gotta be first you know. Glad you’re back – no pressure! Lovely family comes first.
Thank you all for the congratulations. We are loving life with our new little one and his big sisters could not be happier. We are excited to get back into the swing of things and to get back into the kitchen!!
