Carol Kicinski is the founder of Simply… Gluten-Free and is a recipe developer, TV chef, cookbook author, and magazine editor-in-chief. She has celebrated the abundance of the gluten-free lifestyle for 20 years. Her recipes are not just “good for gluten-free” but are just plain good, period.

Carolanne LeBlanc freely admits that she is an un-diagnosed Celiac. Getting diagnosed with Wheat Allergies over 30 years ago was only the beginning in a lifelong journey of understanding and discovery. A very social person herself, Carolanne manages a web-based Support Group called “Gluten-Free in Florida” designed specifically for people living or visiting in the Sunshine State. The group gives people across the state an opportunity to talk to others, exchange recipes, share information and education as well as find support. She also maintains an active web-page with contacts around the Globe and sees first-hand how Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance can affect all kinds of social interactions, making it difficult to navigate even the most common gatherings. Carolanne is a big advocate for taking control of our own health, listening to our body’s needs, speaking up for ourselves, and of course attending local Support Groups.

Her positive approach to the journey of dietary change makes each event a celebration of community wherever they are held.
