May is Celiac Disease Awareness Month, a month dedicated to bringing awareness to celiac disease in an effort to increase diagnosis rates, and fundraise for research efforts so we can work towards a cure.
In 2018, we launched our at-home celiac disease screening test, and since then, have been dedicated to providing solutions for the celiac disease community.
Food Matters!
Once diagnosed, a patient with celiac disease is prescribed to eat a strict gluten-free diet. Going gluten-free can make an immense difference in health and overall well-being. But it’s not always easy to be gluten-free! It’s likely that you’ll be spending a lot more time researching recipe ideas and ingredient substitutions rather than in the actual kitchen.
We’re here to help, and have rounded up some of our delicious gluten-free recipes from our community, which include some exceptional nutritionists and registered dieticians.

Gluten-Free Lemon Herb Savory Cheesecake
By Anne Danahy, RD
Ingredients:
- 12 gluten-free crackers
- ¼ cup walnut halves, toasted
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 4 oz. Neufchatel cheese
- ½ cup part skim ricotta cheese
- ¼ cup soft goat cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- Pinch of salt
- Zest of 1 medium lemon (about 1 Tbsp)
- 1 Tbsp chives, minced
- 1 Tbsp fresh parsley, minced
- 1 Tbsp fresh thyme leaves, minced
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees and wrap the outside of a 4 ½ inch springform pan with heavy duty foil. Spray the inside of the pan with cooking spray.
- In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the chopping blade, process crackers and walnuts until they are crumbs. Add olive oil and pulse a few more times to combine.
- Press the crumb mixture into the bottom of the springform pan.
- Bake the crust until golden, about 5-8 minutes.
- Wipe down the bowl of the food processor, and process the neufchâtel, ricotta, and goat cheese. Add egg, sugar, salt and lemon, and process until smooth.
- Mix in the herbs by hand.
- Pour cheese mixture into the prepared crust.
- Place the springform pan into a larger roasting pan, and pour hot water in to the pan to come halfway up the sides of the springform pan.
- Bake the cheesecake for 40 minutes, or until the edges are golden. The center will move slightly when gently shaken, but it will firm up as it cools.
- Transfer the cake to a wire rack and let cool for one hour. Refrigerate until cold, at least 3 hours, and up to 2 days.
- Before serving, gently remove the cheesecake from the springform pan by sliding a thin spatula under the crust, and transfer to a serving plate. Serve cold or at room temperature, with gluten free crackers and fruit, if desired.
