100% Gluten-free, Celiac-safe Cooking for the Lake Champlain Islands & Beyond
Welcome to Kim’s Tiny Kitchen!
Hello, Friends!
I thought I would be back for a couple of weeks in December, but due to the holidays and some other factors, I will be taking December off.
Things in the works: bagels, biscuits, & bread (oh my!); new recipes; and trying to get my kitchen licensed, which would open a lot of avenues.
I hope this month is nice and easy for you -- shop local, enjoy time with your friends and family, and have a wonderful holiday season. I'll see you in January!
In my tiny kitchen on Isle La Motte, big things happen.
After years of being a picky eater and then navigating a diagnosis of celiac disease, I learned how to make healthy(er) food taste amazing. Now I want to share my cooking with others!
Every meal is celiac-safe, made from real ingredients, and designed to bring comfort, joy and flavor back to the table. I make delicious food that will love you as much as you love it; all with more plants, less calories, no gluten, and all the taste!

The wonder of goat & sheep dairy
I have been extremely lactose intolerant since I was little (back then it was called being “allergic to milk”). When I finally decided to stop the agony and cut it out of my diet after my celiac diagnosis, my doctor mentioned that goat and sheep dairy are much more digestible and could be an alternative for me. He was right. Life brightened.
And it’s not just chevre! I buy brands of hard goat cheese that are almost indistinguishable from their cow cheese counterparts, including cheddar, mozzarella and gouda. They are a bit pricier, which is why some of my offerings with cheese are bit more expensive. I think it’s worth it!
Here are some facts about goat & sheep dairy that may surprise you:
goat and sheep dairy have smaller fat globules and are easier for digestive enzymes to process
they form softer, more cohesive protein curds in the stomach which allows for faster digestion
the main protein in goat and sheep dairy is A2-beta-casein, vs cow milk which has both A1 and A2-beta-casein. The A1 protein can break down into a peptide called BCM-7, which can cause digestive issues.
goat and sheep dairy contain less lactose than cow milk
both are higher in calcium than cow milk and very rich in vitamins
goat milk is higher in medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs), with are more easily absorbed and used for energy than the long-chain fatty acids found in cow milk
goat milk contains prebiotics that can help promote a health cut microbiome

When I receive your order I will send you a confirmation email with your total, which will include my Venmo information. All meals must be paid for by Sunday evening at 8PM (sometimes this will be Saturday by 8PM). At the moment, I can only accept Venmo. I am working on alternative payment methods!

Food will be chilled after prep, and will need reheating at home.
Kim’s Tiny Kitchen is in the little striped tiny house, almost all the way down New Rd. Park in the driveway and come to the front door and knock, old fashioned style.

Please note: I take utmost care when prepping your food to assure safety and quality, but please understand my kitchen is unlicensed. By purchasing my food you acknowledge and accept the risk that comes with that. My home is 100% gluten free with the exception of one cat product that lives away from the kitchen. I am a strict, symptomatic celiac and therefore do not use any products unless they are certified gluten free or are safe in their natural form and pass a gluten-free bar code scan test or their website states they are gluten-free (ie. single ingredient spices). I do use nuts, soy, goat & sheep dairy, and eggs in my food. I will indicate if any of those are in the dishes in the ingredients.
