Working from her tiny farm outside Seattle, Howard grew up in Virginia at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and has moved around quite a bit before settling down.

“I fell in love with baking about ten years ago,” she recalled in an interview with le buzz. “I started baking insane cakes after I had my son, and friends started asking for the recipes. When we moved to Seattle, my friend Holly of The Modern Proper encouraged me to start posting the recipes somewhere, so I did! I really had no expectations, it was just something fun for me to do,” she notes.

Now with a growing fanbase online, Howard shares her recipes on both her blog Oh Honey Bakes, and accompanying Instagram page.

“I started working with companies about six months after starting the blog,” she says. “I remember being SO elated, I couldn’t believe someone was going to pay me to bake things and take pictures of them. I’m honestly still so honored to work with the amazing companies I partner with.”

Recent recipes include a gluten-free apple cinnamon cake and a full campfire meal that will have you drooling.

“I transitioned to a gluten-free diet about a year ago, and while I still love over-the-top cakes, I want to create recipes for every day as well as for special occasions,” says Howard.

Kinder Bueno Cheesecake

If you’ve ever wished it was possible to eat Kinder chocolates in a cheesecake form—this recipe will rock your world. In addition to delicious Kinder chocolate, the list of ingredients also includes Schar Melto gluten-free chocolate bars, reminiscent of Kinder Bueno.

Crunchie Cheesecake

This cheesecake idea is perfect for everyone who enjoys crunchy treats. It owes its specific taste and texture to Crunchie bars, which are the main ingredient in the base and filling of this cake, in addition to being used as a topping.

Mint Cheesecake

If you want to take a break from chocolate bars and try something a little bit different, mint cheesecake will be your cup of tea. It owes its vibrant shade to green food coloring, but peppermint extract and mint chocolate Aero bubbles still make it pretty refreshing.

Her website and accompanying social media pages—branded as NOBREAD (with all caps)—offer the best restaurant and eatery reviews, recipes, and other tips and tricks dedicated to the gluten-free lifestyle.

“There is a greater purpose to NOBREAD,” explains Cogan on her website. “It is a message I hope to really start emphasizing going forward. YOU CAN STILL LIVE A HEALTHY, HAPPY (and gluten-free) life while having FUN. Let loose and eat those crispy gluten-free French fries when you are out (in moderation), and at your next meal, stick with something home-cooked and simply prepared.”

And with almost 200k fans on Instagram alone, people are clearly taking note. Cogan has also been featured in the Wall Street Journal, Buzzfeed, and Tasting Table, as well as hosted for CBS’s This is LA and appeared on The Dr. Oz Show and NBC’s New York Live—meaning, her message isn’t just reserved for a fringe following.

Cucumber Subs

To make any kind of sub sandwich with cucumbers, first start by peeling a cucumber just a bit, you still want some skin on for better grip and nutrition. Then, cut in lengthwise and scoop out the seeds. Now you’re ready to fill it with whatever your favorite sandwich is and know that you’re already getting in more veggies just because of the “bread”!

Mozeralla Pesto

Spread some pesto on the insides of both halves, and fill with tomato slices and mozzarella balls!

Turkey And Cheese

Spread some mayo on one half of the cucumber and mustard on the other half. Then, fill one half with slices of turkey and the other with slices of cheddar.

Quinoa For Oats

Quinoa is really a seed not a grain, which means it is completely gluten-free. You can really use it at any time of the day; instead of oatmeal at breakfast, mixed into black bean burgers, or eaten in a salad.

Cloud Bread

This “bread” actually doesn’t use any type of flour, only eggs! All you have to do it separate the yolks and whites, mix together the yolks with salt and either cream cheese or another dairy product. Then, whip the egg whites until peaks form, fold in the yolks, put dollops of the mixture onto a cookie sheet, and bake!
