In an effort to "never turn down dessert," Grimes recently wrote a new cookbook featuring over 100 gluten-free dessert recipes, which hits stands on March 26.

"Shortly after my second son was born, I began sharing recipes online that struck the perfect balance of fitting my family’s dietary needs but also satisfying our tastebuds," she said.
Grimes said her family’s dietary needs include a low glycemic menu — meaning foods must help those who struggle with regulating their blood sugar.
