Gluten Free Cinnamon Roll Pancakes Man has wrestled with the age old question. This morning do I crave flaky cinnamon rolls topped with decadent cream cheese icing? Or is it fluffy buttery pancakes with classic maple syrup?The answer to that question, of course, is both. This week’s edition of Foodie Friday combines two of my favorite […]

This week’s edition of Foodie Friday : Gluten Free Roasted Chicken I love meals that are naturally gluten free and easy to make.

Gluten Free Butternut Squash Soup | Foodie Friday So, I changed my mind: Instead of Recipe Sunday, let’s do Foodie Friday! Just rolls off the tongue better 🙂 One of my favorite types of winter recipes are soups! After spending the day out in cold weather, there is something very comforting about a hot serving […]

 About the middle of last year, I decided to start a gluten free diet. At first, I didn’t want to talk about it.
