GFW: Gluten-Free Banana Bread, Perfect Graham Crackers, and Mexican Chocolate Popsicles

Welcome to Gluten-Free Wednesdays (GFW) once again! This past week of GFW brought us gluten-free recipes for Banana Bread, Graham Crackers, Mexican Popsicles, and much more!

GFW is the weekly blog carnival event that I co-host with my friends Linda of The Gluten-Free Homemaker and Lynn of Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. If you’re new to GFW, the main thing that you need to know is that GFW is all about gluten-free food-related posts.

You’ll find a wonderful mix of terrific posts linked up each and every week. If you’re still undecided about what to make for your 4^th of July celebration, you’re sure to find some ideas here. We’ve always enjoyed the 4^th for patriotic reasons and the fun events that take place, but we have really looked forward to it the last couple of years as it’s one of the holidays for which Son always comes home. We’ll all be together camping at our mountain property on the Shenandoah River again this year and we truly treasure that time!

I hope you all have a glorious 4^th of July weekend if you’re in the U.S.! And belated Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends!

Now let’s get to GFW . . .
