Welcome to Gluten-Free Wednesdays (GFW), the weekly blog carnival that I co-host with my friends Linda of The Gluten-Free Homemaker and Lynn of Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. This event is all about gluten-free food ideas. If you’re a blogger linking up, please know that your post will appear on all three of our blogs via the linky.
My Highlights from gfe and All Gluten-Free Desserts
~ On gfe:
Gluten-Free EXTREME (GFE) “Library Clean-out” Cookbook Giveaway #1 ~ I’m cleaning out my support group library! We have limited room so many terrific cookbooks and resource books that have not been checked very much are being given away. This is the first giveaway on gfe and it ends tomorrow, Wednesday, July 16, at midnight. Click the link above to visit the post and throw your name in the hat. Stay tuned for one or two more of these Library Clean-Out giveaways.
Meat Lover’s Chicken ~ I “re-invented” this recipe to be gluten free and dairy free (and actually “more free”). It contains only five ingredients, but is really easy to make and full of flavor. Bonus … you can cook the recipe in your oven or your slow cooker!
~ On All Gluten-Free Desserts:
Last week I shared the Top 20 Gluten-Free Desserts for June. I loved that this Top 20 included a variety of recipes and both old and new favorites from All Gluten-Free Desserts. Here are the top 5 below, but go check them all out!
Plus, I shared Gluten-Free Revel Bars from My Gluten-Free Kitchen. Are you familiar with Revel Bars? If not, all you need to know is that Revel Bars Mean Peanut Butter Oatmeal Fudge Bars that look like this! You can see how good they are, right?
The Most Popular Post on Gluten-Free Wednesdays Last Week
We had 62 great entries last week and there was a tie for “most clicked on recipe!
~ Sugar-Free Carrot Cake from Whole Food Mom on a Budget ~ Carrot Cake is loved by so many. This recipe is sugar free and low carb and comes from The Sweeter Side of Candida: Desserts For the Holidays, Special Occasions, & Everyday Sweet Treats by Paula Miller and Sarah Ives.
~ Gluten-Free Hot Dog or Hamburger Bun Rolls from The Baking Beauties ~ As soon as I saw this new recipe from Jeanine, I had to add it to Part 5 of my Bountiful Bread Basket series, Top 30 Gluten-Free Best Hamburger, Hot Dog, and Sandwich Roll Recipes. I love all our wonderful gluten-free bloggers creating such great recipes so we can enjoy everything that our gluten-full family members and friends enjoy. No deprivation! So I wasn’t surprised that the GFW readers were just as excited as I was about this addition from Jeanine.

~ Honey Sriracha Chicken Bowl or Honey Sriracha Mushroom Bowl from ChaCha’s Gluten-Free Kitchen ~ I love that Kathryn gives you both a meat-based dish and a vegetarian dish as the “receptacle” for her super simple and super good Honey Sriracha Sauce!

~ Paleo and Vegan “Egg” Rolls from Pacific Wanderlust ~ I’ve been thinking about this recipe ever since I saw Andrea’s beautiful photo. I just looked at her photo again (obviously) and her recipe, and I must make these babies soon. Mr. GFE loves egg rolls, so he will be thrilled, too!

I just love this weekly blog carnival with so many amazing gluten free choices. I can make my menu for the week from this linky. I really want to try the hamburger and hot dog rolls. Thanks for hosting.
That’s true, Judee! We all could make our weekly menu from the choices here. 😉 Your Asian Peanut Slaw looks tasty. It would be a great side for when you make the hamburger or hot dog rolls and fill them. 🙂
