My Highlights from gfe and All Gluten-Free Desserts
~ On gfe:
We ate one of our favorite gfe comfort food dinners last week, these Homemade Sloppy Joes. Mr. GFE likes cheese on his.
~ On All Gluten-Free Desserts:
Blueberry Breakfast Bread from Tasty Eats At Home ~ I think everyone is starting to sense the coming of the end of summer. Seize the season and pick up some fresh blueberries so you can make this delightful Blueberry Breakfast Bread from Alta. It’s gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free, and refined sugar-free, and the recipe makes a small “mini” loaf of bread versus the larger, normal sized loaf. Love all that!
Stuffed French Toast Muffins from A Few Shortcuts ~ I don’t know anyone who can resist French Toast so this idea from Amanda for French Toast Muffins is wonderful. Add in the stuffing factor and it’s pure genius!
The Most Popular Post on Gluten-Free Wednesdays Last Week
Ooey Gooey Gluten Free Brownies from Janice Amee’s Gluten Free ~ Oh my goodness, how incredible these brownies look! That. Is. All.
~ My GFW Post “Picks” from Last Week
~ Raspberry Sweet Rolls from Live Free, Gluten Free ~
When I shared Paula’s recipe on my gfe Facebook page, it got a LOT of attention. To be honest, I think her Raspberry Sweet Rolls win for presentation alone (I mean look at that pretty pink icing), but they’re only a slight variation of her original cinnamon rolls that she reports are incredible and incredibly easy to make. One reader who made them called them “awesome.” Add in raspberry jam and these are not only especially pretty, they’re also especially delicious!
~ Homemade Soy-Free Corn-Free Barbecue (BBQ) Sauce from Simply 123 Allergy Free ~ Phyllis’ homemade sauce is naturally gluten free, soy free, and corn free. I just spent a considerable amount of time looking online for a barbecue sauce that met all those criteria. I finally found one, but I’m going to give Phyllis’ easy recipe a go instead of ordering next time!

Tia @ Tia's Kitchen says
Since you made a comment about most of my posts being muffins or smoothies, I am going to link up a muffin recipe AND a smoothie recipe. But I will throw in a dessert hummus recipe to keep you guessing. 😉
Thanks for hosting, Shirley!
Shirley says
Hey Tia–I just realized that I never replied to all these comments when I was under the weather last week. 🙁 Your comment literally made me LOL! Way to get back at me, girl. 😉 But I love that you went for a trifecta with something new thrown in! I’ve had dessert bean dip made from white beans so I assume that your Strawberry Hummus Dip would be similar in concept. It looks pretty amazing!

Pat @ Elegantly, Gluten-Free says
Hi Shirley –
Those brownies certainly did get my attention, but…the first recipe I want to try is actually the barbecue sauce that’s GF, soy-free and corn-free. I haven’t had nearly enough BBQ options lately 🙂
My link today is Moussaka, a traditional Greek casserole of beef or lamb layered with eggplant, tomatoes and potatoes and then topped with a cheesy white sauce.
I hope you have a terrific week!
Pat
Shirley says
Hi Pat–My apologies for just replying. I love that barbecue sauce option, too, and am looking forward to trying it soon. Perhaps on barbecued chicken. Yum. And yum on your moussaka as well. Mr. GFE loves eggplant and I love all the ingredients in your casserole, and especially the golden top. 🙂 Thanks for linking up to GFW!

Audrey @ Gluten-Free Vegan Love says
Wow, those Raspberry Sweet Rolls are staring me in the face on every blog I visit! They are so gorgeous. I hope I can figure out a way to make them egg-free somehow 🙂
Sharing my {Refined Sugar-Free} Vegan Gluten-Free Triple Chocolate Banana Bread this week.
Shirley says
Hi Audrey–Yes, those Raspberry Sweet Rolls got a lot of blog “air time,” didn’t they? All well deserved, of course. My friend Heidi of Adventures of a Gluten-Free Mom has a terrific gluten-free, vegan Cinnamon Roll recipe, so I’d check that out for inspiration!
Your Banana Bread looks amazing. Adding one “dose” of chocolate to banana bread gets folks excited, but three?! You know how to do it, girl! I can’t wait to include this recipe in an upcoming Banana Bread roundup on All Gluten-Free Desserts. 🙂
Thanks for faithfully linking up each week!

Gayle says
I am 24 with allergies. I NEED HELP! I need a bread machine recipe that contains no wheat, no corn, no eggs, no potatoes, no soy. I am not having any luck and I need some bread. And pizza crust. Can you please help me???
Shirley says
Hi Gayle–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 Here are some recipe roundup posts that are part of some series here on gfe that you might find helpful. Here’s the first post of A Bountiful Bread Basket series that focuses on bread loaves. There are links to the rest of the posts in the bread series. Here’s the first part of the pizza series. The recipes in these posts are labeled as far as their allergen-free status. Hope that helps some! Please know that you are not alone! Many of us are dealing with food intolerances. It’s definitely overwhelming at first, but gets better over time.
