Welcome to Gluten-Free Wednesdays (GFW), the weekly blog carnival that I co-host with my friends Linda of Gluten-Free Homemaker (sadly, this site is no longer active) and Lynn of Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. Update: This week the highlights were gluten-free grab-and-go breakfast bars plus, monster bars, a giveaway of a new Vitamix, and a pear galette. Check them out!
I’ve actually been doing some baking the last week and will be sharing a new recipe with you soon. Well, it’s a “new-old” recipe. One that my family has been enjoying for special occasions for years, but now I have the gluten-free version just the way I want it. Yes, I’m a tease! Soon, folks, soon.
My Highlights from gfe
~ Vitamix S30 Personal High Performance Blender Review & Giveaway ~ I love this new model from Vitamix! It has so many great features including the fact that it takes up little room in the counter and even fits under the upper kitchen cabinets. Read more and enter the giveaway to win it for yourself! The giveaway ends soon.

Most Popular on GFW Last Week: Gluten-Free Breakfast Bars (Grab and Go!)
~ Gluten-Free Breakfast Bars (Grab and Go!) from Allergy-Free Test Kitchen was clicked on the most this past week. Peggy said she wanted a healthy breakfast protein bar that she could bake week in and week out. She cuts individual bars, wraps them, and freezes them so they truly can be “grab and go” at 6 am!
~ My GFW Post “Picks” from Last Week
~ Gluten-Free Paleo Vegan Rustic Pear Galette from Unconventional Baker ~Audrey’s “picture frame” approach to this galette is just gorgeous, and I’m sure it’s delicious!
~ Monster Bars from Celiac in the City ~ While most of us just might be afraid of monsters under our bed, we can’t resist a recipe with “monster” in the title, right? We know that means something sort of epic! These Monster Bars from Sarah are flourless, but chock full of irresistible goodness! Remember, not all M&Ms are gluten free so, go with the classic flavor or choose another flavor that you’re sure is gluten free.
~ Strawberry Lemonade (with A Lime Twist) from Tia’s Kitchen ~ Real lemonade is hard to find anymore. I’d love to have a glass of Tia’s strawberry version!

Thank you for featuring my lemonade! You are the best, as the Little Man would say. 😉 And I will link up, including the zucchini with roasted red peppers. xoxo
Shirley says
You’re welcome, Tia! Obviously you’re teaching the Little Man well and how could I NOT feature your beautiful lemonade that practically jumps off the page? Now if only a glass would jump into my hand. 😉 Thanks for linking up again this week. Love all your recipes! 🙂
xoxo,
Shirley

Hi Shirley! I’m linking up my grandson’s very Pink..lol.. Gluten Free Cherry Chip birthday cake. Only a grandma can get away with giving a boy a pink cake!
Shirley says
Ali–Such a pretty and no doubt delicious cake! And true on what a grandma can get away with although pink is much more acceptable to guys than it was years ago. I know many guys who wear pink on a regular basis. 😉 Thanks for joining in!

Sarah || Celiac in the City says
Honored to be one of your picks of the week, Shirley — and as always, THANK YOU to the hosts each week for putting these together, it is such a great way to catalog recipes, but also introduce us to new bloggers. Many thanks, my friends. xoxo
Shirley says
Hey Sarah–Your kind sweet words are much appreciated! I love introducing readers and reader bloggers to other bloggers as you know, so I love hearing that! 🙂 Your Mamacita’s Monster Bars have everyone excited!!! 😉
xoxo,
Shirley
Megan Ancheta | Allergy Free Alaska says
Hi Shirley!
I can’t wait to see what new recipe you’ll be sharing with us soon. Way to keep us all in suspense! LOL! 😉
This week I’ve linked up my Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet with bacon, and my Best Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets. Both are on our regular meal rotation here.
Have a wonderful week! And thanks for the party!
xoxo,
Megan
Shirley says
Hey Megan–Well, the upcoming recipe that I’m hyping (just a bit) is more of a mainstream recipe, so I’m not sure it will be your cup of tea, but I’ll have two versions and one will be a bit healthier. 😉
Both of your recipes look awesome. That Sweet Potato Breakfast Skillet with Bacon is award winning in its appearance for sure!
Happy Friday! Happy weekend! xoxo,
Shirley
Audrey @ Gluten-Free Vegan Love says
Thanks so much for highlighting my pear galette, Shirley! I agree — the picture frame is an interesting variation to a traditional galette. It sort of happened on a whim and I loved it 🙂
This week I’m sharing a similar recipe — Gluten-Free Vegan and Paleo Shortbread Apple Pockets.
Have a wonderful week!
Shirley says
Hi Audrey–You’re welcome, of course! Well, my advice is to always follow those whims because your galette just makes a traditional round one look boring now. No kidding! Your Apple Pockets will win just as many over, I’m sure. 😉 It’s the time for apples!
Happy weekend!
Shirley
