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(GFW), the weekly blog carnival that I co-host with my friends Linda of Gluten-Free Homemaker (sadly, this site is no longer active) and Lynn of Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. This week’s highlights are a Paleo and Vegan Pizza Crust and much more that you’ll want to check out!
Everyone is talking fall, but I’m holding onto summer and all the fun that entails until the very end. I mean it, even if I did see wood smoke coming out of a chimney on the way home from our mountain property yesterday …
My Highlights from gfe
I’ve been playing with my gluten-free girlfriends the last several days, so I decided to share a newfound (for me) product that we used to create several delicious recipes. Seasonello Bologna Organic Herbal Salt. Most of you know that I’m not much of a product person. This one is simply real food, folks. Sea salt and beloved herbs. I’ll be using this Seasonello all the time!

Thank you once again for the opportunity Shirley! I had to laugh when I saw that the post just before and just after mine were both double chocolate treats – great minds????
Shirley says
Kathryn–I’ve seen many, many double and even triple chocolate treats lately! It must be the season! 😉 Thanks so much for linking up with those absolutely amazing looking brownies of yours!
xo,
Shirley
Megan | Allergy Free Alaska says
Oh the peach upside down cakes are going to be the death of me! 😉 They look incredible. Peaches just went on sale around here, too. 😉
This week I’m linking up two new recipes, my Simple Homemade Pizza Sauce, and a fave of the girls: Grain-Free Aloha Pizza Pockets. Thanks for hosting, Shirley! Have a great week!
xoxo,
Megan
Shirley says
Hey Megan–Peaches are so beautiful at home right now! (Still on vacation.)
I love both recipes that you linked up this week. I want to reach through the screen and dip my finger in that pizza sauce to test it and grab an Aloha Pizza Pocket off the plate. No kidding! Both are clearly terrific recipes and I appreciate you sharing them with us all!
Happy Labor Day weekend! Hope you’re staying warm given your early cold weather! xoxo,
Shirley
adrienne @ whole new mom says
Thanks so much for the feature, Shirley!!
Shirley says
Adrienne–You’re welcome. Smart to feature recipes from Jennifer. She creates such amazing grain-free, paleo-friendly recipes!

Starlene @ GAPS Diet Journey says
Thanks for hosting, Shirley! I’ve included my Beefy Stroganoff which is dairy-free and grain-free.
Shirley says
I appreciate you linking up, Starlene! Beef Strogranoff has always been one of my faves. Your version looks great. Much “lighter” but made with all real food, of course. 🙂

Andrea Wyckoff says
Oh, Wow!! I am so honored to have my bagels featured!! I am loving them right now! I made a double batch and brought them with me on my road trip to Montana – they have been a lifesaver this week! Helping me to avoid “eating emergencies” when on the road.
Thank you so much!!
Andrea
Shirley says
Oooh, safe and yummy bagels for a road trip! Gotta love that, Andrea. Eating emergencies rarely turn out well, so the results of your pre-planning have to be especially satisfying each time you sample one. 🙂 Loved your Montana photos! It’s such a beautiful state.

Audrey @ Gluten-Free Vegan Love says
Mmm… fluffy pancakes… 🙂 Look delicious! Actually, all your picks this week look amazing!
Sharing two today — a Balsamic Raspberry Rhubarb Jam and a Mango Carob Tart {both gf, vegan, and paleo}.
Shirley says
Thanks, Audrey! I always love both your feedback and your participation in Gluten-Free Wednesdays! Now those two entries are a bit different than what I’ve come to expect from you for GFW entries, but both look and sound amazing. I admit that I’ve never been a huge jam girl, but the more savory ones have admittedly always appealed to me. Love the idea of balsamic in a jam! I’m a balsamic girl, even if I only learned about balsamic after going gf, so only 11 years ago. 😉

Audrey @ Gluten-Free Vegan Love says
Hehe. I’m the total opposite — cake for breakfast and all! 😉
Yeah, maybe it’s the end of summer that’s influencing my recipes and I see what you mean. I’ve been making a ton of jams and preserves from stuff on our farm and I figured I’d share that jam as it turned out particularly tasty — the subtle balsamic flavor is the best part 🙂
Shirley says
Audrey– 😉 I’m so glad that you shared that jam! I’m still in denial on “the end of summer” (although we can now see more neighbors than just a week ago due to leaves falling–sigh). I love fall, but it has just felt like summer has gone by too quickly. For us, it’s mostly been a cooler summer than usual. So many gorgeous days and cooler nights with the windows open. So that’s probably affecting my feelings, too. But no matter how I personally feel, time and seasons march on. LOL

Petra says
Great collection! I don’t know what to try first, but maybe the fluffy pancakes?! :)) To be honest, I didn’t know anything about gluten free food but my daughter’s celiatic disease changed all… The first steps were quite difficult – we tried many local restaurants to discover the new tastes and then searched for some unusual recipes. Unfortunately, we just realized that some of the places we usually eat at are not 100 % gluten free (I don’t know what is the situation in Virginia but if you are interested, this is ours in Toronto) so I’m again focusing on collecting some new tips – currently trying to add some new salads, do you have any “must-try” ones?
Shirley says
Hi Petra–Welcome to gfe! 🙂 Most folks don’t know anything about gluten-free living UNTIL they or someone in their family has to go gluten free. Then we learn very quickly, but after some difficult first steps as you say. Eating gluten free is very much as you shared pretty much everywhere. I like to say that eating out is a “crapshoot” every time you do it. As much as we try to prepare and be safe, frequent spots that are informed, etc., there are so many ways that things can go badly and we can get glutened. My approach is to focus on foods that are naturally gluten free to remove as much risk as possible. Plus, those foods are real foods, unprocessed, etc. and make me feel better. So when eating out, I like meals like steamed seafood (make sure it’s not steamed in beer!), baked potatoes, simple veggies, and the like. When I vary from that routine going for an item like “gluten-free pizza,” I almost always get glutened. 🙁
One of the favorite salad recipes on my site is this Great Salad. It really is terrific! 🙂
