Welcome back to Gluten-Free Wednesdays (GFW)! GFW is the weekly blog carnival event that I co-host with my friends Linda of The Gluten-Free Homemaker (sadly, this site is no longer active) and Lynn of Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. All gluten-free food-related posts are welcome, so GFW is a great opportunity to learn about living gluten free via recipes, safe dining options, the best ingredients for the best results, and much more. Spoiler alert:  This week I’m featuring recipes for Double Chocolate Pound Cake, Low-Carb Bun, Mini Cupcake Bouquet, and Paleo Empanadas.

Check out all the links throughout the event and link up your gluten-free food posts if you’re a blogger. Remember that you only need to link up to one of our blogs, but your post(s) will show up on all three! (Be sure to scroll down and read the rules/guidelines first though.)

My Highlighted Posts from This Past Week

~ On gfe:

~ A Chance to Give Back to Our Friend Jules Shepard (gfjules.com) ~ If you haven’t heard, our friend Jules—who serves as one of our most passionate gluten-free advocates, a gluten-free baking expert, and much more—needs our help. Let’s give a little love back to Jules who’s always been there for us!

~ HONOR Your Body:  How to Recover After Being “Glutened” (i.e., Gluten Exposure) ~ I thought it was timely to share this post as I was just glutened and there are always folks in the gluten-free community lamenting being glutened despite following their usual precautions. Be sure to read the post with advice from many in the gluten-free community and at least skim the comments where readers share what’s worked for them. This is a good post to bookmark and/or print out and highlight remedies that make sense to you or that you’d like to try in the future.

How to Recover After Being Glutened

The Most Popular Post on Gluten-Free Wednesdays Last Week

~ Double Chocolate Pound Cake from Fairy Wings and Pixie Dust ~ Jolene’s recipe is gluten free, vegan, and, in fact, Top 8 allergen free. Pretty appealing, especially with the simple frosting made from coconut oil and chocolate chips!

My GFW Post Picks from Last Week

It’s always difficult to choose just a few to highlight, so I hope you look over all the posts each week, but here are some that made me click right away:

~ Low Carb Bun for One (courtesy of the Wayback Machine archive) from Free Range Cookies (unfortunately, this site is no longer active) ~ This gluten-free, grain-free, dairy-free bun is terrific when you only need—or only want—one bun, which is pretty often for many of us. Linda’s recipe can be baked in the microwave or the oven. I bet you’re already thinking of what you’ll serve on your bun!

Grain Free Low Carb Bun for One Free Range Cookies

~ Mini Cupcake Bouquet with Blueberry Frosting from Petite Allergy Treats ~ Laura sure knows how to take mini cupcakes up several notches. Who doesn’t want to reach out and grab your own cupcake “flower” from this bouquet which she shared in a guest post over at Fearless Dining? They’re gluten free, dairy free, vegan, and Top 8 allergen free, but use the concept to make your bouquet however you like. These would make a super special birthday treat for a loved one!

~ Paleo Empanadas from Predominantly Gluten Free ~ While most empanadas are made of corn and easily made gluten free, making grain-free empanadas can be a bit more challenging. Find out which “secret ingredient” Jennifer used to make her mouth-watering empanadas.

    Hi Shirley,
    The “Honor Your Body” post has so much good information in it – it is a remarkable resource for anyone with questions about gluten-free living. In the linky I’ve shared some GF Carne Guisada, which is not only a family-pleasing dish but is also DF, egg-free, nut-free and more.
    Have a good week!
    Hugs –
    Pat

      Thanks so much for that feedback, Pat! I appreciate it and that you’ve linked up once again with a delicious dish that’s perfect for Cinco De Mayo and will work for so many reading. 🙂

      Hugs back and happy May!

    Hi Shirley!

    Sorry to hear you’ve not been well, hope you’re feeling a little better.

    I love your highlights this week and I was sorry to read about Jules, it seems so unfair and almost unbelievable!

    I’ve brought my Pea and Rocket soup.

    Have a lovely week!

      Hi Vicky–Thanks, dear. I’m doing much better this evening, thank goodness! I appreciate your lovely feedback and the recipe you’ve linked as always. 🙂 (Have I told you how much I love peas?!) Yes, Jules’ story is unbelievable. I am grateful to those in the gf community who are supporting her and helping her start an even better chapter with Gluten Free Jules!

      Happy Thursday and May!

      Hey Amber–Oh, I’m with you on the empanadas for sure!> Jennifer has a knack for picking some “surprise” ingredients to create some divine recipes! Thanks so much for all your sharing—love that! And I should add that the recipes you’ve linked up having me drooling … I could go for any of them, even after midnight—yum!

      Happy May, my dear! xo,
      Shirley

    Hi Shirley,

    Sorry to hear you got glutened. I hope you recover quickly. I just read through the post with tips and I think there’s really great advice in there.

    I also really like your picks, especially that chocolate bread, though there doesn’t seem to be a link to it? I’d love to check the recipe out.

    Have a great week!

      Hi Audrey–Thanks so much on all! I do feel a lot better now. I really appreciate you getting me straight on the chocolate pound cake recipe—yikes! I was missing another link, too. That’s what happens when one is “glutened” and can’t sleep. No kidding. 🙁 All fixed now, I hope. 😉

      Happy May!

      LOL on the “even better eating” part of your statement, Laura. For sure! 🙂 It was my pleasure to highlight this beautiful genius creation of yours. I bet that some readers of GFW will create their own cupcake bouquets for Mom for Mother’s Day! 😉
