As I said in my last post, Mr. GFE and I were on a road trip for Mother’s Day so it was a bit of an atypical one, but I saw my mom before we left and we will see Son in a few weeks. And one set of friends had flowers for me for Mother’s Day when I woke up and another couple who we traveled to see that evening had strawberry daiquiris at sunset, after which we shared dinner together. So “it’s all good.” I hope you all had lovely Mother’s Days, too!
And 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 and Lynn of Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures. All gluten-free food-related posts are welcome for this event, so GFW is a great opportunity to learn about living gluten free on many levels. Check out all the links throughout the event and link up your gluten-free food posts if you’re a blogger. Link up to just one of our blogs, but your post(s) will show up on all three!

Chicken Paprikash is one of those dishes that I immediately liked the first time I heard its name. And while the name is fun and enticing, it’s the delicious ingredients that will keep you coming back!

Shirley,
Glad you had a good Mother’s Day, and that you were able to get away with the hubby! 😉
This week I’m sharing my recipe for Rich & Decadent Dairy Free Hot Fudge Sauce. It’s vegan & Paleo… and absolutely sinful (in such a good way). ;D
Hope you have a wonderful week!!
xoxo,
Megan
Shirley says
Hey Megan–We were only gone 6 days, but it seemed like 2 weeks because we covered so much ground and saw so many folks! 🙂 Hope you had an amazing Mother’s Day weekend, too, but if you were making that decadent fudge sauce with your girls, it clearly was an amazing weekend! 😉
Loving all your posts lately and really appreciate ALL that goes into them. xoxo,
Shirley

I can’t believe the millennium falcon cake — so awesome :). Well done!

Pat @ Elegantly, Gluten-Free says
Hi Shirley,
Thank you for featuring my Chicken Paprikash! With all the wonderful dishes last week, I’m so honored for you to do that 🙂

Shirley says
Hey Pat–It was my pleasure. That’s the kind of dish that Mr. GFE will love! And me, too, of course. 😉

Alisa says
Thank you SO much for featuring my recipe Shirley! It actually is gluten-free (that is a box of GF pasta in the picture) – no gf version required 🙂
Shirley says
Hey Alisa–You’re welcome, of course. Such a pretty and appealing dish! 🙂 I’m erring on the side of caution with my wording as you used gluten-free pasta and noted that in parens, however, you simply said “macaroni” in your recipe before the parenthetical info. I don’t want anyone who’s new to living gluten free to unknowingly “gluten” themselves. 😉
