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, 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.

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!

My Highlighted Posts from This Past Week

~ On gfe:

A Dozen+ Gluten-Free Cinco de Mayo Recipes to Get Your Celebrations Started! ~ Mexican enchiladas, casseroles of several types (even a “John Wayne worthy” one), chicken adobo rice bowl, taco popover supper, taco shell salad, black bean-corn-salsa soup, sangria, margaritas, grain-free wedding cookies, and fried ice cream … they’re actually all good year ‘round.

A Bountiful Bread Basket, Part 4: Top 30+ Best Gluten-Free Tortilla and Wrap Recipes ~

This roundup demonstrates the amazing talent in our gluten-free blogging community. The tortilla and wrap recipes include something for everyone:  “just gluten free” … dairy free … egg free and/or vegan … grain free … paleo/primal … and even raw options. You don’t have to rely upon ready-made tortillas—which quite frankly often don’t get the job done—any longer.

Tasty Tortilla Soup for Gluten-Free Cinco de Mayo Progressive Dinner ~ This recipe was my contribution to a special gluten-free progressive dinner to celebrate both Cinco de Mayo and Celiac Awareness Month. It works as either a lovely introduction to one’s meal or as a main dish. Mr. GFE and I enjoyed this soup made with chicken broth and chicken last night and Son enjoyed a vegan version with his girlfriend yesterday evening.

The Most Popular Post on Gluten-Free Wednesdays Last Week

Gluten-Free Baked Vanilla Doughnuts from Faithfully Gluten Free ~ I’m pretty sure we all could imagine just how delicious this doughnuts were after one quick look. As I told Jeanine, those flecks of vanilla bean in the frosting were calling my name! I wasn’t surprised to see that there were already rave reviews from Jeanine’s readers. Here’s one:

“You have done it again! These are FANTASTIC!!! They have the texture of a gluten donut…. they are light and not gritty! You are such a blessing to our family…. we have been gf for 2 years now and before that we ate homemade baked goods every day. That was the hardest part of going gf. We eat many, many of your recipes and we think you are the BEST!”

Incidentally, Jeanine just published a new ebook, Breakfast Beauties:  25 Gluten-Free Breakfast and Brunch Recipes. Another book of hers, The Everything Guide to Living Gluten Free:  The Ultimate Cooking, Diet, and Lifestyle Guide, is exactly as described and, therefore, has helped many!

My GFW Post “Picks” from Last Week

There are so very many great posts each week, but some posts that I checked out right away last week were:

Divine Chocolate Chip Cookies from Gluten-Free Good ~ I don’t know that I’ve ever “met” a chocolate chip cookies that I didn’t like, but Cheryl uses an ingredient that is well known for its creaminess and richness. So it’s no surprise that her chocolate chip cookies are divine.

Raw Strawberry Cheesecake from Unconventional Baker ~ Someone said this cake from Audrey would be perfect for a baby shower … and I’ll add … or a bridal shower … celebrating spring … welcoming strawberry season … relishing summer … or simply Wednesday?

Raw Strawberry Cheesecake Gluten-Free Vegan Love

And when I need more than dessert, I’ll take this Spiced Ginger Chicken from Worth Cooking ~ Debra says this recipe is her favorite way to cook chicken. If you’ve always been bored with chicken, I think her “Ginger spiced chicken breast with a slightly sticky coating” will change your mind.

    Oh my, my cookies are blushing! Thanks so much for highlighting. I’m going to see this weekend if I can make the cookie dough and travel with it so I can have fresh out of the oven cookies. Fingers crossed!

      Thanks, Laura. I had an unconventional Mother’s Day being on the road with Mr. GFE and away from family, but I saw my mom before we left and will see her tomorrow, and we’ll be going on vacation with Son very soon. Hope you had a lovely Mother’s Day! Did you see that your Millenium Falcon Cake made my highlights for this week’s GFW and that one of our blogger friends, Kathryn of Chacha’s Gluten-Free Kitchen plans to make it for her son’s birthday this month? Love it when gluten-free bloggers help each other with their recipes! 🙂

    Hi Shirley,

    Thanks SOOOO much for highlighting my cheesecake. I agree, it would be great for a baby/bridal shower 🙂

    Also, thanks for fixing the link to Jolene’s chocolate cake last weeks! I forgot to reply, but just wanted to say thanks…

      Audrey–I’m playing catch up after being away for a week. 😉 Now I’m thinking I need to do a roundup of dessert recipes that would be perfect for baby and bridal showers! Wouldn’t that be lovely?

      I can’t take credit for fixing the link. That would be Linda, the keeper of the linky, who made the fix. 🙂

      xo,

      Hey Pat–Catching up with comments from when I was on vacation. You really do have to devote a few minutes to look at all the goodness and keep getting back on task, don’t you? Every week has been amazing lately. Thank you so much for contributing to the linky and the sharing! :-0
