Welcome back to Gluten-Free Wednesdays (GFW), 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 really helpful to those who are new to living gluten free or are “veterans” who just might be stuck in a bit of a rut and need some outside inspiration for recipes, menu planning, travel, and more.
Be sure to check out all the links throughout the event and if you’re a blogger, we’d love for you to link up your gluten-free food posts. Link up to just one of our blogs and your post(s) show up on all three—sweet!
My Highlights from gfe
~ A Glimpse of Our Vacation in Mexico ~ We just got back from a wonderful week in Cozumel, Mexico! “We,” as in Mr. GFE, Son, and Son’s girlfriend. It was really great to be all together for an entire week, and we even got to meet up with some friends who were there for the week as well. So many stories were told, so much catching up was done, and so much future planning took place. Plus there was, of course, lots of good eating and drinking for all, scuba diving for Mr. GFE, beach time, and more.

The Most Popular Post on Gluten-Free Wednesdays Last Week
~ Lemon Sugar Cookies from Faithfully Gluten Free ~ Gorgeous! Everyone loves sugar cookies and lemon is another favorite, so Jeanine has created a really terrific treat in these cookies.
My GFW Post “Picks” from Last Week
~ Gluten-Free Monkey Bread from Lynn’s Kitchen Adventures ~ I do love Monkey Bread and Lynn said she got the gluten-free version right after creating a dough recipe that met her high standards!
~ Paleo Beef Nachos from Sandi’s Allergy-Free Recipes ~ I think Sandi’s recipe is an absolutely brilliant idea for corn-free, grain-free nachos!

Hi Shirley,
I love that sunset picture!! So pretty!
This week I’m linking up 2 seafood recipes (both are DF, Paleo): Lemony Cedar Planked Salmon with Garlic & Dill, and a White Cioppino with Kale (a.k.a. seafood stew). Thank you for hosting!

Sunsets are so calming, aren’t they, Megan? Oooh, on that salmon! I’m not cioppino gal, but so many LOVE it! 😉 Thanks for linking up each week! I’m excited about your new weekly event, Gluten-Free and DIY Tuesdays, that you’re hosting with Jeanine. Fun and tasty! 🙂
