I've decided to compile most of my personal gluten-free recipes into an ebook soon. For now, I would like to share some homemade budget friendly gluten-free tips. As always if you aren't sure it is gluten free, even if it is listed gluten free on my blog, double check ingredients and with the product's manufacturer also.
I will be cooking a turkey in the oven slowly, all buttered, salt and peppered inside and out and stuffed with freshly chopped veggies (carrots, celery, and red onion).
Tonight I made my sides for reheating, and I will make more on the day of, green jello salad made with pears, apple pie and chocolate chip cookies (this one for my kids!).
Photos coming soon!
