Gluten Free Baked Pesto Penne

Gluten Free Baked Pesto Penne Recipe

The very first “classic” recipe I recall setting out to learn was Béchamel or white sauce. I was a teenager at the time and it just seemed like a good thing to know how to make.

One of the five “mother sauces” of French cuisine, Béchamel is really versatile and can be the base of so many other fabulous things such as cream soups, spinach gratin, and cheese dip (not to mention mac and cheese!)

Memorial Day is this weekend which means barbecues, cookouts, and pot luck parties. Such functions can be so much fun but can also strike terror into the hearts of the gluten sensitive! What can you safety eat? How can I be polite and safe at the same time? Am I going to starve?!?

Ok, first of all, relax; it takes something like 4 – 6 weeks to starve to death so chances are you will not starve.Secondly there are precautions you can take to ensure you will be able to safely eat.

Gluten Free Clean Eating Candy Bars Recipe

Our commitment to cleaner eating continues. When you start to pay attention to what you eat it can be a little shocking.

What I did not realize that I had been habitually, obliviously popping 2 or 3 into my mouth every day.

I seriously hate unconscious eating. If I am going to eat a candy bar then I want to enjoy a candy bar!

Need a last minute Easter dessert idea? No problem – I have one for you! These pretty little meringue nests are naturally gluten free, bite sized treats filled with chocolate whipped cream and a cherry on top.

The base of these treats are simply meringue that I scooped with an ice cream scoop and then made and indentation in the center with the back of a small spoon (I actually used a melon baller) – no complicated piping for me.
