Gluten Free Cherry Meringues Recipe
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.

So I surveyed some people and got a lot of answers that said “an Old Fashion.” I have never had one so I looked up the recipe and my mind starting to take off in another direction. I have a sort of obsession with turning cocktails into gluten free cupcakes
Gluten Free Red, White & Blueberry Cupcakes Recipe
When I was growing up it was not popular to appear patriotic. It was a time of conflict, confusion and corruption followed by apathetic indifference. And yet despite the unpopularity, I do believe that in my own way I was patriotic.
