Foodie Friday: Gluten Free Goodness. Recipes And More!

(Via Cilantro Cooks)

Inspiration for this post came after spending a few days in the country with my sister and her family. Many of them follow a gluten free diet. Only one out of need for medical reasons. The others have found that their children seem happier, healthier, and more focused without gluten in their life.  I don't eat much gluten myself, save for the occasional piece of cake, cupcake or cookie. My sweet tooth loves these things, but my body does not love the flour.  So I went on a hunt for scrumptious looking recipes that will tempt even sceptics like "Mr. Shop This."





Gluten-Free Baguettes (Egg-Free!)
I know many of you are always on the look out for a tasty gluten free bread.  I hear it is hard to find. These look too good NOT to be delicious!
