Glutenfreelish runs a blog dedicated to gluten free living whether it’s reviewing existing gluten free products or baking tasty gluten free recipes Glutenfreelish is always on the lookout for tasty gluten free treats. Glutenfreelicio chronicles a journey in a gluten free life by a woman who is not sensitive to gluten who has a family that is! One of my favorite things about Glutenfreelish’s blog is her style of writing, she writes to you and not at you and she details the things that you really want to know ie: gluten free pizza not gluten free cardboard treats.
What else do I love about Glutenfreelish? I love love love her choice of foods, while she includes and recommends healthier snack choices and dinner ideas she also includes the snacks that children will eat and enjoy. Recipes range from Saucy Baked Ziti, to savory sweet potato bread. My favorite post from Glutenfreelish?
