Slightly Indulgent Tuesday; 10/4/11 (and more Gluten-Free on TV!)

Posted on October 3, 2011

What a week it’s been! I can’t believe Tuesday is here already.

Last week was a whirlwind of activity between both news spots and The Gluten & Allergen-Free Expo.

Friday morning I was on Good Morning Texas chatting about the Expo and making Cinnamon Raisin Scones. Check out the clip – and yes, those donuts are gluten-free and refined sugar-free. (It’s a recipe from my book.)

This clip is different than the last clip I posted. I was lucky enough to be on the news both Thursday and Friday mornings. (If you can’t see the video in your RSS feed or your e-mail, click through to SimplySugarAndGlutenFree.com.)

If you didn’t make it to the GFAF Expo in Dallas, mark your calendars for next April because we have a new event you won’t want to miss:

Nourished – A Food Blogger Conference!

Yes, a food blogger conference on Friday April 13th geared specifically toward gluten-free and allergen-friendly bloggers! Anyone can attend but we’ll be tailoring sessions toward our specific niches.

The conference will be followed by two days of The GFAF Expo. Both events will be held at the same hotel in a suburb of Chicago.

Jen Cafferty, founder of The GFAF Expo, and I are teaming up to bring this event to you. I’ll be sharing more information soon and we’ll be launching our website. We’re so excited!

Ok…back to SIT! Can’t wait to see what you’ve cooked up!

Linking Up Guidelines: PLEASE READ!

Please link back to this post NOT A STATIC “BLOG PARTY PAGE” so that your readers can find the recipes here.
Link to your individual post, NOT your home page.
Recipes DO NOT have to be sugar-free or gluten-free – just healthier in some way. The idea is to share our ideas and inspire each other in the kitchen.
Please don’t link give-aways and book reviews without recipes or contests – the intent of this event is to compile recipes that give people options.
(Optional) When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I might enter: Sweet Corn Spoon Bread (Amy @ Simply Sugar & Gluten Free)

Note: If you’re getting this in an email or an RSS reader, you can’t see all the tasty pics of dishes that have been shared at SIT. Hop on over to SimplySugarAndGlutenFree.com and find something you’re entire family will love!

Hi Amy,

It’s been so long since I have linked up. I keep forgetting until later in the week when I read my reader. Well, I remembered this week. I have a post from a couple of weeks ago. Gluten-Free, “Breaded” Fish and Tartar Sauce. It’s part of a giveaway, but the giveaway ends today (Tuesday) and I really just want to link up the recipe. Plus, the tartar sauce is amazing and only a few, normal ingredients. Who knew you could make it without all of the chemicals?

xoxo,
Tia

Hi Amy, thanks for the link! I have an awesome recipe to share. I was so proud of myself for being able to whip up something SO good. (I am not normally the best at creating and experimenting). This one turned out great! Gluten free blueberry muffins. Sweet comfort food for fall! http://www.glutenfreelyfrugal.com/2011/10/03/blueberry-muffins/

And oh, that conference sounds like fun. Of course, anything involving getting away from the daily grind sounds awesome….

I linked up my old-fashioned Date Bar recipe. It can be made guaranteed gluten-free with certified gluten-free oats. It contains sugar, but you might be able to get away with less since the dates already contain a nice amount of sugar.

Thanks for the chance to share my recipe here! Hope your readers like it.

You are tempting me with Nourished. I’m trying to decide which blogging conference to go to next year and that one sounds so tempting. When will the site be up?

HI Amy,
Glad the linky is now working. I shared my grain-free roll out cookie dough and the 5 reasons for my upcoming 28 day grain-free challenge. I hope that is OK. I think people in this group would be interested in that. If not, you know what to do

I’m so proud of you – two TV shows in a week, plus the cooking class this weekend, plus this upcoming expo! You’re truly finding an amazing niche and your success is so deserved. Good job. I’m sharing my shepherd’s pie with pumpkin souffle topping this week. Thank you!

@Alta, I would love some of your shepard’s pie right now. I’m at that “hungry pregnant woman” stage.

And, thanks, Alta. Loved seeing you this weekend.

Thank you so much for hosting and congrats! I shared a Tomato Basil “Pizza” w/ Cauliflower Crust (not sure why the title got cut off in the link tool). This is a fabulous grain-free version of “pizza”. Thanks again

Hi Amy- You look great on television! And I’ve made those Cinnamon Raisin Scones from your cookbook, so I know just how good they are

I’ve linked Shrimp Stir Fry with Bok Choy, Mushrooms and Spinach today. It’s gluten-free, casein-free, egg-free, sugar-free and nut-free.

Got in just under the wire this week, but I’m glad I made it! Phew! LOL Sharing Carrot Cake Omega Blast Balls this week. They’re gluten free (watch for cross contaminated oats!), oil free, refined sugar free, and flourless. They’re also loaded with Omega 3′s! Enjoy
