It’s hard to believe we’ve been sharing our healthier recipes for an entire year…some of you have been here since the beginning. Others have become good friends along the way.
Thank you for coming back every week to share your inspired dishes and for helping to show others that healthier food can be absolutely fabulous.
A Special Thanks…
A year ago today, Linda from The Gluten-Free Homemaker shared her gluten-free cinnamon rolls. She’s been linking up faithfully ever since. I owe so much to Linda – she was one of the first people to ever comment on my blog and invited me to take part in her weekly round-up, Gluten-Free Wednesdays. She’s been a good friend and has a very special place in my heart.
Ari, from The Frugally Rich Life, has also been linking up weekly. On Slightly Indulgent Tuesday’s kick-off event she shared her sugar-free mango sorbet. Lauren, from Celiac Teen, linked up Memory Buns and shared a wonderful story about family recipes.
Seeing how this event has grown over the past year brings me so much joy – as do each and every one of you. My gratitude for making me part of your week.
Last Week’s Healthier Highlights…
My friend and mentor, Helen, linked up Slow Cooker Green Chili Enchilada Chicken. She’s one heck of a cook so I’ve got this on my ‘to-make’ list. Abbie from Organizing Life shared a yummy Plum Crumble. And Alex, who cheers me up just because she’s so happy, talked about honoring her body and shared a Egg Drop Noodle Soup recipe.
My Submission with a Give-Away
Yesterday I shared a new cornbread recipe…it’s delicious. I’m already thinking of ways to change it up – maybe I’ll use up the rest of the blackberries in my refrigerator and make blackberry cornbread bites.
And, don’t miss the Tropical Traditions give-away on that post! One lucky reader will receive a gallon of organic palm shortening.
Noteworthy News…
- My Banana Carob Snack Cake is this week’s feature recipe at The National Foundation for Celiac Awareness.
- Please share this video featuring some fabulous new gluten-free products I found at The Fancy Food Show.
- Make sure to come back tomorrow – Ricki Heller, from Diet, Dessert, and Dogs, is guest posting here about one of her most popular recipes. I’ve had a sneak preview of the post – it’s one you don’t want to miss!
Linking Up Guidelines!
- When you link, please tell us who you are and what you’re cooking. For example, I might enter:
Amy @ Simply Sugar & Gluten Free – (Turkey, Mushroom, & Cheese Enchiladas) - Please link to your individual post, not your homepage and link back to this post so that your readers can find the recipes here.
I hate deleting links but some get deleted every week.
If you find that your link has been deleted it’s because it doesn’t link to your post or you haven’t linked back here. E-mail me with questions or if you need help.

AW ames! You mentioned me in your post and brought tears to my eyes! I simply cannot believe how bonded you can become across the internet! I wanna hug you!
One of these days I will. Sending all my best wishes and sugar free hugs and kisses to you for a happy one year anniversary to this hop. YOU make people see that living with food limitations can actually seem like nothing at all if you simply open up to all the OTHER wonderful possibilities! Heck, I even get excited when I make a recipe and know it will fit into your blog carnival! This week is no exception as I made a peach and watermelon salad with feta and it was delicious! Hugs girl!

Congrats on your 1st anniversary of this great weekly round-up Amy- it’s one of my favorites and I do try to link up each week- and for all the other great things going on for you!
I linked to my nectarines preserved in a spiced rum/honey syrup- it’s a nice way to put up some summer fruit without canning;)

I didn’t know that I was doing something in honor of you anniversary but I did. What timing! Everything happens for a reason so take my squash recipe as a tribute to all the good you have done, this year, all the friends you have made, all the inspiration you have passed along.

CONGRATULATIONS on your One-Year Anniversary. I love your recipes. Being a low-carber as well as having Celiac, your recipes using almond flour have been a welcomed addition to my collection. I’ve been using Bob’salmond meal since 2000 and just got my first Honeyville Almond Flour delivered and look forward to trying new things to bake from your cookbook. Keep up the outstanding work and thanks for putting so much of your time into it.

Happy Anniversary, Amy! It’s such a momentous occasion, but watch out … everything seems to go much faster in blogland after the first anniversary.
Anyway, look at this roundup today (and every Tuesday) and think of all you have accomplished in a year’s time. WOW, huh?!
I linked a favorite recipe for pork chops. Marinated and then grilled; this is a healthier way to eat pork chops … and, of course, delicious. I’m pretty sure that Joe would love them as much as Mr. GFE does.
xo,
Shirley

@gfe–gluten free easily, Pork chops are my nemesis…I’m glad to have a recipe from a pro. I dry them out unless they’re brined first – which is the only way I always get them right. Tell Mr. GFE that Mr. SS&GF will give him a report. LOL.

Also, thank you, Amy, for highlighting my scrambled eggs last week.
