Gluten-Free Food Review #4

If you love tortillas, then I have good news for you.

To my surprise and delight I discovered some wonderful brown rice, gluten free tortillas made by Food For Life, and I think I'm in love. The texture is crispy and amazing, straight out of the package. The flavor is very deep and almost reminiscent of sourdough, but in a new and exciting way.

I used mine to make a quesadilla, something I hadn't had in quite some time. It was thoroughly enjoyable, and I definitely recommend you give these tortillas a try.

Blackberry Pie

Wow, it's been a while! But here I am, and with wonderful news!

A friend of mine who is an excellent chef made me the luckiest girl in the world today! She took her time and love to make me a gluten free blackberry pie from scratch!

The pie was absolutely amazing. The outer crust was flakey, the blackberries weren't too sweet, there was a bit of a lemony flavor that paired perfectly with the berries, and the bottom crust had a perfectly tender consistency.

Here is a picture of this tasty treat. Try not to drool on your keyboard.


Isn't it gorgeous? It tastes even better!

It was so wonderful to have pie, which is something I haven't enjoyed in a very, very long time. The best part though is that I knew I could trust Summer's cooking because she is licensed and serve safe certified. I know we'll be ordering cakes and pies from her in the future! Maybe you should too!
