Fill them with savory meat and sauces for lunch, dinner, or an appetizer. This particular gluten free crepes recipe uses the zest (grated peel) of fresh lemon to create spectacular flavor. Enjoy!

I made this flan recipe on Cinco de Mayo. It is a Mexican and Spanish tradition, though you may find some slight differences in recipes. It is naturally gluten free. This is my personal version which omits sweetened condensed milk. I find it too sweet. You can easily make flan using evaporated milk only and control the amount of sugar you add. I have leftovers of this luscious dessert and can’t wait to have some again tonight. Yum! Continue reading “Flan Using Evaporated Milk Only”
Back in 2011 or 2012, I received an email from Celiac ListServ with the following statement:
“Here is the response I got from IKEA: Hello, “Thank you for your email. It is correct that the blueberry cake is gluten free, as well as the almond cake, almond cake with dark chocolate and the almond cake with milk chocolate and butterscotch. These cakes doesn’t contain any gluten; neither in the actual product nor the production area. We will update the packaging for these cakes before the next print run and add that they are free of gluten too. But you can feel secure that they does not contain any gluten already today since it is not written on the label/packaging as ingredient or traces of. “When it comes to the restaurant range and gluten free options here, please ask the staff at your next visit in the store since the range is constantly changing and we have both global and local produced dishes. However you always have to consider the risk of contamination from products containing gluten since they are all prepared in the same area in the restaurant, and we can therefore never guarantee that a dish is totally free of gluten. “Kind regards, Josefine Hallberg IKEA Food Services AB”
