Bacon wrapped anything is wonderful. Let’s face it, flavorful fat and salt just make things taste better. My second most popular appetizer is my Baked Wrapped Honey Chicken Appetizers. So, I figured you all may be interested in more bacon-wrapped appetizers. These bacon wrapped stuffed mushroom are just as flavorful except more so. They are stuffed with more richness, cream cheese! Enjoy.

Gluten Free Saigon Summer Rolls – Vietnamese Rolls with Peanut Sauce

Gluten Free Saigon Summer Rolls

While on vacation, we ate at one my favorite gluten free menu restaurants, PF Chang’s China Bistro. While this appetizer from their happy hour menu is not gluten free, allow me to explain why it’s not. The waitress spoke to the chef on my behalf. He said that the only reason why they don’t label it gluten free is because it is made on a grill that would pick of cross-contamination from gluten.
