There’s nothing like a good shortbread cookie with a cup of tea. We used to devour one of my former client’s gluten free lemon shortbread cookies (Simply Shari’s), but I can’t have them anymore because they contain tapioca and citrus. My husband still enjoys them, though. Meanwhile, since my flour blend recipe calls for tapioca or cornstarch, I can make my own shortbread cookies. My hubby misses lemon desserts since I realized I was allergic to it. So, I’m trying to make enough to freeze for him to enjoy!. I hope you enjoy them as well.

If you like idea of the red, white and blue theme of 4th of July and Memorial Day, using fruit instead of artificial coloring is the way to go.

You have your choice of multiple crust recipes. Of course, you can always use a gluten free ready-made pie crust at your store.

Summer heat already gotcha down? Try a refreshing salad instead of hot meal. Many people have trouble making gluten free pasta salad in advance. Rice pasta gets hard when refrigerated overnight. There are a couple of tricks to get you to succeed,though. Don’t use rice pasta. Try pasta made from other grains such as corn, quinoa, etc. If you must buy one that contains rice, at least make sure it is a mixture of other grains, too. Then, prior to refrigerating, add dressing, or at least oil, to the pasta to keep it soft. Keep in mind that gluten free pasta absorbs liquid quickly. Enjoy!
