After finding that even professional bakers have trouble making the perfect pretzel, brown and shiny, I discovered what works the best to achieve this. I must have done a good job, as my gluten-eating husband stated that my gluten free soft pretzels taste identical to the real thing. Enjoy! Continue reading “Gluten Free Soft Pretzels”

On a cold winter’s day a good hearty, gluten free turkey soup is an American tradition. If you’re watching your weight, choose the white turkey meat, if there’s any left.
