You can use this recipe to make a strawberry, cherry or cranberry margarita. Cheers! Continue reading “Strawberry, Cherry, or Cranberry Margarita”

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.

Their peanut sauce may also contain gluten, but I didn’t ask. The appetizer is called Saigon Summer Rolls, also known as Vietnamese Rolls (Saigon is the former name of the current city, Ho Chi Minh City, in Vietnam.)

I hope you enjoy it as much as we have. Continue reading “Spicy Carrot Salad”
