Never Living Without

Archive for January, 2010

Thank you for returning to Never Living Without. I hope my information has given you some inspiration to go out and try some new Gluten Free cooking experiments. That is how some of my best recipes were developed!

Elana is giving away 5 pounds of almond flour and her new cookbook, The Gluten Free Almond flour Cookbook.  But it’s only open until Jan 11th, so move as fast as you can!  This recipe is great. My favorite is just how it is. Vanilla cupcake and chocolate frosting.
