The Blender Girl Teams Up With Top Food Bloggers For “Gluten Free Baking With KitchenAid”

WOW! April is going to be an exciting month!

As I will be attending the first Nourished Gluten Free Food Bloggers Conference and the Gluten and Allergy Free Expo in Chicago this month, I thought it only fitting that I celebrate "All things Gluten Free."

I had already organized to feature the amazing 7-QT Bowl-Lift Residential Stand Mixer as the April Giveaway, and celebrate this phenomenal machine with some fabulous recipes. But, what better way to do this than to team up with some other wonderful gluten free bloggers and share a gluten free treat a day that can be made in the KitchenAid Stand Mixers. 

So, I sent out some requests to some of my favourite gluten free bloggers and was overwhelmed by the response. Talk about a bunch of super talented, incredibly smart, creative, generous women!

The result? A sensational calendar of delectable treats this month!

I will be posting a recipe a day througout the month and updating the links on this page.
I have all of these gluten free blogs listed on my blogroll. But this list has links to all of their social media profiles, as well as the gluten free recipes they shared.

So here it is! ENJOY!
