Piggies! It is DAY 7 of Gluten Free Baking With KitchenAid, and we continue celebrating our KitchenAid Stand Mixer Giveaway. Seeing as it is Easter Saturday, I thought I would share TWO bloggers today and TWO gluten free treats you can make with your family. The first fabulous lady I would like to introduce you to is Sarah M. Boudreau-Romano MD, a.k.a The Allergist Mom. Sarah is a board certified pediatrician who completed a fellowship in allergy/immunology at Northwestern Medical Hospital and Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago, IL. She is also the mother of 4 children, 3 of whom have life-threatening food allergies. As Sarah says on her blog, "Sal, age 6, although significantly affected by his siblings’ food allergies has never... Keep Reading

Piggies! It is DAY 6 of Gluten Free Baking With KitchenAid celebrating our 7-QT Stand Mixer Giveaway.  It is also Good Friday and the beginning of the Easter holidays, so Happy Easter everyone. Happy Passover too :) I thought it only fitting that I share a really showstopping little dessert that I am making for my Good Friday dinner party. My friend Kat (who is like my second sister) is going to be here from Australia, and we are going to have a FEAST! I don't know about you but if the photo of these gluten free dairy free berry cheesecake tartlets doesn't make you salivate, perhaps you need glasses! Talk about GORGEOUS food photography. It is ALL CLASS at The Pure Pantry, and Elizabeth Kaplan is just the gluten free maven to kick off... Keep Reading

I also received some emails from other contributors gushing that Carol was their "baking goddess!" So, for those of you who are not acquainted with the great Carol Fenster, here is the scoop! Carol Fenster is a cook, teacher, consultant and author of 10 gluten free cookbooks (see links below) for those with celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
