Naturally Gluten Free Roundup #4 – April

Welcome to the April edition of naturally gluten free links from across the blogosphere!!  If you are unfamiliar with this event, each month I post a roundup of naturally gluten free recipes that I find across the blogosphere that sound flavorful and delicious.  By “naturally gluten free”, I mean these recipes need no alterations, they are already GF just as they are.  The bloggers may not  necessarily be GF, but these particular recipes are, and this month did not disappoint!  I’m loving being able to find such great diversity across flavors and cultures – today’s roundup features dishes from American, Australian, Indian, French, Moroccan, Mexican, Italian, and Argentinian cuisines.  It just goes to show how approachable and accessible gluten free living really can be.

This month as we see more produce making an appearance for Springtime, there’s also a general trend moving away from the heavier comfort foods to lighter fresher fare – so much so that I decided to abandon the soups category for now and instead incorporate any soups I want to share into their appropriate veggie or meat categories.  We are starting to see some of my favorite flavors appear, like peas, strawberries, asparagus, and lavender.

Also I’ve decided to keep a list of all past roundups updated on my gluten free resources page – so if you want to go back and find great looking naturally GF recipes, all you have to do is visit that page to quickly access all of the monthly posts.

So without further ado, here are this month’s great looking dishes – I’m sure you are bound to find inspiration amongst these lovely plates:
