Naturally Gluten Free Roundup #8 – August

Welcome to another summery edition of my naturally gluten free roundup series! I think I can finally say that I am ready for Summer to be over. The past couple days have been a refreshing respite from the summer heat, and in our not so air-conditioned home (as in, not at all), the cool air is totally welcome.  During this summer, I have been so thankful for this series that I’ve done here each month, as all of my cooking seems to have gone back to the basics – just good fresh food from simple ingredients.  Maybe it’s the heat that keeps me from wanting to do too much baking, or maybe it’s just still adjusting to the newfound structure of life with a baby, that experimenting in the kitchen hasn’t been so high on my list of priorities at the moment.  And so, I’m really excited to share this month’s roundup with you!

If you are new to my series, each month I look for naturally gluten free recipes across the interwebs and pick some of my favorites that I think look tasty and share them with you here.  The bloggers featured may not all be gluten free, but these particular recipes are, and best of all no crazy ingredients or substitutions are necessary!  This month features a good diversity across the board, with a few recipes that might be hinting at the coming fall.  So enjoy!
