Naturally Gluten Free Roundup #12 – December

Quinoa with squash and pomegranate by Brian of A Thought for Food (used with permission)

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been a full year of naturally gluten free links!  I hope you have all enjoyed this series, and that it has given you several ideas for some great ways to prepare naturally gluten free dishes without having to worry about substitutions, elusive alternative ingredients etc.  I know it has been inspiring for me to see just how many different types of food are already gluten free, even though my family has been GF for years now.  To close out this year, we have a couple great looking recipes to share – warm squashes, lots of quinoa, rich chocolate, and some great photos as well.

Hope you had as much fun with this series as I did!  Would you like it to continue into 2013, or have you been sufficiently inspired?? Let me know your thoughts in the comments, and hope you have a wonderful New Year’s!
