Food Blog Review: Gluten-Free but Good Anyway!

Yes, it's certainly been a while, but some changes in my life demanded my attention and sewing got unceremoniously pushed to the back burner.  Eating never does, however! I am always interested in healthy and creative foods to try and blogs are a great avenue through which to find dishes you never would have thought of before (or you can't really get in a restaurant).  

I have discovered a couple food blogs lately that I am completely obsessed with and cook from voraciously (and eat the same way)!  A Navy friend suggested I check out The Edible Perspective for the photography and general food blog awesomeness.  Am I glad I did!  Her photography is beautiful, and I have found some recipes that I adore.  

All her recipes are gluten-free, which doesn't matter a whit to me personally, but I appreciate a bit of variety in the way I eat and experimenting with new ingredients (rice flour? millet? why not?).  I made this first; it is an amazing use for millet: Kale Frittata with Millet Crust.  I grew kale for the first time this past winter, and it went crazy!   We are filling every pot with kale for sure.  

A-mazing!  Creamy egg frittata with lots of veggies and the millet crust is addictive
I had a hankering for another kale use and our home-grown oranges, so this Quinoa Kale Salad was perfect!
Citrusy and delicious!
I am also a new fan of chia seeds.  These little nutritional powerhouses are amazing at thickening anything, and this Strawberry Lemon Chia Curd is an amazing raw curd with an unbelievable flavor and texture.  And of course I had to make it with the gluten-free doughnuts she came up with.
Beautiful and oh so tasty!  Tart and comforting.
I've also made her White Pizza Quinoa Casserole (comfort food personified without the guilt!) and the chocolate layer of her Gluten-free Birthday Cake to make an ice-cream birthday cake for a friend.  She has a gluten-free doughnut cookbook out also!  Her recipes are easy, hearty, and comforting, and she makes food look so delectable!
