Gluten-Free Wonder Buns

Black-Jack Chicken Quesadillas

Cider Vinegar Chicken

This was a nice, simple dinner that I made a couple of months ago.  The picture is hard to see – the chicken is at 4 o’clock.  I served it with sweet potatoes, chickpea salad, and green beans with red onions. Cider Vinegar Chicken 2

Spinach Cheese Balls

I made these gluten-free for a 4th of July party this year and they were good – even though I overbaked them slightly.  I did mix them up a couple of days ahead and froze until the day of the party.  I served these with
