Seasonal Sunday (02-06-11)

Happy Sunday Everyone!

This week I’m feeling much more calm, cool and collected. The issues within this site were fixed and I am back in the saddle with my ducks back in a row. Then this past Tuesday I finally figured out how to make once again a cake that was out of this world. This has been a bit of a battle since going Gluten Free one year ago. I am so pleased with this recipe- It is Gluten/Dairy/Soy/Corn/Refined Sugar Free with an Egg Free option. This is not the recipe I am featuring today- but I’m just so thrilled with how intensely moist, soft and fluffy it was that I just had to mention it  Check it out- It has an ingredient that might surprise you: Extra Moist Gluten Free Double Chocolate Chip Cake.

Today I would like to highlight a Blogger that I admire and truly adore. Shirley from Gluten Free Easily is a kind soul- She is the first blogger than I ever connected with 6 months ago when Real Sustenance was at its beginnings. She answered questions and very much inspired me to keep at it. Shirley and I share a love for Pumpkin. So this past week when she shared her recipe for her Gluten Free Crustless Pumpkin Pie- I knew it needed to be featured. Gluten Free Easily is a mind field of recipes and information. Be sure to also check out her Popover recipes. (she has 2!)

This week my submission to Seasonal Sundays is a soup recipe that well- is the best soup I have ever made (or had). Have you ever cooked something and enjoyed its flavor so much that you continued to taste test it until your were full before ever sitting down for the meal itself?  That is what this soup did to me. Its simple and quick to throw together- and I think that you are absolutely going to love it.  Its Creamy, Aromatic & has just the perfect amount of curry flavor- and its good for you too!

Now its your turn to share your fantastic Seasonal Creations!

I have made one little change to rule #3 – give that a quick once over.

Here are the Rules:

1. Recipes must contain one Seasonal Ingredient (See below for the list of foods that are currently in season)
2. You may link up old or new recipes. Wonderful food is always worth sharing! Feel free to share up to 6 recipes each week.
3. Gluten Free Recipes are NOT required- this event is meant to inspire ideas for all. However I do ask that if your recipe is Gluten Free that you give it the “GF” Label.
4. Please include a link to your blog in reference to Seasonal Sundays so that your readers may also participate.
