Seasonal Sunday (03-13-11)

Happy Seasonal Sunday.

This week I would like to Spotlight my friend Christine known as Bean- the writer of a favorite blog of mine titled Without Adorment.  This girl can cook and covers multiple food allergies- love her for this! check out her complete recipe list. Just the cake recipes alone will be enough to make you an instant.  Her beautiful photo’s are just an added plus. Check out her recipe from last week: Gluten Free/Vegan Potato Bread.

 

This week I’m sharing a simple, easy wonderful smoothie to start any day on the right foot.

Its Icy, Perfectly spiced and Light.

Dairy Free Vanilla-Chai Banana Smoothie

and now of course its YOUR turn..

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 in your blog in reference to Seasonal Sundays so that your readers may also participate.
