Gluten Free 4th of July Recipes

cPT_Helice

I'm planning a BBQ and looking for good dessert and sides ideas that are both gluten free and low cal. I'm currently doing a tossed salad, cucumber/melon/mint salad, sliced berries plate and thinking of trying to do a gf cake with homemade whiiped cream and berries.

Happy 4th!

Don't forget to make some watermelon slushies! Freeze some watermelon chunks if you can to add to your regular watermelon and ice cubes in a blender and make them kid friendly or adult happy with vodka! I even put some mint leaves in mine. Kind of on the fence with the mint, but love the watermelon slushies! No sweetener needed just watermelon and ice!

Google Gluten Free Goddess. Tons of yummy GF deserts on there. I'm making GF cherry cobbler for our picnic.

Might have to try the watermelon slushy, too.

And bbq using "bone suckin sauce"


I usually make this calorie bomb:

Lately I have been using sunchokes instead of potatoes sometimes, which is good.


And tonight I ate this which was great:

Another idea ~ jello with cool whip (if you like it.) My kids love it and it's mostly water. I make the sugar free kind so I can have it too.
