Some recipes change your world. This is one of them because these Gluten Free Blondies are the epitome of pure perfection in a bar–chewy/crisp, not overly sweet, crunchy with nuts and toasted coconut, and speckled with warm, melty chocolate.
These Gluten Free Blondies are truly divine and one of my favorite recipes I’ve ever created. They go perfectly with a tall glass of ice cold (organic) milk or a cup of strong coffee. If you take them to a summer barbecue, picnic or potluck I guarantee they will be the hit of the party! Or, tuck them…

Lasagna with Meatballs, Spinach and Béchamel
Doesn’t that just warm your heart on these cold winter days? Hot, cheesy and wonderful, a classic lasagna with homemade meatballs and sauce and a creamy layer of Béchamel underneath to make it extra wonderful. Don’t be scared by Béchamel sauce. It’s a super easy white sauce with a little nutmeg added in. It adds a wonderful richness to the lasagna that takes a classic comfort food to a whole new level. Once you try it, you may never go back!
Tomato Soup & Grilled Cheese Croutons
What’s more comforting than a rich bowl of creamy, warm tomato soup? Maybe with a little sass added to it, a few ingredients to kick it up a bit. A dash of basil, a glug of heavy cream, a pinch of crushed red pepper, a smidge of sundried tomatoes. Blend it all together, put grilled cheese croutons on top and you’ve got dinner worthy, guest worthy soup. And it’s soup-er easy to put together. In fact, I bet you already have most of the ingredients in your pantry right now!
Mushroom Lasagna-Easy, Rich and Decadent!
And amazingly, married to an Italian as I am, there is no red sauce, no ricotta, no mozzarella but boy, oh boy is there incredible flavor. Savory bites of mushroom, creamy nutmeg scented béchamel (which is just a fancy name for white sauce), a hint of garlic and lots of freshly grated parmesan cheese. It’s not low calorie but it might just make you swoon. It freezes brilliantly if you have some left over. Which I sincerely doubt. It’s the perfect vegetarian option for your Thanksgiving feast. Rich and creamy and supremely decadent. Even the turkey lovers will want a piece!
