Raspberry Salad/Dessert- GLUTEN FREE

Christmas Beautiful

I remember my Mother making this salad but with strawberries. I love strawberries but lately the raspberries in the markets have been so fresh and pretty, I decided to try fresh raspberries, and it was delicious as well as beautiful. Added feature is the sugared raspberry and the touch of mint. ​

Glutino  Pretzels

There are a couple brands of gluten free pretzels on the market now and they are all very tasty. I have never been a fan of pretzels, but gluten free pretzels are crispier and really good.
