Gluten Free Recipes from 2017

I can’t believe 2018 is just around the corner. Like, where did 2017 go?! It flew by way too quickly!

As always, beginning a new year means looking back and reflecting. I do this every year to see what has been working on this blog and what I can do better. It helps my set my goals for next year.

With my busy schedule as a mom with two littles, I had to cut back to posting once a week instead of running myself ragged trying to post twice a week. I think that was probably one of the best decisions I’ve made. It allowed me to focus more on quality vs. quantity in more ways than one.

Not only have my recipes been better (which is a natural progression anyways as you learn and grow while baking gluten free), but my photography has improved, I was able to update some older posts with new photos and tweak the recipes as needed, and I’ve even been able to add some videos here and there.

I was able to focus on some important recipes that people are really looking for and food people really want to eat. I was also able to sprinkle in some fun recipes for foods that I really love. I think it ended up being a tasty balance!

While I have also mostly phased out dinner recipes this year, some of my most popular recipes here are actually for savory recipes like my Crock Pot Chicken Teriyaki, Slow Cooker Taco Chili, and my Ham and Cheese Quiche (which is also for breakfast/brunch). So I’m wondering – is that still something you guys want to see more of? Should I bring back the dinners/savory meals?

My heart is in gluten free baking and gluten free desserts as well as simple things like cocktails and satisfying breakfasts. I’d love to know your thoughts! I’ll also be sending out my annual reader survey via my email newsletter in January. If you don’t want to comment here, feel free to wait and take the survey next month!

Since I was reflecting and looking back on recipes from this past year, I put together a roundup of the best gluten free recipes I published in 2017. There are so many here that I absolutely love and a few of them are made regularly. Enjoy!

  1. Gluten Free Banana Bread – This is, hands down, one of the most-made recipes in my house. We always have over-ripe bananas and this is our favorite quick and easy way to use them up. I may or may not always buy extra bananas just to bake with them though…
