GAHIGF Seasonal Vegetables Roundup

While Straight into Bed Cakefree and Dried Naomi, the Founder of the Go Ahead, Honey, It's Gluten Free, takes stock after a holiday in France, I am pleased as guest host to offer a roundup of colorful vegetable recipes. The theme for this round of GAHIGF was Seasonal Vegetables (fruits also cheerfully accepted). We had fifteen participants, all of whom made a rainbow of gorgeous, healthy, gluten-free treats which I now present for your delectation, arranged according to color.

PURPLE

Jai and Bee of the vegetarian food blog Jugalbandi produced beautiful purple potato crisps in the microwave.


Ivy from Athens, Greece, maintains the food blog Kopiaste, with lots of great Greek, Cypriot and from-scratch recipes. She contributed Spicy Baked Eggplants.



RED

Karen, the Gluten-Free Sox Fan, consulted with Marcella Hazan and whipped up a batch of Home-Made Tomato Sauce from her own tomatoes and basil.


Cheryl at Gluten-Free Goodness also made use of an abundance of homegrown tomatoes with Roasted Tomato and Caramelized Onion Soup.


ORANGE

Naomi of Straight Into Bed Cakefree and Dried found time for her blog baby and made a Velvet Squash Soup and Bread from one sexy looking squash.


SPEAKING OF SEXY VEGETABLES......
