"I'm a spud": Side Dishes

"I'm a spud"

I named this blog after my brother Ryan because he loves to be in the kitchen watching and helping me cook. The quote comes from when he was in high-school. I was helping him get ready for a school dance and he looked so handsome so I told him to go tell mom that he looked like a stud. Well, you can guess the rest...he went into the living room and proudly said, "Mom, I'm a spud!"
I LOVE to cook! I have compiled recipes for years. Some are passed down from family, others I have collected from friends, but most I have found, experimented with, and tweaked to make them gluten free or just the way I like it. Since I have been gluten free for 3 years now, the recipes on this blog will be gluten free but I'll also post the non-gluten free version of the ones that aren't naturally gluten free so you don't have to worry about buying the weird and expensive flours and other ingredients.
