The Belles are thrilled to present a fabulous cookbook we have had the opportunity to review: “Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free” written by Amy Green. We are huge fans of her blog, so when we found out she published a cookbook – we knew we had to share it on our blog!
Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free contains over 180 recipes, 140 of which have never been published on her blog. This is the perfect cookbook for those suffering from Celiac disease or those looking to cut down on their gluten consumption. And we can all benefit from reducing our gluten intake and of course our refined sugar intake. I am shocked at how much sugar sneaks into my day.

Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert recipes for all occasions!
Each recipe includes a “Quick Tip” and many recipes contain options for making recipes dairy-free-which is a huge help for those of looking to cut out or cut down on our dairy consumption (me!). The book includes plenty of vegan options!
