Grain-Free Real Food Linky Carnival

gluten-free, grain-free, wheat-free

Welcome to the special grain-free linky carnival! This carnival will be open for entries the entire 28 days of the grain-free challenge. Feel free to link multiple great recipes and articles pertaining to grain-free issues and grain-free living. This page should serve as a resource page for everyone interested in grain-free living, even if you are not involved in the actual challenge.  The linky will close after 28 days, however, it will always be here as a reference and source for great real food grain-free recipes. Let’s have some fun!

The Rules are simple:

1 — No grains or artificial ingredients in the recipes. No wheat, barley, rye, oats, buckwheat, corn, spelt, teff, kamut, quinoa, millet, amaranth, sorghum, triticale or rice. Nothing commercially canned, packaged or processed. No fake foods. No soy or tofu, no artificial sweeteners like Splenda, no bad fats like margarine, soybean or corn oil. You get the idea.

2 — Provide a link back to this post on your site (a common courtesy).

3 — Please do not make me delete any non real food or non grain-free linkups. Please don’t link them here. This is a special carnival just for grain-free issues.

4 — Please link the URL of your actual blog post and not your blog’s home page.

5 — Be kind and come back and leave a comment after linking up. And check out some of the links. There is a wealth of knowledge here.

    Hi Jill, I love the idea of creating a grain free resource like this. I bet everyone is going to have a ton of recipes to share! I’ve shared my breakfast smoothie, breakfast sausage and chicken liver pate recipes, and plan to add a couple more.

    Thanks

    Thanks for doing this!!!  This list of recipes will help make life (and eating) a little easier.  It’s always nice to have recipes that I can just use instead of having to adapt them for special diet restrictions.

    Great carnival idea! I added my grain, gluten and sugar free macaroon recipe. I make this often and they are so easy and delicious.

    I am excited to look at what other people are baking. I have been trying to reduce our grain and then my mill died, so I am being pushed into it. I may try a hardcore grain purge but since baking is a serious must (better than Prozac) I need some options. Thanks for the linky, Jill!

    I posted a grain free cookie that is not only yummy, but also has the texture and crumb one would expect of a macaroon-type cookie. I can’t wait to check out all these grain free recipes!
