Eating gluten-free can be expensive. Notice I said “can be”, but it doesn’t have to be. Nicole Hunn, author of Gluten-Free on a Shoestring, tackles gluten-free cooking and baking without breaking the bank in her first book, Gluten-Free on a Shoestring. The latest installment, Gluten-Free on a Shoestring Quick & Easy, shows us how to do the same, but quickly and easily. We are all busy, but that is no excuse to spend a fortune on gluten-free pre-packaged food and baked goods or get take-out on a regular basis. Check out how many recipes I marked to make in this book!

I truly enjoyed reading and cooking/baking from this book. My favorite, though, has to be the No-Bake Cheesecake. The recipe suggests using Schar Shortbread Cookies or Vanilla Wafer Bars, but I didn’t have either on hand. I ended up using Lucy’s Chocolate Merry Mint Cookies. I know, right? AH.MAZ.ING! I did omit the lemon juice since I was using mint cookies and added mini-chocolate chips on top. I may have hidden some of this away from Jon the food monster that lives in my house.
