    The warmer months provide a steady demand for light, easy salads. Quinoa is one of those great foods that taste great warm or cold and holds up well against the other unique flavors in this salad.  This great summertime salad offers a fresh and tangy alternative to more traditional pasta salads, with just a hint of sophistication. It's a great dish for picnics, potlucks and your own kitchen table.
    Ingredients:
    1 cup quinoa
    3 large celery stalks, thinly sliced
    1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
    3-4 radishes, thinly sliced
    ½ red onion, diced
    ¼ cup fresh dill, chopped
    1 cup crumbled feta cheese
    ¼ cup balsamic vinegar
    ½ cup olive oil
    2 cups water
    Salt and pepper to taste
    Directions:

    Recently, I've learned to love the lowly beet. The beet is a rich, earthy wonder. Served chilled in a salad, beets make the perfect summertime delight. This intense beet salad is accented with blood oranges, mint and feta cheese, makes a truly bold statement. Served over mixed greens, it is sure to delight your guests.
    Ingredients:
    6 medium beets
    4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    1 teaspoon salt
    1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
    5 blood oranges, peeled, cut into1/4-inch-thick slices
    1 cup pomegranate seeds (from one 11-ounce pomegranate)
    1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
    1 tablespoon finely chopped shallots
    1 teaspoon red wine vinegar
    1/2 cup feta cheese, crumbled
    12 mint leaves, sliced thin on the bias
    1 medium red onion, thinly sliced

    The fall harvest means the markets are packed with lots of juicy and delicious squash varieties. One of my favorite ways to enjoy the rich, earthy flavor of squash is in a rich, creamy squash soup. For that, I like to use the fabulous butternut squash. This soup is easy to make, hearty, nourishing, and delicious. It is wonderful fresh off the stove, or you can make it ahead of time and freeze it for later.
    Ingredients:
    2 pounds butternut squash, peeled, split lengthwise, seeded, and cut into 2x2-inch chunks
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    2 Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Golden Delicious apples, cored and split in half lengthwise
    1 quart gluten-free chicken broth
    ½ cup heavy cream
    ¼ teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
    1 tablespoon sugar
    salt and pepper to taste

      Can I trust the gluten free label if a product was made in a facility that also processes gluten?

      If you are super sensitive you may want to look for only Certified Gluten-Free Products, as @trents mentioned.

      Potato Intolerance

      Ok so know one knows about cross reactions from yeast,corn, potatoes, eggs, quinoa ,chocolate, milk, soy, and a few more I forgot. There all gluten free but share a similar structure to gluten proteins. I use to be able to eat potatoes but now all of a sudden I was stumped and couldn't figure it out when I got shortness of breath like I was suffocating....
