I thoroughly enjoyed every single bite of gluten-free goodness created by our two talented chefs. (How cute are the little Brussels sprout wraps?!)

Bake at 350° for a few minutes. A new staple in our house!

    RonniLyn, thanks so much for such a wonderful post! It was a pleasure having you at the workshop. Thanks for taking so many food photos as well. It’s nice looking back at the pics and remembering the wonderful table conversation as we sat family-style to eat together. I’ve made that chia pudding several times since then. Keeping fresh with the seasons!
