A Kitchen Item I Recommend to Everyone.

Whether you are buying a gift for someone or if you don’t have these items yourself, I believe that these 2- piece glass measuring cups are a “MUST-HAVE” in every kitchen!

These glass measuring cups are able to go in the microwave and are dishwasher safe which I love.

Whether you use these measuring cups for dry or wet ingredients they are handy.

I love using these measuring cups and I found them on Amazon.com for just $32.14 for the set of two.

If you enjoy cooking, or know someone that does, make sure they have these glass measuring cups…they are a kitchen essential in my book!

A Fast & Easy Gluten-Free Fruit Salad that Everyone will Love!

christyaustin1680

When it comes to a great gluten-free fruit salad, I have you covered.

I found this fruit salad recipe years ago, I made some tweaks, and today it is our “go-to” fruit salad.

This fruit salad just has a few ingredients (that I always keep on hand).

Even better, you can easily double the recipe for a large BBQ group –or keep it small for family dinner.

Fresh berries are great to use, however, if you don’t have access to fresh berries, the frozen berries are delicious as well.

Let me know if you make this fruit salad, it’s probably the recipe I have shared the most with people!

And the best part….it’s naturally gluten-free!

Enjoy!
