I crave lemon flavoring in the summer time.

Growing up my favorite dessert was this Lemon Lush Dessert. Thankfully, with some tweaking we were able to create this recipe to be completely gluten-free!

christyaustin1680

I have mentioned this before, but be careful of gluten found in seasonings.

For those that are quite sensitive to gluten, you’d be surprised how many seasoning are not gluten-free.

My suggestion to you, is to to on Amazon and get a bulk order of gluten-free seasoning.

In our home, we use this McCormicks Gluten-free Taco Seasoning quite often. So it just makes sense to have it on hand.

This 12-pack is only $16.99, which is a great deal for a great brand.

Also, add this seasoning to your food storage too, it’s one that lasts for a while too.

What are some of your favorite gluten-free seasonings?

Would love to hear!
