Over the next four weeks, I’ll be sharing a series of short “How To” videos to show you step-by-step how to make my 12 personal favorites from our first year here at GlutenFreeGigi.com.

This week, we begin with three recipes that are perfect for your gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free brunch or breakfast table.

Each of these quick and easy dishes is low in fat and high in nutrition, making them ideal choices for your busy gluten free life.

Not only will I show you how simple these dishes are to make, I’ll show you exactly how budget-friendly healthy eating can be by providing cost per serving for each dish.

Affordability never tasted so good!

First, find out how simple it is to make your own homemade fruit spread with my...


1-ingredient Homemade Jam (Blueberry Jam) 
(Click to open a new page with my "Naked Berry Bread Spread" recipe from the website.)

Gluten Free Gigi Tip: You can keep it super-affordable by using your favorite in-season fresh fruit.

Makes approximately 1 1/2 cups
Serving Size = 2 Tablespoons
Cost per serving: $0.60

Next up on our healthy brunch menu are my...

Spinach Squares 
(Click to open a new page with my "Spinach Squares" recipe from the website.)

In addition to containing loads of necessary vitamins and minerals, nutrient-dense spinach is full of health-protecting antioxidants, shown to reduce the risk of certain cancers and other diseases. What’s even better, especially for those with Celiac Disease, is spinach contains certain anti-inflammatory substances that help protect digestive tract lining and reduce inflammation!

Makes nine 2 1/2–inch squares
Serving Size = 2 squares
Cost per serving: $1.00

Finally, rounding out our brunch, we have my unique...

Baked Quinoa
(Click to open a new page with my "Baked Quinoa" recipe from the website.)

Discover a great way to add more whole grain and a protein punch to your diet with quick-cooking quinoa! This ancient grain is one of the healthiest (and tastiest!) ways to consume a complete protein, which makes it ideal for vegans and vegetarians! Quinoa is also rich in iron, a mineral many with Celiac Disease are deficient in.

Makes approximately eight 1/2 cup servings
Serving Size = 1/2 cup
Cost per serving: $1.16
