The last of the series for what we made over the weekend! Fear not, because we have a couple more meals planned. I set up a Google doc and everything. :O So far, we have plans to make gluten-free fig & goat cheese pizza, a spinach cranberry salad, gluten-free cornbread (my friend is on an elimination diet), some kind of unique chili, and pear cranberry ginger snap crumble. :D!
Recipe adapted from here!

Monika did a fishtail braid on me! I need to learn how to do something other than a low ponytail, so I may start with this.
