Gluten-free recipes

I had a request for some Gluten-free recipes so I got to working on that right away. I have had family members with Diabetes so there are a lot of recipes that are sugar free and gluten free around. I know watching my Pop Pop not being able to enjoy some of the foods we did was kind of heart breaking. I always wanted to make him something he would be able to enjoy as well as keeping it healthy for him. Sadly, my pop pop passed away on February 1st,2011. It was one of the worst days of my life and I will always try my best to make food that is all around healthy that works for everyone.
I came across this recipe and thought it sounded pretty delish! :p
