This is my first ever official Gluten Free post. Neither Grumpy or I need to eat gluten free, but the number of friends we have that do seems to have really grown. However, two things prompted me to make these goodies. Price Chopper and my friend Theresa.

How did Price Chopper prompt me? They invited me to a baking class that was going to feature two cookbook authors, one of them being Elizabeth Barone. Elizabeth is the author of Easy Gluten-Free Baking. and has her own website with free recipes.

I had photos of the event but since I loaded them onto my computer the hard drive has failed and I can't retrieve the photos. So, until Justin (my favorite computer programmer and wonderful son) tries to recover any data from the dead drive I don't have any of my files that were on my computer. Big lesson - back your computer files up every day that you use them because one day you may lose every one of them!

If I had to eat gluten free I wouldn't be missing out on anything when it came to whoopie pies! Even Grumpy said they were good (and more than once!)! This is definitely a recipe to make if your craving some goodies and can't eat gluten. I believe I made my friend Theresa, who was visiting me and who is gluten free, very happy! Grumpy will be taking a few of them to a co-worker who is gluten free and who doesn't get to eat the other goodies I send with him to work.

Thank you to Price Chopper for the invitation, my registration fee was comped in exchange for blogging.
