It’s been over two years since it became necessary to convert recipes in my household to being gluten free. For the most part with some trial and a lot of error, I’ve been able to make most things gluten free and still enjoyable. Most things….but not cinnamon rolls.

We have an easy and delicious solution for that to share with our chums today!

So today we offer a suggestion that will be both simple to prepare and tasty on Thanksgiving or on any other Thursday for supper.
