Czech cookies look so wonderful! I'm trying to find gluten free recipes that will be similar!<br /><br />Have a very happy and Merry Christmas--to you and your loved ones!<br /><br />SherSherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049105010678817891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390842085053516182.post-47223299035887332202009-12-07T07:07:54.671+01:002009-12-07T07:07:54.671+01:00Hi Karen,

And yes--the Internet is also a wonderful place to find new recipes for free! I am a gluten-free person. The cookbooks for GF diets are pretty expensive, but there are so many high-quality recipes online for free that it's not been necessary to buy a cookbook in 7 years! :0) <br /><br />Have a great day!<br />Sher :0)Sherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13049105010678817891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7390842085053516182.post-28032908568440636322009-11-30T22:58:57.397+01:002009-11-30T22:58:57.397+01:00Hi Sher,

And I've experimented with many dishes thanks to recipes available online. :)<br /><br />Glad your Thanksgiving was saved :)*lynne*http://amalaysianabroad.today.com/noreply@blogger.com
