Guest Blog Post with Cajun Chef Ryan

I was truly honored when Cajun Chef Ryan decided to promote my blog recipe. Yesterday, My Wandering Spoon had guest blog post with my new recipe and dough creation.
“Amaranth Cups with Rhubarb Pecan filling” is amazing recipe. Cups are light with crunchy texture outside, fluffy inside and filling is truly wonderful. This recipe is gluten free. I always keep that in mind and love to create new and different desserts and more that everybody can enjoy.
