Karina calls herself a “gluten-free goddess,” and it’s not hard to see why. The experienced chef and visual artist from New Mexico maintains a visually stunning recipe blog and has published three successful cookbooks. Her recipes look beautiful and sound amazing: vegan pumpkin pie with a buckwheat crust, agave and lime salmon, pineapple salsa chicken enchilandas, etc. And if you don’t have the time or willpower to cook, Karina also gives a lot of informative tips on food options. A blog post on the different types of sugar she uses inspired a spirited discussion in the comments section about whether Splenda is an artificial sweetener or not (it is) and where the ultra-sweet herb Stevia tastes best (in coffee).

From a gluten-free blog reader’s perspective, however, the ultimate usefulness of the site is its lengthy list describing dozens of gluten-free blogs by the bloggers themselves.

Are you torn between your love for ice cream and healthy eating? GaGa’s gluten-free Sherbetter may be just your thing. Sherbetter contains more butterfat than sherbet but less than ice cream, leading to a smooth texture, intense  flavor… and less calories. Triumph Dining tasters loved lemon Sherbetter, which GaGa reports outsold every flavor of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream at Whole Foods one year.  You can find GaGa mostly on the East Coast in high-end stores for $4.70 a pint.

An interesting sidenote: the Providence Journal reports that GaGa founder John King recently turned down an order request from an Atlanta-based convenience store chain because the chain’s own research showed that its customers “don’t care about all-natural products.”
