Samoa Pi ...

Every year around this time I see those Girl Scouts selling cookies and die a little inside. HONESTLY! So this year, prompted by the "Day of Pi", I decided to do what any glutard on a mission would do and bake a Girl Scout Samoa Pi. It's easy, simple and crazy good... Just remember to leave yourself enough time to let cool- 4- 24 hours (yes, you read that right)

Crust:
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
(mix the above well)
add:
- 1 1/4 cup all purpose GF flour
-  1/4 teaspoon salt

Cook at 350 for 10 minutes in a 9 inch pie dish. It will looked uncooked when you take it out- that's ok, it's going back in!

Filling:
layer in order:
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup shredded sweetened coconut
- 3/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup salted caramel sauce

Cook for 25 minutes

Top with 1 cup melted semi sweet chocolate chips drizzled :)
Let sit for at least 4 hours, up to 24 hours, so that pie can fully set.

Taste of Celiac fair is TODAY

NEW HAVEN — The Greater New Haven Celiac Group is holding its annual Taste of Celiac vendor fair this weekend.
The fair runs from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Sunday at the Annex YMA Club, 554 Woodward Ave.
Celiac disease is a digestive disorder in which consuming gluten triggers an immune system response that damages the small intestine. Unchecked, the disease can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications.
The fair will offer a variety of gluten-free foods for sampling and for purchase.
There is no cost for members of the GNHCG and the cost for non-members is $5. Kids younger than 18 are admitted free.
For more information, contact Lisa Turcotte at 860-984-4742 or send an e-mail to kayariley@yahoo.com.

Great Vendors (such as my favorite pasta: DePuma) will be there tasting and selling!
