Pillsbury Gluten Free Multi-Purpose Gluten Free Flour Blend-A REVIEW

admin June 29, 2016 1 Comment

So, I’m pretty fussy about my gluten free flours. And you should be too! Don’t settle on your flours. They can make or break your recipe! So, I’m here to inform you that you can save your money and NOT BUY the Pillsbury Gluten Free Multi-Purpose Gluten Free Flour Blend. This blend simply does not work. I couldn’t get it to work with several different types of recipes. Recipes...

Udi’s Gluten Free Thin & Crispy Pizza Crusts

admin February 9, 2016 0 Comments

Disclaimer: I was not asked to write this nor was I compensated. I pretty much skip over the gluten free sections of grocery stores and stick to naturally gluten free foods. Or I make it myself. It is more cost efficient and much healthier. However, I did feel like giving these Udi's Thin & Crispy Pizza Crusts a try. They are gluten free, as well as soy, nut and dairy free! They do...

Gluten and Allergen Free Wellness Event Recap

admin June 2, 2014 0 Comments

I attended the Gluten and Allergen Free Wellness Event in St. Louis on Saturday. It was fun! There were speakers to listen to if you wished, and there were quite a few vendors there. Some I had heard of, but many I have not. We ate lots of samples…enough that we could skip lunch that day. Some of the standby companies were Enjoy Life and Udi’s. Just a few of the new products I found out about...

Allergic Solution All Purpose Mix

admin May 5, 2014 0 Comments

Allergic Solution is a food company that makes allergy free foods. I first wrote about their baking mixes here. They recently developed an all-purpose baking mix and sent me a package to bake with. (I was not compensated for this and my opinions are my own). First some basics; this blend contains no rice, but rather sorghum, tapioca and navy bean. I have never seen a navy bean flour, so this was...

Sweet Debbie’s Organic Treats Allergy-Free & Vegan Recipes from the Famous Los Angeles Bakery – Cookbook Review

admin April 26, 2014 0 Comments

I love cookbooks. So when Debbie Adler, author of Sweet Debbie’s Organic Treats Allergy-Free & Vegan Recipes from the Famous Los Angeles Bakery, sent me a complimentary copy I was thrilled. Debbie is the owner of Sweet Debbie’s Organic Cupcakes in L.A. If I’m ever in Los Angeles…I’m heading to that bakery for sure! I like to read cookbooks almost like a novel…from front...

Lucy’s Cookies-Product Review

admin March 27, 2014 0 Comments

Lucy’s is a cookie company that reached out to me and offered to send me some cookies to review. Who can say “no” to that? So while I received cookies, I did not receive compensation and opinions are my own. For starters, I like to term Lucy’s cookies as allergy friendly rather than allergy free. They are gluten free, peanut free, tree nut free, milk free and egg free. However,...

In their upcoming issue you will find out how dogs can protect young ones from developing allergies as well as find allergy free cookies and bars, super smoothies, green salads, plus so much more. You can subscribe to the magazine here. While I was not paid for...

Rice Milk Powder

admin November 18, 2013 1 Comment

Have you ever seen recipes that call for soy milk powder? I have seen a lot of those recipes. While we do not have allergies to soy, we like to avoid it most of the time (it mimics estrogen way too much). For whatever reason, I have never seen it stated anywhere that one could use rice milk powder. I did not even know there was such a thing until I was dairy free for over a year. So...

Fun Finds Friday – Van’s Natural Foods Crackers – Product Review

admin October 18, 2013 1 Comment

I have not tried too many gluten free crackers. Many seem to have milk or eggs in them. A few times I have tried to eat rice crackers. But they are like cardboard wafers. Not something that resembles a wheat cracker at all. Then I found these crackers made by Van’s Natural Foods at a Wal-Mart, but later have requested my local grocer to carry them and now they are. I purchased these...

Better Than Milk Powdered Rice Milk – Product Review

admin October 1, 2013 0 Comments

Did you know there is such a thing as powdered rice milk? Over the years I have seen recipes here and there calling for powdered soy milk. Since we like to avoid soy, I looked to see if I could find powdered rice milk. And there is; it is pictured below. It is difficult to find. I’ve only found it in one, out of the way store and it was expensive. However, it is available online at...
