Adventures of a Gluten-Free Foodie

Double Chocolate Love Cookies, by Mary’s Gone Crackers March 16, 2011

What’s better than double chocolate? Double chocolate cookies made with LOVE and are also gluten-free, organic, kosher, non-gmo, vegan, dairy-free, wheat free, (i.e. allergy friendly), made with low glycemic sweeteners, have no hydrogenated oils and no trans-fats.

 

Yeah, really.

 

And they actually taste really good!  They are very satisfying to me, since its hard to find good gluten-free cookies, but lately I’ve also had to go dairy free, which makes life even more difficult. So I am very thankful for these cookies from Mary’s Gone Crackers, who actually sent them to me for free, all because I re-tweeted one of their tweets, looking for more followers!  That was a very sweet thank you.

But not only did I enjoy them, because they are probably one of the few cookies that I can eat, my children enjoyed them too, and as of yet they have no food allergies, so they can taste the difference between a gluten-y, dairy cookie and an allergy-free one.  My 21-month-old daughter enjoyed the cookies so much, she actually perfected her first three-word sentence last night:  ”one more cookie.”  Then continued to dance around the house chanting the phrase over and over, either very proud of her ability to speak sentences, or just wholly satisfied by a double chocolate cookie made with love (allergy-friendly or not!).

Thanks Mary’s Gone Crackers!

 

 

Personalized, gluten-free chocolates by Royston Broadley February 2, 2011

Are you looking for a special treat for your love this Valentine’s Day? Here’s a sweet idea:  Royston Broadley in the UK makes personalized gifts for special occasions, including gluten-free chocolates. He was sweet enough to send a free sample to me here in Houston, and since we are having a bit of a cold snap (24 degrees today, with rolling power outtages happening frequently) there was no worry about them melting on my doorstep!

We got to sample both the chocolate covered peanuts, and the Amaretto chocolate hearts. The chocolate covered peanuts make a perfect mid-morning snack and went nicely with my coffee. Unfortunately for me, I am avoiding dairy these days, so I gave the task of sampling the chocolate hearts to my husband and son. They did not hesitate!  ”Oh man!” said Luke (my three-year-old). “These are scrumptious!” (Note the use of a new vocabulary word that he learned on Sesame Street :) ).  My husband seconded his opinion, with a simple “Wow,” which I took to mean that they were delicious beyond words.

So if you are looking for something sweet, special, and gluten-free, check out Royston’s personalized gifts. You might just find the perfect Valentine’s gift.
