Fruity Pebble Crispies

Another great find in my fashion mags was a cluster of articles baking with kids cereal.  This cereal just happens to be gluten-free! It's not one of those bland cereals that your children will hate, it's Fruity Pebbles.  This cereal has been around for a long time, and for a long time it was gluten-free.  This is a safe cereal for your kids.  I also found this in the Feb. 2011 issue of InStyle Magazine.  This is a colorful festive treat that's great for groups or on the go.  Who can go wrong with bars? 

Serves 8-10

1 10 oz. bag mini marshmallows
4 tbsp. (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
11 cups Fruity Pebbles crunch  (see below recipe)
2 sprigs fresh thyme or lemon verbena for garnish

1.  In a microwave, heat marshmallows and butter on high in a large microwave-safe bowl for 2-3 minutes, stirring intermittently with a wooden spoon until mixture is completely melted and smooth.  

2.  Pour Fruity Pebbles Crunch on top of marshmallow mixture; stir until cereal is coated.

3.  Spread 1/2 inch layer of mixture into a greased 9-inch x 13-inch baking pan; allow to cool completely.

4.  Sprinkle with thyme or lemon verbena leaves, torn into small pieces.

5.  Cut into rectangles and serve

Fruity Pebbles Crunch Recipe


1 1/2 cups unsalted butter
4 3/4 cups Envior Kids Cereal (original recipe called for Captain Crunch, and Captain Crunch is not gluten-free-I swapped a cereal that I know will lend itself to this recipe), lightly crushed with hands to half the volume.
1/3 cup sugar
1 tbsp salt  (that's a lot in my opinion, but you as the taster can gauge what you need)
4 tbsp nonfat milk powder

Instructions:

1. Heat oven to 275 degrees.  2. Melt butter In a microwave-safe bowl (about 45 seconds).  3.  Toss dry ingredients to distribute evenly.  4.  Add melted butter and toss again so ingredients adhere to one another.  5.  Spread 1/2 inch layer of mixture on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.  6.  Bake for 20 minutes until it begins to brown.  7.  Remove from oven, cool completely, and break into dime-size clusters before using.


Enjoy!  xoxo Julie

Not All Advil Is Gluten-Free!!!

After last night's POST , GF Advil was on my mind and I decided to call Advil/Pfizer this morning to get some more clarification.  In response to my post last night I advised through the website that Advil Liqui-gels, Advil Migraine and Advil Liqui-Gels PM contain a wheat derivative.  After my phone call with a lovely representative I received more information. - ALL ADVIL LIQUI-GELS contain a wheat derivative .   ALL LIQUI-GELS.  So stop these immediately if you are taking the Liqui-gels.  You maybe getting sick from a medication rather then a food and this is so important to recognize!  Just steer clear of Liqui-Gels. -ALL FORMS OF ADVIL MIGRAINE contain gluten .  There is no further information if it is just the Liqui-Gels or the Tablets, Caplets and Gel-Caps.  Pfizer does not have this info therefore they informed me to steer clear of all Advil Migraine pills. Here is what IS GLUTEN-FREE FROM ADVIL: All Advil Tablets, Gel-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain.

Magnolia Bakery-Cream Cheese Frosting

Another amazing frosting recipe from Magnolia!  I swear by these recipes, this is my go-to book for icing when I bake!! 1 pound (two 8-ounce packages) cream cheese, softened and cut into small pieces 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, softened and cut into small pieces 1 1/2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 5 cups sifted confectioners' sugar In a large bowl, on the medium speed of an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and butter until smooth, about 3 minutes.  Add the vanilla and beat well.  Gradually add the sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating continuously until smooth and creamy.  Cover and refrigerate icing for 2-3 hours, but no longer, to thicken before using. Makes enough for one 2-or 3-layer 9-inch cake Enjoy! xoxo Julie www.goodiegoodiegluten-free.blogspot.com
