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

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

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...
