CookieLovers Review


 Last year, July 9th to be exact I did a post on Red Mango's new GF Cookie topping.  I have not seen this GF cookie topping in nyc, only in Long Island so far.  I usually frequent the Wheatly Plaza location in Roslyn.  Recently I found myself there again.  After an appointment I was starving.  I went to Wheatly Plaza sat down and had a size medium half Raspberry Cheesecake/Original flavor with GF cookie crumble.  It was delicious.   As I was waiting on line, I got chatty with the Manager of that location.  We were talking gluten-free.


From what I hear the baker behind the GF wonder is a close personal friend of his.  And they now carry her Banana Bread, Carrot Cake Bread and Pumpkin Bread.  I tasted the pumpkin bread, it was amazing, along with like 5 additional gf cookies, not including the crumble that saturated my fro yo.  Oye!  I even made my dad who is not gluten free eat them.  We all loved them.  I have been loving these cookies for a while but never got around to blogging about them.  Her baked goods are gourmet, and they do contain egg, soy and they are not kosher but they are gluten-free and casein-free.  Her baked goods go by the name of GlutenFreeCookieLovers.com.  Check out her story!

In addition to her chocolate chip cookies, banana sweet bread, Pumpkin sweet bread, and carrot sweet bread, this family also bakes zucchini sweet bread and date nut sweet bread.  Sweet!  All baked goods are made in a Celiac safe kitchen.  You can also follow this team on facebook and twitter.

 They come in delightful little containers with pink dots.  The execution of their packaging is adorable.  Their website is great.  It is inviting, which is most important.  It tells a true story.  A struggle like most of us diagnosed have had.  They are a family joined together because of their daughter's illness that was finally diagnosed.  A big Italian family who loves to have huge celebrations and eat tons of pasta, now had a huge obstacle in their lives.  A Celiac daughter.  What to do.  Gather the family and bake till you find the perfect cookie.  Turn it into a business and sell world-wide.  Three cheers for this family, taking a negative and turning it into a positive.  We all know how Italians love there food, you better believe these cookies rock just based on that!  You can even order online!  And if you are curious which location sells your newest favorite indulgence click here.  Curious of their shipping policies?  Click here.

So there you have it.  Another amazing GF baked good find!  I hope you all try this amazing baked goods!  I kid you not, it's so worth it!

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...

What's in The Gatorade You Are Drinking?

I don't know why I never blogged about this, but I have known it for some time.  And was just reminded of this the other day while I was at CVS and felt the need to spread the gluten-free word.  I also tweeted it. Did you know that certain Gatorade flavors like the fruit punch (red) flavor has caramel coloring in it?  Yup! It totally does. In the U.S. a processed product considered gluten-free has 20 or below 20ppm ( parts per million ).  Therefore products can seem gluten-free and even say gluten-free, even if they are not 100% gluten-free because our standards allow that and consider it Gluten-Free.   And different processed foods contain different levels of gluten-some contain less then 10ppm or even 5 parts per million.  That's lower but still...no cigar. The less you consume the better and the article I just found on Celiacdisease.about.com  points that the more under 20ppm/10/5ppm products you consume, the more gluten in your system...
