Summer Treat-Pinkberry Frozen Yogurt



Whomever lives in NYC, must be dying right now!! The heat is unreal, I think today it is a whopping 107 degrees!!  Just yesterday I walked home and was ready to DROP! It was sooo hot, I had a heat rash on my face!  I couldn't believe it!!  The news is alerting New Yorkers to stay hydrated, drink plenty of water!! And eat tasty frozen treats...Today at the office we are ordering Pinkberry!  Yum, and their summer flavors look sooo good like Salted Caramel and Watermelon.  In addition to their standard Original flavor, Chocolate, Coconut, Vanilla, Mango and Pomegranate.  Even their Parfait's are gluten-free!! Woo hoo!  Each flavor varies in calories, however in general it is 100 calories per 1/2 cup. 

Now the toppings are another story.  Don't forget about cross contamination!  Mochi is gf.  You are safe with fruity pebbles, fresh fruit and coconut.  You are also safe with the liquid toppings.  Everything else including chocolate, nuts, gummies, yougurt chips, cookies, crackers and cheesecake bites etc are not gluten free.  Nuts and chocolate, you must worry about cross contamination, you don't know what brands they are and what they are contaminated with.  Be careful.

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...
