Lazy Afternoon GF Summer Fruity Ice Pops

**Found in July 2012 Glamour Magazine

Meet Neesa Peterson of NYC's Imperial Woddpecker and NYC food stylist Susan Sugarman and Kirsten Schimoler, who develops flavors for Ben and Jerry's in Vermont.  "You can have dessert and stay in shape for bathing suit season!" says Schimoler.  It's all in moderation".  We have a feeling you are going to LOVE these perfectly portioned treats.

Makes 10 each 



Lemon and Thyme Ice Pops

In a saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar, 3/4 cup water and 1- springs thyme.  Place over medium-high heat, and bring to a boil until sugar is dissolved, 3-5 minutes.  Remove from heat, and let steep for about 45 minutes.  Strain the sugar syrup and discard thyme.  Add 2 1/4 cups lemon juice (from about 20 lemons).
For all pops: soar wooden sticks before starting (1 hour).  Pour mixture into molds, add stick, and freeze 4-5 hours overnight.

Watermelon and Ginger Ice Pops

In a saucepan, combine 2/3 cup sugar, 2/3 cup water, and a 4-inch piece of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced.  Boil mixture until sugar dissolves; remove from heat, and let steep for about 45 minutes.  Strain, and discard ginger.  In a blender, puree the fruit from a 4 pound seedless watermelon.  Pour into a fine strainer set over a large bowl, and press out liquid, discarding the flesh.  Stir in the sugar syrup.  Pour into molds and freeze.

Blueberries and Cream Ice Pops (not vegan-vegetarian)

In a saucepan, combine 1 pound blueberries, 3/4 cup sugar, and 3/4 cup water.  Place over medium-high heat.  Cook mixture until sugar is dissolved and blueberries are soft, about 10 minutes.  Let cool; then pour into a fine strainer set over a large bowl, and press out liquid, discarding the flesh.  Stir in 1/2 cup heavy cream.  Pour into molds, and freeze.


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...
