Nut Butter Lovers

**found in Oprah Magazine, April 2012 Issue

Spread It On THICK...GF Style

Creamy versus crunchy is only the beginning.  The abundance of new and inventive nut butters means choosing a favorite stick to the roof of your mouth salty-sweet spread has never been more delicious.  These six will help you get your fix.

1.  Artisana Organic Raw Cashew Butter is superrich and naturally sweet.  Try piping it into Medjool dates for hors d'oeuvre, or thin a few spoonfuls with coconut milk and a pinch of cayenne pepper for an easy stir-fry sauce.  **This brand is certified Kosher (KSA).  **This butter is also peanut-free.

2.  Stir Saratoga Peanut Butter Company Adirondack Jack-a 50-50 blend of peanuts and almonds, mixed with sunflower seeds, almonds, peanuts, cranberries, flaxseeds, cinnamon and honey-into GF oatmeal for a silkier texture.

3.  Justin's Chocolate Hazelnut Butter has a short, all-natural ingredient list of strikingly nutty flavor.  Perfect for smearing between chocolate wafers for a semi-homeade cookie sandwich.  Make sure the wafer you choose is gluten-free.

4. Proof that almond butter doesn't have to be gritty?: Barney Butter is as creamy as your childhood peanut butter and a natural pairing with anything crisp, like sliced pears or celery sticks.

5.  You can spread the ultra smooth Peanut Butter and Co. White Chocolate Wonderful peanut butter on still-warm-from-the-oven-brownies for an instant icing.  Or you can have out of the jar with nothing but a spoon and a craving.  **I have done this! Divine!

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...
