Nut Butter Lovers

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

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-Caps ( which are different then Li

Hot Chocolate Coffee

Sometimes I feel like there are days only chocolate would understand.  And following a strict Paleo diet does not allot for chocolate eating.  Especially chocolate with added dried cane sugar.  And especially in abundance.  Of course special occasions allot for this type of activity, but today is not that day. So how do you put a sock in your chocolate craving?  Well, simply remove your sock from your foot and put it in your chocolate.  I'm kidding!  Please use a clean sock! Kidding again!!… Often, chocolate cravings can get the best of us, so I created a delicious recipe to kick my craving and your craving.  It's delicious.  And it's perfect for the lover of coffee and chocolate.  Taking a sip of this sent signals of pure decadence to my brain.

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
