3 Easy GF Dip Recipes

**found in March 2012 Real Simple Magazine

Let's start with our favorite GF Greek Yogurt.  Mine is Fage 0 percent and add some pizazz to our usual snack and make dip for entertaining!  Or just a great healthy snack!! Yum, yum!

GF Lemon-Horseradish Dip
1 Cup (or individual Greek Yogurt container) with 2 tbsp. horseradish and 1 tsp. grated lemon zest.  In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, horseradish, lemon zest, 1/2 tsp kosher salt, and 1/4 tsp. black pepper.  Serve with beet chips or some other veggie chip.  Serves 6.
(smart-tip-Skip the packaged dips or powdered dips that you just add sour cream, because those are not gluten-free.  For sure those packets are not, as they use agents and thickeners that are never gluten-free, and the it's so hard to recognize the wording they use for gluten.  Make your own.)

Spinach-Pesto Dip
1 Cup (or individual Greek Yogurt container) with 1/2 10-ounce package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry and 1/4 cup gf pesto.  In a small bowl, mix together the yogurt, spinach, pesto, and 1/4 tsp. each kosher salt and black pepper.  Sere with cut-up veggies.  Serves 6.  (Curious about fresh spinach?  If you want to use fresh spinach, know that you will need 10-12 cups of torn fresh leaves cooked down which will be the equivalent of 1 1/2 cups).

Sweet Raspberry Dip
1 Cup (or individual Greek Yogurt container) with 1/2 cup fresh or (thawed) frozen raspberries and 1 tbsp. sugar.  In a small bowl, mash the raspberries with the sugar; stir in the yogurt.  Serve with cut-up pears.  Serves 6.

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...

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

The Original Fudgsicle Mishap

                             My Grocery Cart About 3 months ago I was in the market as usual,  doing my weekly grocery shopping, in the second to last row: the freezer section.  I wanted my weekly fudge pop indulgence.  I grabbed the package in the backity back!! The most frozen one I could find, and decided to blog this wonderful gluten free treat.  I realized I had never blogged about this fudge pop being gluten-free, and how silly of me to keep this tid bit to myself.  So I grabbed my phone to take a picture of the front and back of the box.  I gasped! omg, omg, omg.  I starred at the ingredients.  MALT FLOUR.  Yikes!  No way!  It can't be.  How come I never noticed this before?  Did the ingredients change?  Was it always like this?  Something had to have changed and then to top it off I noticed at the bottom of the ingredient...
