GF Kid Friendly Lollipops



Wouldn't it be grand, if going gluten-free were easy for kids?  And the parents that have to go along for the ride?  Yes, It would be grand, nice and ideally easy.  But the truth is, is that going gluten-free and dealing with Celiac Disease is NOT easy.  It's hard.  And it's even harder to find a good candy or sweet that your child will love rather then spit out, because it doesn't taste the "same" as "before".  I put these two words in "air quotes", because what used to be and what was before, is certainly not now.  Not with this lifestyle.  

To re-adjust your child's palate is a life long journey.  But on the flip side more and more wonderful brands are coming to the surface like Yummy Earth.

Yummy Earth's Candies are Organic.  Only using the finest natural ingredients.  It is hard to find good products that are concerned with the natural well being of their customers, and their customer's children.  But this brand is free of many additives and thickeners and more.  This brand is certified Organic, there are no artificial dyes, using 100% natural flavors, Real fruit extracts, No corn syrup, Casein-Free, Gluten-Free, 100 Vegan, GMO-Free, Nut-Free, Soy-Free, Wheat-Free and Dairy-Free.

Now, of course there would really be no reason for me to indulge on these lolli's, but my boss brought them in.  My boss has a young daughter.  So she brought them with her to work and gave me and my co-worker one.  Great Lolli's by the way!  I was so excited, I wanted to blog these.  They are kid friendly.  They speak to kids.  Now they don't taste like a sugary blow pop or Charms lolli, but they are good.  At first, the after taste shocked me, as I was not expecting it.  I definitely tasted the organic juices and natural fruits they used.  After I put it down, I decided to give it another lick, and then finished the entire pop, which is only 22 calories, if you are counting.

This brand has tons of other candy options like gummy bears, gummy worms, assorted flavor lollipops, vitamin C pops, Cough Drops and more.  It's the Organic way.

Their website is very user friendly, even showing links to all their certificates, like Gluten-Free, Egg-Free, Dairy-Free, Peanut-Free, No High Fructose Corn Syrup, Soy Free, and Kof-K Kosher Parve.  Click Here for this list.  This brand is proud, and their website shows this.  And that is the number one thing you want when looking into a product for your children's well being.

So by now, I am sure you are wondering where you can pick up a batch of these delightful candies...You are? Well then click HERE!  Lollipops are changing dramatically.  We are in a new age, where children and adults are entering a world of major allergic reactions, auto-immune disorders and other similar situations.  So Organic is one way to go.

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...
