Banana Split Ice-Cream Sandwiches

**found in July 2003 Cooking Light Magazine-converted GF



The vanilla cookies are very thin and are made from a batter that requires chilling before shaping.  They'll be soft when warm but light and crisp after they cool.  Gooey toppings make this a good knife-and-fork sandwich.  Assemble just before serving.

Cookies: (converted to GF by Moi)
7 Tbsp. powdered sugar
6 tbsp. sifted all-purpose-gf-flour
1/4 tsp. vanilla extract
1 large egg

Filling: 2 cups vanilla low-fat gf ice cream, softened
3/4 cup ripe mashed banana (about 1 1/2 medium bananas)
6 tbsp. coarsely chopped dry-roasted peanuts, divided (make sure gluten-free, some are definitely not)

Remaining Ingredients: 6 tbsp. frozen fat-free whipped topping GF, thawed
6 Tbsp. GF chocolate syrup
6 maraschino cherries, drained

1.  To prepare cookies, combine sugar and flour, stirring with a whisk.  Add vanilla and egg, and beat with a mixer at medium speed 2 minutes.  Cover and refrigerate 2 hours.
2.  Preheat oven to 350 degrees
3.  Cover a large baking sheet with parchment paper.  Draw 6 (3-inch) circles on paper.  Turn paper over, and secure with masking tape.  Spoon about 1 tbsp. batter into center of each drawn circle; spread batter to outside edge of each circle.  Bake at 350 degrees for about 6 minutes (this must be watched, it could be sooner), or until edges begin to be brown.  Carefully remove cookies from paper, and cool completely on wire racks.  Repeat procedure with the remaining batter, reusing the parchment paper.
4.  To prepare the filling, combine the ice cream, banana, and 1/4 cup peanuts, stirring well.
4  Place 1 cookie on each of the 6 plates.  Carefully spread about 1/3 cup ice cream mixture over flat side of each cookie.  Top with remaining cookies, flat sides down, pressing gently.  Top each sandwich with 1 tbsp. whipped topping, 1 tbsp chocolate syrup, 1 tsp. peanuts, and 1 cherry.  Serve immediately. 

Yield 6 servings (serving size 1 sandwich)

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...
