Farmer's Market Finds-Fall Harvest

Hello my fellow readers!

I hope you are enjoying this amazing Fall we have thus far!  If you are in NYC, I hope you are taking advantage of the Union Square Green Farmer's Market as the veggies and fruits are to die for right now!  I just picked up some organic kale, some amazing Gala, Dessert and Fuji apples-they are so crispy and delicious!  I also got two kinds of pears: Bartlet and Bosc, and I scooped up some fabulously scented onions and very ripe tomatoes.  Feeling super excited!  The apples are beyond delicious.  And the kale in my smoothie this a.m. was amaze balls.  I'm thinking of roasting the tomatoes soon-and I'll add some natural spices and herbs to that dish.

I just loving cooking with what Mother Nature intended for us!  Check out some of your local green markets-and try new things.  Try a new recipe!  Eat a new veggie or fruit that you haven't before.  Maybe one you have seen but have never tried.  The medicinal and healing benefits to these foods are fantastic!  Root veggies are In Season.  That means stews, roasting, sauteing and baking!!.  Yum!  

My new veggie to try is a root veggie.  I LOVE Acorn and Butternut squash but I have never actually made it myself.  So this is what I'll be trying this week.  I think ill chop up some other veggies and make either Quinoa or Amaranth and stuff my squash with those things and bake it.  I'll be sure to snap some photo's of the outcome.  I anticipate that it  will be delicious!

I am so excited to share my collection of recipes, reviews, openings and stories from the last few months!  Don't fret, just another month and this blog will be back with a BANG and reconstructed to my delight!  Since the beginning of the Summer I have been enrolled as a student again, first time since I graduated college back in 2000!  It's taken up a lot of my time-in an amazing way of course, but my blog unfortunately has taken the side road.  So to all of my loyal followers, Thank You.  I'll be back soon.

Love and Kisses
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...
