Apple Cranberry Pie Smoothie

Hello Lovelies!

I made this post yoga, pre brunch.  A little pick me up from Mother Nature.  This one was delightful.  Light.  Airy.  Tranquil…

1 large dessert apple 
a small handful of fresh cranberries
Juice from 1/2 of a lime
1 heaping Tbsp. Raw Coconut Butter
1/3 x 2 coconut milk (original flavor)
1 Tsp. Agave Nectar 
1/2-1 Tsp. Lavender Extract
Ice

Helpful hints: 

Choosing the dessert apple is important.  For this smoothie you want one that is tart.  I like: Winesap and Empire, but Gala, Macoun, Honey Crisp will do too.

Lavender extract is very strong.  Start with the 1/2 Tsp. first.  Blend.  Taste.  If you want more, then add the other half.  If you use too much, it ends up tasting like you are eating flowers-and not in a good way.

Add the ice last.  Get everything blended to your desire, and then add 4-5 ice cubes.  Blend again.
Add a straw.

Serve this up in a wine glass and enjoy.  This smoothie will be PINK!!

Makes 2 small smoothies.

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...
