CookiesCookiesCookies!!! November 2, 2008

New favorite food alert. I found these at my local TJs, and it was love. I ran home, baked half the batch in about 20 minutes, and tried them. They were perfect. Not too peanut butter-y, not too sweet, just right. My heart rejoiced as I packed them for my lunch tomorrow. But as I ate them at school, I had another great idea. After I came home, I made the rest of the box and melted chocolate to put on top. Even better. My new favorite snack. These are perf for after school or in lunches, or just as a grab-and-go cookie. Trader Joe’s has a ton of gluten free snacks (yay!), so if you live near one, check it out. If you aren’t sure, check out their locations. Happy Eating!

Happy Halloween! November 2, 2008

I hope everyone had a safe and happy halloween this year! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, and with halloween comes pumpkins, costumes, and of course, CANDY! And candy, sadly poses a bit of a problem to us Celiacs. And, annoyingly all those little fun-size (I never understood that, I would have more fun eating a full size candy bar!) don’t explain the ingredients on the wrappers. After digging through my Halloween loot this year, I didn’t have to pull out much. Many standard Halloween candies are gluten free, but you can never be sure, so I looked up “gluten free candy list” online, and found this wonderful PDF with 32 (yes, 32!) pages of gluten free candies. And the best thing about this list is it doesn’t only list Halloween candy, but Easter, Christmas, and everyday candy. So follow this link, click on ”2007 Gluten Free Candy List” and happy candy eating!
