Coupons!

How many of my readers use coupons when they shop? Come on, raise your hands high! Anyone?

I haven’t used coupons for a long time, with the exception of my Glutino coupons. I cannot believe they give us FREE product coupons. How cool is that?!?!? Their products are AMAZING!! Glutino Foods and Udi’s are my favorite gluten-free companies! Texture, taste, variety…all fabulous!!

Today, I’m giving you an opportunity to win 10 (THAT’S RIGHT 10 Glutino Foods FREE PRODUCT coupons) coupons for any Glutino product. These are not just $1 off coupons either, these are FREE PRODUCT coupons. This means that you pay NOTHING! Cool, right!?! Very cool…

For those of you who have been gluten-free for any length of time, you know how expensive eating a specialty diet can be. While Glutino Foods products are among the most inexpensive, they can still be kinda pricy. These coupons can really come in handy when you are stretching your dime.

So go ahead, click this LINK  and follow the prompts. Then just wait til the giveaway is over to see if you won! Don’t forget to come back and tweet everyday to increase your chances of winning!

Live, laugh, love and EAT what you love!  xoxo

Exhausted

I am sorry I haven’t been around much lately. I have reviews to do and giveaways…but I have been exhausted lately and the last thing on my mind has been posting on here. I know that sounds bad, but it is the truth. I have a family and camp things and just so much else to worry about. And honestly all that comes first. Have you ever been so exhausted you couldn’t sleep? Yeah, that’s me these days.

So, instead of the reviews I need to do, We are going to keep this short and sweet and do a giveaway. I will get to the reviews later. You are going to be amazed, though. The product I’m reviewing next is sooooo good!

Anyway… today’s giveaway is brought to you by Glutino Foods! We are giving away more free product coupons. In fact, I have so many to give away that someone is going to get 10 coupons! That’s right, I said 10 coupons! These are for ANY Glutino Foods product. FREE!

You’re welcome…

Good luck everybody!

$30 Prize Pack

I have been feeling out of sorts lately, which is why I haven’t been here a lot, so I’m going to keep this short and sweet. Udi’s and I are going to give one of you a $30 prize pack! That’s right, $30 worth of Udi’s fabulous gluten-free product! You’re welcome…

You have all heard me go on and on about their frozen burritos, brownie bites and even their steel-cut oats. I just LOVE their products. I really like that they are consistent in quality. Whether you are buying their frozen product, pre-made items or their boxed/bagged mixes, you are getting something high quality that will taste good, hold together well and have good texture.  All of which are important to those of us who want our gluten-free foods to resemble their gluten-filled counterparts. We want REAL FOOD!!

Above you can see some of their rolls, which come frozen and prr-baked. You simply reheat in the oven. They’re so good!

So, I am so excited that one of you will be winning a $30 prize pack. This is a generous prize that Udi’s is going to send you! As anyone who has been gluten-free for any length of time, gluten-free products can be a bit pricy. I have found, though that the Udi’s gluten-free line is quite affordable.

Good Luck everyone!

Celiac Awareness Month

By a raise of hands, how many of you know that May is Celiac Awareness Month?  Raise you hands high!! Ok…we have a lot of smarties out there…

I only recently learned of this information.  Of course, I am new to this whole thing.  Being gluten-free, that is.  I’ve been gluten-free for about 2 months now give or take.  You would be surprised how many people think that means I can’t have cheese or ice cream or any number of other things that have NOTHING to do with gluten whatsoever!  LOL

Can’t really blame people though, for not knowing what gluten is…it’s not really a common thing, to be gluten intolerant or to have Celiac Disease, although it is becoming more and more so.  I think a lot of people suffer from gluten intolerance to some degree and don’t even realize it.  I think I have been sick for some time and didn’t even have a clue.  I’m still dealing with some of my symptoms, truth be told. I think that’s because I’m still being ‘glutened’.

Like yesterday…we went to one of our favorite places to eat…a sandwich shop known for their sub sandwiches.  They will make any of their subs into a salad.  While I had her change her gloves before she made my salad, all of the items she put in my salad (cucumbers, spinach, lettuce, tomatoes, onion, etc) had been handled by hands (albeit gloved) that had handled bread….something that I hadn’t thought of until I started feeling poorly later in the day.  I’m just going to have to realize that some places just aren’t going to be an option for me anymore…

That isn’t really what this post is all about though.  Not really.  What I really wanted to tell you about is this really awesome website called freedible.com.  It’s a site for bloggers and companies and others to join together and share their recipes and stories and whathaveyou.  It’s a place where those of us with new-found food allergies can find companies that offer allergy-free foods geared toward our specific allergy.  Also, bloggers can find other bloggers who are blogging about similar things, because as we all know, it is wonderful to be able to network and build an audience that can relate to what you are writing about!

Also this post is to tell you about Glutino and how amazing they are!  Of all of the companies I have worked with so far, I would have to say that their products have been the most reliable and the most consistent so far.  Everything I have tried of theirs has been good and I would recommend to anyone who is starting the gluten-free lifestyle or who has been eating gluten-free but hasn’t had a chance to try their products. They have a wide variety of products as well.  Everything from pre-made cookies  and cookie mixes to pasta and frozen meals! I haven’t had the pleasure of trying EVERYTHING they have to offer, but like I said, it’s only been a couple of months.

In honor of Celiac Awareness month, Glutino sent me a box of their Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix along with a recipe for Beth Hillson’s ‘Cookies for a Cause’ recipe. As per usual I didn’t make the recipe exactly as written, cuz that’s how I roll, yo!

Her recipe was my inspiration, though. And here’s my version…

Glutino Double Chocolate Chip Cookies For A Cause (Click HERE to print recipe)

Get This:

• 1 box Glutino Gluten Free Pantry Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix
• 1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa
• 1/2 c. unsweetened coconut
• 1 1/2 sticks butter, softened
• 3 large eggs
• 3 T. honey (or sweetener of choice)
• 2 t. vanilla

Do This:

1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
2. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick cooking spray or line with parchment paper; set aside
3. In a medium size bowl, add first 3 ingredients; stir to combine and set aside.
4. In the bowl of a stand mixer, cream butter.
5. Add eggs and beat until smooth.
6. Add honey and vanilla; beat again to combine well.
7. Add dry ingredients to wet and mix just until everything is moistened and combined. DO NOT OVERMIX.
8. Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop cookies onto prepared baking sheet(s), leaving about an inch in between cookies.
9. Press to flatten slightly.
10. Bake 10-12 minutes, or until just set.
11. Cool on cookie sheets a couple of minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.
12. Store in an airtight container.

I really like these cookies! Like I said before, Glutinos has great, quality products.  They are consistently great.  Great flavor, texture, everything.  And the variety of products they offer is just amazing.

And now for the surprise I was telling you about before…

Glutinos is letting me give one lucky reader a prize package for Celiac Awareness Month!!! Not just any prize, though! This prize package will include the following:

·         Toaster Pastries (Strawberry & Apple Cinnamon)
