Indulge Mindfully with ginnybakes Gluten free & Organic Cookies!

Blog, Gluten Free, Gluten Free Product Review, Reviews

Did you know that you can enjoy a cookie made from the finest gluten free and organic ingredients WITHOUT making it from scratch at home! The good people at ginnybakes believe that your body deserves the finest ingredients and work tirelessly to bring you the best products. ginnybakes is a line of outrageously delicious cookies, bars and bake mixes that are organic, gluten-free, non-GMO and kosher. You can truly indulge mindfully with ginnybakes nutritious treats!

This is great news for me because my family has to eat gluten free and we try our best to use only organic products, but most cookies at the store are not. Yes, there are more gluten free cookies now but most of these are not certified organic and non gmo. Everytime my family wanted cookies I would have to make them from scratch, which is at least a 30 minute wait. Also, as much as I love to bake, honestly, sometimes I’m just not in a baking mood. Keeping boxes of ginnybakes cookies in stock in our pantry has been awesome for me as the baker of the family and gives me break.

Conveniences aside, these are some seriously delicious treats and don’t forget they are certified gluten free, organic, non gmo and kosher! My husband and boys couldn’t stop eating them, seriously I had to tell them to stop so I had products to take pictures for this post!

We were sent the following to sample for this post:

chocolate chip love
chocolate chip macadamia love
chocolate chip oatmeal bliss
coconut oatmeal bliss
double chocolate happiness
buttercrisp love
dreamy vegan delight
box of chocolate chip oatmeal bliss ginnyminis
lovely brownie bliss – bake mix
chocolate chip love – bake mix

All the cookies we tried from ginnybakes were delicious. These are crispy but not too crispy cookies. The cookies come in 5.5 oz boxes with approximately 11 cookies. Many of the cookies are also available as ginnyminis; these bite sized snack-packs are sold as a box of six 1.25oz bags of mini cute cookies.

My personal favorite were the chocolate chip oatmeal bliss, what a perfect name for this cookie made from organic gluten-free rolled oats with organic dark chocolate chips, shredded coconut, hints of cinnamon and vanilla! My husband said he liked them all and couldn’t pick a favorite. I will say he did eat the box of chocolate chip macadamia love by himself. My boys loved the chocolate chip love, a classic cookie made from high-quality, organic ingredients. What a great organic treat for the kids!

I also made the 2 bake mixes I received and they both turned out great. Each ginnybakes mixes were easy to make and only called for a few ingredients to add to the mix. This is a great way to quickly make organic cookies or brownies. Who doesn’t love a warm cookie right out of the oven?

I highly recommend giving these scrumptious cookies, bars and mixes from ginnybakes a try. Whether you have a dietary restrictions, need a quick pick-me-up, want an organic treat for your kids or just need an a quick snack ginnybakes has you covered!

Udi’s Gluten-Free Pizza for less at Walmart

Blog, Gluten Free, Gluten Free Product Review, Reviews

This is a sponsored post written in conjunction with Walmart and a campaign for Sverve. All opinions are 100% my own.

Need a quick meal or after school snack ? I have been in this situation plenty of times because of school, appointments, work or any other reason to be running behind! I also have to consider a picky eater who has to eat Gluten Free! What’s a Gluten Free Mom to do?

My solution is easy, Udi’s Gluten Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza! Udi’s is a brand I have trusted and used for years, ever since we started eating Gluten Free over 5 years ago.

Udi’s Gluten Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza ~ Gluten Free for less at Walmart

Udi’s Gluten Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza is a really good frozen pizza; the kids and adults love them! I have tried several gluten free pizzas and Udi’s is my favorite and it’s affordable. The pizza is more a personal pizza size (10.1 oz) but my boys and I can share 1 for a snack. My husband eats one by himself as a meal. It is a thin crispy crust that has a tasty sauce and uncured pepperoni!

It is great to know I have a good back up plan for those days I can’t cook us a meal. I think Udi’s frozen pizza is a much better option than eating out because it’s gluten free, less expensive, it’s easy to bake and it’s delicious!

Udi’s Gluten Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza Being on a budget I love that I can stock up on them at my local Walmart where they offer several Gluten Free Products for Less! Most stores I have seen sale this pizza for $7.99; at my local Walmart they were selling it for $5.76 as their normal price, no sale!

udi's #gfwalmart

Finding quality Gluten Free foods for a good price can be difficult, don’t get me started on frozen gluten free options! Luckily, Walmart has answered their customers request for more Gluten Free products and are adding more to their selection at a great price too.

I love that my local Walmart has their frozen food section with large signs labeling their Gluten Free products. I hate it when the gluten free products are just randomly placed with other products with no signs pointing out products are gluten free. Walmart has made it really easy to find frozen Gluten Free products and I appreciate anything that makes my shopping experience easier! I hope they continue this trend on all their aisles.

#gfwalmart

Buying Gluten Free products on a budget and stocking up on Gluten Free snacks is a lot easier now that Walmart is carrying more brands like Udi’s,Glutino, Van’s, Nature’s Path and more!

Check out your local Walmart to see the large selection of Gluten-Free products for less and be sure to attend the Walmart Gluten-Free for Less Event later this month! Don’t forget to try the Udi’s Gluten Free Uncured Pepperoni Pizza!

Brazi Bites Review ~ Gluten Free Cheese Bread Snack

Blog, Gluten Free, Gluten Free Product Review, Reviews

One of my favorite things in the whole world is cheese bread! I had tried cheese bread at a Brazilian-style steakhouses in DFW. I think I ate so much cheese bread I had left little room for the actual steak!

With that said, I was super excited when I heard about Brazi Bites, ready to bake Gluten Free brazilian cheese bread (pão de queijo). These cheese bread snacks are made with 100% natural ingredients too!

Brazi Bites wanted my Gluten Free family to try their products and sent me their three flavors- original, bacon and fire-roasted jalapeño. I cannot lie my husband and son were giddy when they heard there was a bacon flavor…who can blame them…it’s BACON!

With the whole family pumped and ready to try these cheese bread snacks we preheat the oven to 400° degrees and popped those babies in! Just 20 minutes later we had perfectly cooked snacks with a crispy crust and fluffy center! When I say fluffy, I mean a cheesy, fluffy, heavenly center!!! We are now huge fans of all 3 flavors! I prefer the original but the boys love the bacon flavor. The fire-roasted jalapeño had a great kick too and was very tasty! Just be careful not to ruin your appetite by only eating Brazi Bites.

I really like that the Brazi Bites come in a resealable bag. I was able to bake just what I needed and save the rest for another time easily.

This is a great option to eat with your meals; I like to pair mine with a soup! I think they are a great option for a snack at any party! Talk about an easy snack to make and it’s Gluten Free and made with natural ingredients!

Brazi Bites suggest to try them with: beer, wine, coffee, meats, cheeses, soups, spreads and much more!

I highly recommend trying Brazi Bites for yourself! Remember they are Naturally Gluten-Free, Wheat Free, 100% Natural Ingredients, No Trans Fat, No Sugar, No Artificial Flavors or Preservatives.

You can check them out at their website www.BraziBites.com. You can find where to buy Brazi Bites here.
