I'm always at a stand still when it comes to deciding what gluten-free and dairy free ice cream is my favorite. That being said, any chance I get to try some new ones is always completely fine by me :) Coconut Bliss is one of my favorite ice cream companies due to the quality gluten-free and dairy free ingredients used in every single flavor. I got lucky enough to try their 2 brand new flavors and I have to say that they are ones that you have to try this summer too.


So Summer is sadly over which means Fall is here and soon the cold will be too. I live in Florida so I don't have to worry about that but for the rest of you, I'm sure ice-cream won't sound like the most appealing food to you soon. That's why I want to share about this awesome product as quickly as possible so you can try it before it gets to cold out. NanaCreme is by far the best ice-cream I've ever tried and believe me, I've tried a lot of ice-creams in the past. Not only are their awesome flavors gluten-free, but they're vegan too! You gotta check out this awesome brand and what makes their ice-cream different from all the rest. (Hint...it's not really ice-cream at all)
I generally eat pretty healthy when it comes to eating gluten-free and I'm always trying to find the next best gluten-free snack. It seems like every month there's a brand new gluten-free product being released that I've never heard of. Some are started by big brand companies who have thousands of dollars, and others are started by small families, people, just like you and me! Yummari is a great new gluten-free bar started by Catherine and Jason Walsh. They currently have a funding page up right now to raise a goal of $10,000. They only need to raise $800 more dollars by 8/21/15 so please donate if you can to help get this awesome product going! Donate Here.


Christmas is always my favorite time of year! Being able to give gifts, putting up the Christmas tree, making all the Christmas themed foods. But one thing I've never done before is make a gingerbread house! Since going gluten-free, I thought I would never be able to make a gingerbread house again. That's why I was very excited to come across gfJules flours and to see she had a gluten-free gingerbread mix available! Keep in mind that this was my first gingerbread house ever so I'm not to proud of my work. Lol, the actual gingerbread tasted great though and I would really recommend it to anyone looking to make a gingerbread house this Christmas. Check out my full review and giveaway below!



I've tried a lot of bars since going gluten-free. Some are great, some are horrible, and some are just what I'm looking for. I live a pretty active lifestyle and always look for a good way to get calories and protein. When I came across INBars, they were perfect for what I needed and so much more! They are gluten-free, free of the top 8 allergens, and they are also low-glycemic too! I really loved almost every single flavor I tried and I can't tell you how many of these I would eat if I had an unlimited supply. Right now, you have a special opportunity to win some INBars for free! Check out the benefits of these bars below, what I like about them, and how you can win some INBars of your own!



Ever since I was a kid in elementary school, we always had foods like PB & J's, corn dogs, mac and cheese, you know...all the typical elementary school food. Of course, this was all before I was gluten-free so I couldn't imagine what it would of been like now. I know all these foods generally aren't healthy but I couldn't help but miss some macaroni and cheese and maybe some corn dogs every once in a while too. So when I got this product brought to me by Foster Farms, I immediately jumped on it! From my experience of tasting many gluten-free foods, this was by far one of the best I've had. I literally had no idea I was eating a gluten-free food and I felt like I was brought back to the elementary school days. I'm happy to share these gluten-free corn dogs with you from Foster Farms and I definitely recommend you try them soon!


For the GlutenAway Virtual Expo back in July, we had a lot of great companies involved. If you attended I'm sure you got to see tons of great companies involved and learn about a lot of new gluten-free products. One of my favorite products from this expo that I discovered happened to be Wholesome Chow Mixes. All mixes are gluten-free and free of the Top 8 Allergens! Not only are they free of those allergens but they also make amazing breads and cakes like no other. One of the things I got to make with the mixes was this recipe for a Gluten-free Pumpkin Pineapple Carrot Breakfast Loaf. It's amazing and super soft to make fore breakfast. Not to mention, it's pretty easy to make too which is something I always try to share on my blog. Make sure to check out Wholesome Chow Mixes and to try out this recipe too!


Since school is already underway for most of you and your kids, school parties usually become an issue for those who are gluten-free. I personally never had to deal with being gluten-free during school parties because I was undiagnosed at the time, but I understand it is a very difficult situation that can make kids with food allergies feel left out. I wanted to find an easy and delicious gluten-free product that can be brought to these school parties to help your child feel apart of the group! After a bunch of research and a little help from the GlutenAway Expo, I discovered Wicked Good Cupcakes as a great option for bringing your own gluten-free treat to a school party. This is my review of their product to help show that this can be a great alternative to make your child feel included at one of these parties or any special occasion.

Before I went dairy free I enjoyed a lot more gluten-free products. One of those fortunately got to be these SoyJoy bars which are naturally gluten-free! These bars were always my favorite and there were only a few flavors back then. But now there are 7 flavors for you to try and enjoy if you are just gluten-free! I'm not gunna lie...I've missed these a lot since I had to go dairy free. That shouldn't stop me from allowing some of you to try them though! Enter to win this giveaway for 6 boxes of SoyJoys which 3 people will win!
Recently I just went mostly egg free because I learned realized I was starting to get a reaction to it. Since then I thought it would be very hard for me to enjoy cookies, brownies, or really any type of gluten-free baked good. But that was before I tried Living Now Food's Gluten-Free brownies, cookies, and banana bread. All mixes from Living Now Foods can be made egg free and are extremely easy to make. They are free of many allergens and I'll be giving away tons of mixes to 2 of you!

As a teenager I've tried pretty much all the main gluten-free products. I'm sure most of you have tried Rudi's but I personally have never reviewed them on my blog. At the Gluten-Free Living Conference in April I got the opportunity to see a lot of the new Rudi's products coming out! I originally tried Rudi's years ago and haven't tried it for a while. But since trying their new products lately I have really enjoyed them. In this post I'll be reviewing my favorite Rudi's products as well as doing a giveaway for any 3 Rudi's products of your choice.

For my first giveaway of Celiac Awareness Month, I'm kicking it off with a giant giveaway from Ener-G! They have tons of great gluten-free products I have never tried before that you have to get your hands on. It includes gluten-free pretzels, pizza crusts, cookies, and much more! I'll share my favorite things I liked about these products as a teen as well as what you can win. Make sure you share this giveaway and enter cause it's a good one!


I'm always up for trying new gluten-free products and treats. When I went to the Gluten-Free Living Conference a few weeks back this was one of the products I found! I met the owner at the Nostalgic Cookies booth, Yossi, and learned all about the great cookies. They are made in a gluten-free dairy free facility plus they are Non-GMO as well! Check out my review of the cookies I tried as well as a giveaway for 3 boxes of these Nostalgic Cookies!
I've had tons of people ask me over the last few months if I knew of any gluten-free bars that didn't contain soy, refined sugars, or have any fillers. A lot of the times I had trouble thinking of a bar or even finding a bar that doesn't have tons of unwanted additives. As much as I love Kind Bars and Larabars, I still didn't like that there was soy in the Kind Bars, and too much sugar in the Larabars. But when I finally came across this one bar I immediately thought, "That's It!" (I know..silly pun.)
Some people seem to be big fans of gum. I for one have always been a huge fan of gum and used to chew it all the time! That was until about a year ago when I started reading about all the crazy ingredients that goes into it. Most gums are gluten-free but have a lot of bad ingredients you do not want going into your body. I completely abandoned gum and really did begin to miss it. That was until I came across a company called Pur Gum! All there gum is naturally gluten-free and is free of all the bad ingredients like aspartame, GMO's and refined sugar as well.
I myself have tried quite a few gluten-free wraps before over the last 4 years of being gluten-free. One thing I've noticed is that the wraps are starting to get better and better. By now I can say they are to the point where I wouldn't even guess they are gluten-free. There are a lot of gluten-free wraps out there to choose from but I will say that Toufayan is by far the best one you will find. It has amazing texture and is bendy and flexible like most gluten-filled wraps you would see! They are honestly the best wraps I have ever tried out of the many that I have tried. In this post I will share a few recipes as well as my favorite things and more info about Toufayan Gluten-Free Wraps.
Being gluten-free on thanksgiving is something that for most people is very hard the first time. I have gone through 3 gluten-free Thanksgivings and am now going on my 4th. You may feel like there are a lot of things you won't be able to eat anymore or there will be a lot of things you won't be able to have during Thanksgiving meal. If you think about it most Thanksgiving foods are already gluten-free, but one that is not is stuffing. There are a few gluten-free stuffing recipes out there that take a while to make. But this recipe and stuffing from Three Bakers makes it whole lot easier! In this post I share my review of the stuffing as well as share an easy recipe you can make with it as well!
A while back I happily got some amazing gluten-free flours and mixes from Gluten Free Mama! As some of you that follow me may know, I am someone who loves to cook and bake whenever I can. So when I received a box of all these different flours and mixes that I could now cook with, it was heaven to me. I won't go as far to say that I'm an expert when it comes to gluten-free flours and knowing which ones are best. But I can say that I do know how good something tastes from the flours I do use. I am still using the flours I have left from Gluten Free Mama today and I'm glad to share some of the recipes I've made with them below.


Udi's Gluten Free Bread
Udi's has always been one of my favorite brands that provide gluten-free options and is probably one of the most well known. But that doesn't always mean all their products are the best. When I tried Udi's bread for the first time I honestly wasn't that impressed. It wasn't as soft or fluffy that I remembered from regular bread. For sandwiches this wasn't exactly what I was hoping for. But maybe it was just me, they have tons of different varieties and I'm sure you can find a way for it to taste good too! 
Gluten-Free For Men is an awesome website that is..well..for men! They have information on the best gluten-free food, sauces, and of course beer. Even though I can't have beer there are still many gluten-free foods I enjoy as a guy. I used to love pizza, steak, and especially burgers of all kinds. So what does every burger or steak need? An awesome BBQ sauce to go along with it. That's exactly the BBQ sauce this is and it's natural, gluten-free, dairy free, egg free, HFCS free, and non GMO which is a big one. A lot of the BBQ sauces I've used in the past don't have the best ingredients for you. But this one has all natural ingredients and taste amazing as well. Below you will find my review of the BBQ sauce, Glutenfreeformen.com, and an awesome burger recipe you can use with the sauce as well.
