 I enjoyed this marble cake! It is not dry nor is it too sweet. It is moist and tasty. It is great with a cup of tea or rice milk. This is definitely going to be one of my reoccurring snacks! I am also posting a picture of the cake at the bottom of this posting. XOXOX Dawn

These muffins require toasting before eating. The muffins are light, tasty and visually appealing! The muffins are sold 4 to a package. Whole Food’s carries this product for $9.99, but you can purchase this product directly from the website: www.gfgreatbakes.com for $8.50. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = the worse and 10 = the best); I give this product a 9. I had others purchase and taste this product. They all agreed about the taste, but felt the price point was a little high. BUT in the gluten free world, there is typically a high price tag attached to quality goods. These muffins are worth the cost!!

Here’s to the delight of gluten-free cooking! XOXOX Dawn  Breaded Spinach Eggplant Parmesan (Featuring Schar Gluten Free Bread Crumbs)
Ingredients Schar Gluten Free Bread Crumbs Pasta Sauce (2 jars) Spinach (1 pound optional – you can use more or less) Eggplants (2 are adequate for one pan) Ricotta Cheese (1 large container) Mozzarella Cheese (4 cups) 1 Onion 1 Red Pepper 1 Garlic Bud Olive Oil Sea Salt Pepper Step 1: Prep Work Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Wash the outside of the eggplant, dry and peel the skin Cut the eggplant into slices (the slices should resemble sliced bread) Place the sliced eggplant in a container or bowl and set aside Rinse and chop the red pepper and tomato then place in a bowl and set aside Chop the onion and entire garlic bud add to the bowl with the red pepper and tomato Rinse and coarsely chop the spinach, place in a bowl and set aside Place a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet and heat with a low flame Add the following into the skillet with olive oil: the onions, red pepper, garlic and tomatoes. Sauté with low heat until slightly cooked Salt and pepper to taste Remove mixture from the skillet, place in a bowl and set aside Step 2: Prepare the Eggplant Empty the package of Schar Bread Crumbs into a bowl, plate, platter or cutting board Fill a clean bowl with water Dip the sliced eggplant one by one into the water and then into the Schar Bread Crumbs Coat both sides of the eggplant with the bread crumbs Repeat this step until all of the sliced eggplant is coated with bread crumbs In a clean skillet add a generous amount of olive oil and heat with a low flame Place the slices of breaded eggplant into the skillet, cook on both sides until golden, remove from the skillet and place on top a paper towel on a plate (or platter). Continue this process until all of the eggplant is cooked. Step 3: Assemble the Dish Add a small amount of pasta sauce to the bottom of a pan. This will prevent the breaded eggplant for sticking or burning while in the oven. Layer the breaded eggplant slices until the bottom of the pan is completely covered. It is okay for the slices of eggplant to overlap. Cover the breaded eggplant with the sautéed onion, garlic, tomato, red pepper mixture. Add a layer of spinach, topped with mozzarella and ricotta cheese. Repeat these steps until you reach to the top of the pan. Make sure the final (or top layer) consists of breaded eggplant topped with pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese. Cover the pan with aluminum foil, place in the oven and cook at 350 degrees for 45 minutes. Remove pan from the oven, uncover and let side for 20 minutes. Your dish is ready to serve.

 Now that information about Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance is readily available there are numerous products on the market to purchase. For the average consumer it is difficult to determine the difference between products and their claims. This post is going to discuss what it means to be certified gluten free.
Products that display the Certified Gluten Free logo have been inspected and verification has determined that the quality, purity and integrity of the products are incompliance with the strict requirements of the gluten free standard. There are three organizations that certify products as being gluten free: Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA), and the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA). Although each of these organizations has the same goal, obligating manufacturers to disclose the amount of trace glutens in their products, their methods of testing varies. The Gluten-Free Certification Organization and the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness’ testing standard requires food to contain less than 10 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. While the Celiac Sprue Association requires foods to have less than 5ppm and also requires foods to be free of oats (even gluten-free oats). Testing also includes product reviews and random onsite testing of processing facilities. The manufacturer also incurs a financial cost that is associated with the auditing process. What does this mean for the average consumer? These organizations relieve the average consumer of burden of researching and locating data on the manufacturing process of products. It is unlikely that a manufacturer will undergo this lengthy and expensive process to obtain the GF certification and later violate the guidelines. Also, purchasing Certified Gluten Free products helps to eliminate the opportunity of being exposed to glutens.

I know that is a product for young kids, but I love it! I am certain that kids of all ages will love this product. It definitely is not bland or boring. It is quite tasty. On a scale of 1 to 10 (1 = the worse and 10 = the best); I give this product a 10. Kids will definitely eat their veggies after trying this product. In addition to the great taste, this is a gluten free product and the shapes are fun!!!
