Gluten-Free Bread

After receiving comments about the So Delicious bars from Helen, I checked the other blogs she follows which led me to Dr. Stephen Wangen: The Gluten Free doctor. In response to one of his posts about a recent gluten-free bread find (which unfortunately included eggs), a reader posted about her Gluten Free Sourdough recipe which is dairy, egg, and yeast free. The recipe looked a little confusing (but I've never made bread in my life) but I'm anxious to try! To get the recipe, go to Food As Medicine to get an emailed PDF version! Also, look for her book, "The Art of Gluten Free Sourdough Baking" on the Food As Medicine website.

Interested in testing it out? Give it a try and let me know how what you think!

SO Delicious Coconut Almond Bars

Rating: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

Think about a frozen Almond Joy...that's what you get with these little bars!  Coconut-flavored, coconut milk ice cream covered in dark chocolate and almond chunks...it's to die for!  Usually, I'm not a fan of coconut ice cream or yogurts because they don't taste QUITE right.  But when it's intentionally flavored as coconut, it tastes amazing!  You'll be going back to the freezer for more in no time!  But eater beware: these puppies run 170 calories a pop!  And now that I'm doing Weight Watchers, let me tell you...that equates to 4 points!  So save them for those Friday night movie binges...or those Sunday afternoons in the backyard.  But when it comes to a nightly snack, try another of my favorites from this brand-  the 90 calorie (and 2 point) mini Soy ice cream sandwich in Vanilla.  Scroll down to find the review!

Once again, congrats to Turtle Mountain on yet ANOTHER 5 ♥ review!  Thanks for your awesome products guys!
