Glutino - Product Review - April 2016

I have to admit,  this pregnancy I have cheated quite a bit when it comes to my gluten free diet. For whatever reason, I have been able to tolerate small amounts of gluten here and there. If I over indulge, I suffer, but its nice to munch on a little gluten here and there when I otherwise can't tolerate it well at all when I'm not pregnant. I do still try to stick to my gluten free ways though, and once baby is born this summer I plan on going back to a completely gluten free diet. I received my latest sample pack of gluten free products to try out and as usual, I'm impressed and delighted with what I received.

Old Fashioned Yellow Cake Mix

I make cake for special occasions, but otherwise I like to put a healthy spin on dessert and make a cobbler. I use a gluten free cake mix like this Old Fashioned Yellow Cake mix, and make it a little thicker than normal. Meaning, I usually leave out a bit of the liquid. You simply dump some fresh or frozen fruit in a baking dish, and spoon the cake mix over the fruit. Bake until the fruit is warm and the cake is cooked through. Some of our favorites are peaches, blueberries, cherries and strawberries.

Pretzel Sesame Rings

I have been hungry around the clock this pregnancy and this includes the middle of the night. I don't want to get up at three a.m. and eat something fatty or heavy, so I tend to munch on pretzels. These Sesame Rings are a great change to regular old pretzels and you can eat a bunch of them with minimal calories per serving.

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Who doesn't love a regular chocolate chip cookie? I know I do and I love to dunk them in milk. These chocolate chip cookies have a great texture and you won't know they're gluten free at all. I opened up the package to try one (ok two) and within ten minutes I was missing a whole row of them as my husband passed by them.

Lemon Flavored Crème Wafers

Everybody remembers those colored wafer cookies from when they were kids. They came in strawberry, chocolate and vanilla but they probably weren't very healthy. They definitely weren't gluten free either. These lemon wafers from Glutino are super light and have just the loveliest hint of lemon to them. They're hard to put down that's for sure!
