French Meadow Bakery Review Gluten Free Brownies

I was so excited to try the product, I ran out the same day I got the coupons in the mail,  and decided to try the Gluten Free  Fudge Brownies.  I was able to find these at Woodmans in Menomonee Falls, I do believe they carry them in Sendiks also. 

There are nine per package, they come frozen, but each is individually wrapped for freshness.  I let it thaw out for a few hours, and it was delicious!  My son enjoyed it also.  They were so moist and a great snack. They are also Lactose, Casein, and Peanut free.  Would be great topped with some vanilla ice cream too.

You can trust their product because they are made in a gluten free facility and certified by GCO.  They are also featured in the book Gluten Free Diet by Shelley Case, RD

French Meadow Bakery also makes breads, cookie dough, and pizza crusts.  Try some today, and check out the website at

Be sure to print their coupons

Silly Yak Bakery

I recently tried some breads from The Silly Yak Bakery in Madison, WI.  Great Bakery that offers shipping.  They also have gluten casein free products as well.

I tried the multigrain bread, rice bread, and the pizza crusts.  Very good, the pizza crusts were the perfect size for personal pizzas.  The shipping prices are reasonable, and it was so nice to have fresh baked bread.  They have a wide variety of baked goods to try. I believe this is a dedicated gluten free facility, no worries of cross contamination.

Favorite Gluten Free Cookies, Buckeyes


I am going to share my favorite gluten free recipe for buckeyes, bet you can't eat just one!
Buckeyes (yes they are gluten free)
Ingredients
  • 1 1/2 cups peanut butter
  • 1 cup butter, softened
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 6 cups confectioners' sugar
  • 4 cups semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
  1. In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, vanilla and confectioners' sugar. The dough will look dry. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on a waxed paper-lined cookie sheet.
  2. Press a toothpick into the top of each ball (to be used later as the handle for dipping) and chill in freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
  3. Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a bowl set over a pan of barely simmering water. Stir frequently until smooth.
  4. Dip frozen peanut butter balls in chocolate holding onto the toothpick. Leave a small portion of peanut butter showing at the top to make them look like Buckeyes. Put back on the cookie sheet and refrigerate until serving
Enjoy!!  These also freeze well, my whole family loves them
