Gluten Free Awareness Post from Gluten Free Life With Jen

Important Event for Gluten Free Awareness 

I wanted to bring you up to speed on a major upcoming event that is raising awareness in the gluten-free community of the FDA's glaring lack of action on gluten-free food labeling under the 2004 Food Allergen Labeling and Consumer Protection Act. This event taking place on May 4 in Washington, DC, will bring attention to their inaction at a VIP reception for Congress and FDA, as well as key leaders in the Gluten-Free community, where our community and industry are coming together to build the World's Tallest Gluten-Free Cake!

 

Go to 1in133.org site and sign the petition that has been signed by more than 5,000 people in just the last month. More than 2,000 letters have been sent from the site, too, to the FDA and to members of Congress.

I actively encourage anyone who eats gluten-free or who buys or prepares food from a gluten-free eater to visit the site and sign the petition and send letters to those in power. You can also make contributions in increments of $11.33 for each gluten-free eater you care about.

King Arthur's Gluten Free Brownie Mix and Giveaway

I am a brownie fanatic, so I couldn't wait to try this! 

These are sooo easy to make, add eggs, water and oil or butter, I opted for oil to make them dairy free too.  I did have to cook them ten minutes longer than the recipe called for, but when they were done they were excellent!!

These do not taste gluten free by any means, you would never know.  These are seriously awesome brownies, so moist and fudgy, and the edges came out a bit hard like I like them.  My son also gave them an A plus:)

King Arthur Flour is proud to introduce the very best gluten-free brownie mix you’ll ever bake.

• Certified Gluten-Free™ by the non-profit Gluten-Free Certification Organization (GFCO), a program of the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG®).
• Just stir in 2 eggs, melted butter or vegetable oil, and water. Spoon into pan, bake, and enjoy. Note: you must use real eggs in this recipe; flax- or starch-based egg replacers don't work well.
• Another benefit: we’ve worked hard to ensure that brownies made from our mix will stay fresher longer than brownies made from other mixes.
• Wheat-free, soy-free, nut-free mix is packed in a dedicated gluten-free facility.
• No additives, preservatives, or artificial flavors.
• Kosher.
• 17-ounce mix makes sixteen 2”-square brownies
