03/16/2013

Hello Everyone:

I was  at a Celiac function that was held at the Abington Memorial Hospital
One of the vendors there Joan,  from Joan's GF Great Bakes was running around saying you have to try our products.  I always like to try new products so of course I did try it.  She said to me this is going to be the best corn bread muffin you have ever tasted, she also gave me a sample of her English muffin, and her Multi Grain Muffin. 
She was absolutely correct this was not just a great English Muffin or a Great Corn  Muffin.
This tasted like a baker that had performed an artistry of delight in every bite that I had .  I wass so sorry when it was gone.
Her products you will think they had gluten in them they are that good with these muffins you are not sacrificing anything
Her muffins are out of this world  she thinks of everything  they not only taste magnificent but they are actually really very good for you
They are Dairy free Soy Free and ready to eat just toast them and you will be amazed that these muffins taste as good as they do and best of all they have 2 grams  of fiber in them and a lot of vitamins in them
Their website is www.gfgreatbakes.com, their address and telephone number is
Gf Great Bakes
90 East Merrick RD
FreePoint New York  11520
1 516 804 5600
Their email address is www.gfgreatbakes.com
They do have some stores in the Pennsylvania area that carry their products,  just go to their website and hit their store locator
I am going to see if I can get them into more stores in the Pa  area
I love these products they are not just a good gluten free product they are an explosion of greatness in every bite
Every bite just brings delight and happiness I am doing the happy dance with these products and I know you will too once you try them, you will never feel deprived with eating Joan's GF. Great Bakes

THE HONEST COMPANY

02/13/2013

I just found this company that I love I do not work for them but I  do love them.   The name of the company is called The Honest Company it was founded by Jessica Alba and a friend of hers.  They were looking for skin care products and cleaning  that they could feel comfortable using in their home for themselves and their children that had no chemicals in them.   This is skin care and cleaning products.  They even have it that you can sample their products free of charge you just pay for shipping. 
It can be for a Baby Bundle with Baby products or what they call the Family Essential Bundle. 
The Family Essentials Bundle is a mixture of 5 different products that they have picked out I think it has a trial size of a Shampoo/ Body Wash a Conditioner trial size of a liquid soap, Laundry Detergent unscented   and a Bathroom cleaner. 
You try them out and if you  like them then you  let them know and they will send out to you 5 different products that you  can change if you do no like the ones that they have chosen for that month. The cost is 35.95 a month plus shipping  but you  can just also just pick out one product to try out at a time also. 
I have tried most of all the products and love all of them.  They have just come out with organic cotton dish towels, organic dish brushes and also candles. 
The products are all  organic and they smell wonderful
I love the Shampoo/Body Wash it is the scent of like orange/vanila /lemon it is really a great fragrance. 
The Website is www.honest.com
They are also great to deal with and very helpful I hope you love them as much as I do. 

Thank yo u

They have four different sizes for boxes to choose from the smallest is 25.00 
Then you  just add  on their  Organic groceries and they have under shop it will say special diets you hit that and yo and behold they have Gluten Free options and Dairy Free options .  There are a lot of Gluten free options  to choose from so you just add onto what you have chosen for your Organic fruit and vegetable box.  They will tell you how much you  owe at the end of your order and depending on where you live it will be put together  and delivered the following week
Usually every Friday after 12:00PM they will send out to you an email with the items that they have chosen for your Organic fruit and vegetable box and you  can choose just all fruits and all vegetables or it can be a mixture.
I live in Norris town PA  19401 for me my orders are shown on Friday then put together on Monday and delivered  to me on Tuesdays.  I am then billed by my credit card that is on file on Wednesday.

UDIS HAS A NEW MORE NUTRITIOUS GLUTEN FREE BREAD

01/09/2013


Good Morning

I do not know if you have seen it in most of the Giant Food Stores but Udi's has a new more Nutritious gluten free bread
It is called Udi's Omega Flax and Fiber Bread.
This bread is really very good and it has 6 grams of fiber per serving which is 2 slices.
The bread is soft but at the same time has a nice nutty flavor it is really good and great for you and
this gluten free bread does hold up in a sandwich .
I do not have to toast the bread to have it soft and I usually leave it in the refrigerator.
Their  new bread  has a  a purple and golden color packaging, the bread is the size of   most gluten free breads are but  it is well  worth it .
The difference is this gluten free bread is more filling then most gluten free breads.
Most times when I have had a sandwich using gluten free breads after wards I am still hungry for another sandwich, I do not make another one that would be too many calories for me .  I do what the nutritionist say and wait about twenty minutes for the brain to know it has enough but with other gluten free breads I am still hungry but with this bread I  am not .  I am well satisfied.  
It has also helped my blood sugars out , I do not need as much insulin when I use this bread which is always nice.
I did ask a representative for Udi's if they could make a gluten free bread even use this one the size of a bread that is made out of gluten like your wheat filled breads. 
They said that they are reluctant to do that because if they did the cost would probably be  a little bit more then twice the cost of the loaves of  gluten bread are now.
Udi's Gluten Free Omega Flax and Fiber bread has 150 calories for their serving of two slices and 50 calories from fat
It has 22 grams of Carbohydrate , 6 grams of fiber , 3 grams of sugar and 6 grams of protein.
Udi's mission is to eat well and smile often this is on their packaging and it also has on their packaging  our mission is to show you a new way to approach gluten free living. Udi's sources natural ingredients to make a delicious products that will fill your stomach and warm your soul 
I love love this bread I am always sorry when the bread is gone and I have to go back to the store to get more
This bread is a winner in taste, quality and great nutrition especially if you are a Celiac having Diabetes and other conditions that you need more fiber in your diet

Thank you

NARDOS NATURAL SKIN CARE

12/22/2012

Nardos Natural Skin Care is run by a family of brothers from our area but business is in Florida.
I found this company when they were spotted on the show Shark Tank
I was very impressed with what they had to say about their products.   and I hoped that someone would pick them up to support them and it finally happened.  The Shark Tank Barbara picked them up to help give them the support they needed

Their products are all natural ,  organic,  and gluten free they are superb.  Their face cream makes my skin feel alive and well nourished.

I love their soap it is super moisturizing, I even used the soap as a  hair wash and it came out beautifully
I just rubbed between my hands a pea size of coconut oil when my hair was three quarters the way dry and it was shinny, full of body and bounce with no reactions.

I also love the fact that Nardos has a sample pack with about 5 different products in it for $9.99 plus tax.  I love this you can sample it and find out for yourself how great these products are

Their face cream is to die for it left my face feeling soft and made my complexion look like it erased about ten years .

The sample pack has a Face Cream, Toner,  Lip Balm,  Body Lotion  and a Face Cleanser and Exfoliate

Their website is www.nardosnatural.com and their telephone number is 1 813 400 3687

Your skin will thank you for trying out these products I saw results immediately I hope you will too

I do not work for this company but boy do I wish I did their products are worth their weight in gold

Thank you

NEW GLUTEN FREE BREAD THAT IN A WORD IS FANTASTIC

12/19/2012

First of all before I put this post in about the new gluten free bread I found I want to apologize for not blogging for a bit
My husband has been very sick so I had to take some time off to get him back into the swing of things.

This bread company is called Silver Hills Bakery.  They have two flavors Silver Hills Omega Flax Gluten Free bread and Silver Hills Chia Chia Gluten free bread. 
I was surprised but I liked the Chia Chia Bread the best. 
This bread is particularly good for Diabetics it has 5 grams of fiber per slice 70 calories 1 gram of fat  and very little sugar it is also Dairy free and Vegan
It also has 2 grams of protein to it so it really packs on a mean punch in the nutritional side  of breads.
This to me is outstanding you  get a bread that taste great and is gluten free and the best part it  is actually good for you
It is a great way to start your day with a power house of goodness in each slice not the usual 5 grams for two slices of bread but 5 grams of fiber for 1 slice of bread so you are just elevated your body to greatness with eating this bread, as they say it is what the doctor ordered
What I particularity   like about this bread is that there is no rice flour in it so with all the controversy about
eating rice products right now you do not have to worry.

This bread is not in our area as of yet but it will be soon so start talking to your grocery stores about getting this bread in now so that when they do start shipping to this area you will be one of the first to try it out
The website is www.silverhillsbakery.ca their telephone number is 1 604 850 5600  and their email address is info@silverhillsbakery.ca

Thank you
