EXCITING NEWS THAT I HAVE COME ACROSS FOR US CELIACS
10/22/2011
Greetings:
I have about 5 or 6 businesses that I am presently working on from home which I love.
I do things the traditional way of promoting these businesses and the not so traditional ways,
The things that I found out just this week were mind blowing i think
I found a couple of website that I am working on to get our products on these websites.
The reason why I am telling all this to you is that they can help people with Celiac disease
The first one is www.peapod.com this is a virtual grocery store. Right now they do not have many gluten free options but they promise me they are trying to get more in and I have given them many suggestions. You do have to have at least a 60.00 order and you have to call 24 hours in advance. The shipping is free for the first 2 months This is only in some areas it is part of Giant Food Stores this is a delivery service that you put your order on line. You do put your Bonus Card savings in also so that you can get the savings of the week and they do take coupons.
Their website is www.peapod.com and their telephone number is 1 800 5 peapod
The 2nd website is www.alice.com This is another website that is a virtual grocery store they do have much more gluten free options and they are working to get more. I love this website because you buy 6 or more items and the shipping is free . They use UPS and for my area which is in the suburbs of Philadelphia they told me that it would take two days. I do have to check if you have to have a minimum order and I will find that out on Monday. I just found out tha tyou do have to have at least a 50.00 order but the shipping is always free.
They also have a program where you refer friends to their website you get money for it. to find out what gluten free items they have you would just put in the search bar gluten free cereal or gluten free pasta or whatever you are looking for.
My third and last website that i came across is www.eatshopgive.com This one I also love they spot lite a few products from companies and you get them at a discounted price at the end of the day what ever the company that is spot lighted for their product they pick out what charity they like and 10 % of the profits for that day go to that charity that they chose. It is a win win situation, you get the products at a discounted price and someone gets help from your shopping experience. How can you not like that idea . I know one of the businesses that is involved with this company is putting his charity for the National Foundation For Celiac Awareness which is fantastic Take a look at The Little Bakery in Blue Bell PA 19422 He makes gluten free bakery products that are out of this world. To me the owner of the Little Bakery is amazing he has put his products in some of the schools in the area and even in some colleges so that people can taste how great his products are and that kids can feel like they too can get something special.
Some of the companies that I work for that I am trying to get on these websites are My Dads Cookies which is a gluten free organic cookie. these cookies are fantastic they are in some Giant Food Stores and in some Whole Food Stores Website www.mydadscookies.com.
The Laundry Tree this company I also love this is an all natural laundry detergent like you probably have not seen before. This is soapnuts which is from India and Napal. They look like a combination of a plum pit attached to an acorn. This is a type of berry that is dried out to almost like a hard stone.
The website is www.laundrytree.com
My third business is Desert Wind Skin Care. This is an all natural skin care line. The website is www.desertwindskincare.com It only has about 5 ingredients in it and it is for people that are hypo sensitive to products
Thank you

PUCkETA CREEK SOAPNUTS PART 2
10/03/2011
I had told you before about an earlier post with Pucketa Cree Soapnuts which I said before I love. I still do.
The Pucketa Creek Soapnuts are a fabulous all natural hypoallergenic detergent and they are unscented. There are many things you can use these soapnuts after you are done using it as a detergent. I just made a fabulous shampoo out of them
All you have to do is take the soapnuts that you used in the laundry and boil them for about a half of an hour. then take out the soapnuts when cooled down. The liquid that is left is your shampoo. This will not have much suds to it but it will make your hair full of volume and shine and help your hair grow. If you like foam all you have to do is go to the website www.forsoapmakers.com there you will see foaming bottles. You can purchase one for 3.00 which will be a 7.5 oz bottle. When you get your bottle fill it with your soapnut liquid. If it is still not sudsey enough for you, you can ad a few table spoons of a liquid castile soap . I used Dr. Bonner's Castile scent . I used the unscented baby Castile soap. I put in about 2 tablespoons in with the soapnuts and it is wonderful.
My hair is full of volume soft shinny and the best part itch free.
I also just purchased some essential oils when I get them I will be putting some on and making my own shampoo scent. I always have had to use conditioner but with this I do not my hair looks and feels great.
My soapnut shampoo can be used as a shampoo, conditioner, soap, or as a facial.
You have got to try out these soapnuts . I am trying to get them into stores as soon as I have accomplished this I will let yu know . In the mean time please go to the website www.natural laundrysoap.net and purchase them there and best of all you can get your essential oils there too. I just put into my home made shampoo Sweet Orange Oil and Jasmine Oil and it smells wonderful and my skin is so soft.
ThankYou

GLUTEN FREE TASTYKAKE CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES
09/20/2011
I just discovered that in the Organics Gluten Free aisle at Giant Food Stores they now have the new TastyKake Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies Ho ray
These are really pretty good they have about 8 cookies in their container and they sell for $5.99
They are a fairly nice size cookie. They taste like a buttery coconut chocolate chip cookie, of course they are not organic or anything but still very good. They do have a home made taste to them and they are very moist, not crumbly. The chocolate chips in them are a fairly big chunky type of chip.
I think they are worth it in a pinch. If you had to get a quick desert snack type item in a pinch these could be the one to choose. No one would know that they are gluten free
I do think they are a little bit expensive for only eight cookies in the container but I think they are worth it.
The serving size is 1 cookie calories are 130
There are 12 grams of carbohydrate for 1 cookie
There are 8 grams of fat
There are 3 grams of saturated fat
1 gram of dietary fiber 9 grams of sugar and 3 grams of protein
The TastyKake website is www.tastykake.com and their telephone number is 1 800 24 tasty
Thank you

JULIAN BAKERY GLUTEN FREE PURITY BREAD
It has in it 09/15/2011
I just received this bread, it really is a very interesting bread. when you get it it is not sliced and it is round. It is a little bit smaller then most gluten free breads.
I would say that it is a cross between a Rye, Sour Dough and an English Muffin type of consistency
I do like it, I think it would be nice toasted open faced and maybe putting some cheese and pesto sauce on it.
This could be very nice for a family gathering with a nice wine
It also has almost like a touch of a cheese taste to it. It is a very interesting bread and best of all it is extremely good for you , especially for diabetics that have Celiac disease.
It has 8 grams of fiber to it , 7 grams of protein and best of all 0 grams of sugar.
It has 68 calories and 0 grams of fat per slice.
It has in it Grains of Buckwheat, Millet, Brown Rice Teff Flax seed ( Sprouted Beans of Navy, Black, Red Pinto, Baby Limas Large Limas Garbanzo, Great Northern Kidney, Blackeyed, Yellow and Green Split Peas, & Lentils). It also has in it Onion guar gum and Sea Salt .
They are located in La Jolla Ca. There are a few stores in Philadelphia that carry this bread. You just go to their website which is www.julianbakeery.com and you put in your zip code and they will let you know what stores carry it.
Their telephone number is 1- 800 98 BREAD.
I am very much impressed with this bread especially how much fiber and protein are in. When you toast this bread it will be crunchy on the outside and moist in the inside. This bread sells for 6.99 plus shipping. If you like to try things that are different then you will really like this bread it is different but in a good way.
Guaranteed to make you think of it again and again. I think this bread is perfect for the upcoming winter months. It would be good on a cold winter's night with a good bowl of a hearty gluten free soup and this bread toasted by the fire with a nice glass of Vino. I'm ready for winter now , I am prepared , all I can say is thank you to Julian bakery for making such a unique bread. .

NATURAL LAUNDRY SOAP BY PUCKETA CREEK SOAPNUTS
09/13/2011
I love this company this truly is all natural the other ones that I have talked about with Laundry detergents were natural also . This is straight from a tree. The product is soap nuts .. You can look at their website www.naturallaundrysoap.net
When you go to their website they will have on their an option for you to try their Natural Laundry Soap free of charge, you just pay for shipping which is not much I think when I did it it was 4.94 and it came very fast.
When you get your free sample which is scent free it will come in a little cotton bag .
It will look like 5 acorns inside the bag. This is what you use to clean your clothes. You just place your clothes in the washer, make sure that the soap nuts are in the bag and close the top of it and place it in your washer. If you have white clothes to boost the cleaning add a little bit of baking soda. Wash your clothes that is it . Take out the bag and you can reuse it up to 5 more times
On the website you can push the option for other uses for the nuts and it will show you that after you get done using it for laundry you can place it in a container put some boiling water over it and let it sit for a little bit. Once it is fully cool you strain it and this can be used as house hold cleaner soap for your hands or even hair wash best of all you have made it and it is all natural. This detergent is like getting 4 - 6 products for the price of one depending on what you decide to make of it. I just think it is so cool that you have something that is unscented and all natural that you do the laundry with and when you are done that usage you still have other options that you can make for skin care or for house hold cleaners. It just totally amazes me on what you can do with this one product.
If you can tolerate scents you can add essential oils to it to have the fragrance that you would like for your laundry or for your soap that you make up which would make a nice gift for someone. If you end of making the soap you can put it in a real nice container put the fragrance in by the essential oils that you choose then if you know how to crochet make a wash cloth to go with it. You can also make out of the soap nuts dish washing detergent which the website will show you how then once again make a dish cloth by crocheting one with 100 % natural yarn . The natural crocheted yarn dish cloth really cleans very well. It is stiffer then most dish cloths so you can really scrub with it to get your dishes clean.
To make a shampoo out of the soapnuts you just after you have used them for your laundry up to the 5 times you just get a sauce pan you boil about 3 cups a water when it is boiling you place your soapnuts in the pan and lower the heat so it does not boil over you let it simmer for about 15 to 20 minutes then turn off heat.
Yu let it cool down then strain it and pour it into an air type container with a lid.
That is it but it will not foam much it will take a little bit of time to get used to.
It will take about a week to two weeks for your hair to learn to adjust to this new form of cleaning your hair. but it will be worth the wait. You can make a foamy shampoo/soap by putting a little in a container about a half of a cup and use a hand held blender I used a battery operated blender that I use to make capachino. You then just place the blender in the container and blend to make the foam and it does foam up a lot but when you go to use it it will not stay thick a foam so it will take time to get used to but as they say good things come to those who persevere.
I wanted to let you also know that this natural detergent is also a natural fabric softener so you are getting two products in one.
This detergent is also antibacterial biodegradable and hypoallergenic.
Take a look at their website www.naturallaundrysoap.net You will be amazed with this product.
