Review: Zenergy Powerballs


I recently sampled a sweet snack that is gluten free, vegan, and made from energy boosting superfoods called Zenergy Powerballs.

Zenergy Powerballs creator Peggy Sue Honeyman-Scott describes them as "Scrumptious orbs of goodness made from an exotic combination of raw, vegan and organic ingredients."  I must agree, I find Zenergy Powerballs to be delicious, and I feel good about eating such a healthy snack!

Zenergy Powerballs creator Peggy Sue Honeyman-Scott
My Dad was visiting me when I received my Zenergy Powerball samples, and he could not stop eating them!  In fact, I had to ask him to save some for me to review! :)  They are not overly sweet, yet they perfectly satisfy my sweet tooth.  My Dad and I agree that we would be happy to snack on Zenergy Powerballs anytime!  His favorite was the coconut, but that didn't stop him from eating the yummy Goji Berry and Almond varieties.  I liked all three varieties equally!

Cookbook Review: The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten Free by Anne Byrn



The book I have been dreaming of for 3 years is finally here!  The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten Free is available in stores as of December 8, 2010.  I was a big fan of The Cake Mix Doctor prior to my daughter's Celiac Disease diagnoses 3 years ago.  Back then, I was on a personal mission to bake every cake in the original Cake Mix Doctor cookbook.  I was off to a pretty good start until I found out that my daughter could no longer have gluten.  During my initial "loss of gluten mourning period" the thought that I would never be able to bake anymore cakes from my Cake Mix Doctor cookbook bothered me significantly.

I am a determined individual and wasn't ready to say goodbye to The Cake Mix Doctor recipes, so I decided to be pro-active instead of re-active.  I sent an e-mail to Anne Byrn (a.k.a The Cake Mix Doctor), shared my story with her and suggested that she write a Gluten Free Cake Mix Doctor cookbook.  I didn't receive a reply, so I wrote her again a few months later.  And again.  And again.  You get the picture.

After the better part of a year, I found an e-mail in my inbox from the Cake Mix Doctor.  I was expecting to read an auto-response, but was delighted to read that Anne Byrn herself had replied!  She explained that she had been on a book tour for many months, which is why she hadn't replied to my previous e-mails.  She surprised me by saying she liked the idea of a Gluten Free Cake Mix Doctor cookbook, and wanted to know what some of my favorite gluten free cake mixes were.

As the months passed, I didn't hear any news so I e-mailed Anne for an update.  I couldn't believe it when she replied and told me that her publisher had approved the Gluten Free Cake Mix Doctor project and that she was actually writing the book!  Shortly after that, I was honored when she called me on the phone and asked me to test a few recipes for the book; at that time I shared that I felt the recipes should include dairy free options as well.

Finally, the book is complete!  Anne just sent me a review copy of The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten Free and it is absolutely fabulous!  I was surprised and flattered beyond words that Anne included me in the book's acknowledgments.  She also tells "my story" in the book's foreword.  To top it off, she added my Gluten Free Taste of Home blog in the gluten free resources section!  It feels amazing and surreal to know that my concerns were taken seriously and manifested into reality by the kind, talented, Anne Byrn (a.k.a The Cake Mix Doctor).  This experience taught me that I should never give up on my dreams, no mater how unattainable they may seem!

About the book:

"Anne Byrn shows how to transform gluten-free cake mixes into 76 rich, decadent, easy-to-make, impossible-to-resist desserts. Performing the magic that’s made her a bestselling baking author with over 33 million copies of her books in print, she doctors mixes with additions like almond extract, fresh berries, cocoa powder, grated coconut, cinnamon, lime zest, and more—naturally, all gluten-free ingredients—and voilà: Tres Leches Cake with Whipped Cream and Summer Berries, Almond Cream Cheese Pound Cake, Chocolate Cupcakes with Milk Chocolate Ganache, Caramel Melted Ice Cream Cake, Warm Tarte Tatin Apple Cake, plus brownies, bars, muffins, and cookies. Dessert is back on the menu."

Why I love this book:


The recipes in The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten Free are delicious and beautiful enough to serve to company, yet they never taste like they came from a mix.  My favorite thing about preparing Anne's recipes is that they always turn out wonderful... I have never made a Cake Mix Doctor recipe that my family didn't enjoy!  To top it off, the recipes from The Cake Mix Doctor Bakes Gluten Free can prepared in less time than from scratch desserts, freeing up more time to spend with my family.

I deeply appreciate that Anne decided to include dairy free options for nearly all of the recipes so more people can eat them.  If you are dairy free you will most likely be able to come up with dairy free alternatives for the very few recipes that do not include them (try Mimic Creme in place of cream, and So Delicious Dairy Free frozen desserts in place of ice cream).  Since my daughter is dairy free that is what I plan to do.


The bottom line is, if you love cake, cookies, brownies, and bars and need to bake gluten free, you will definitely want to add this book to your cookbook collection!

There are also many recipes in this book that are perfect for the holidays; for example, my family made and decorated the adorable Gingerbread Boys & Girls recipe.  The recipe starts with a yellow cake mix.  Easy and fun!

Thank you Anne for giving this amazing gift to the gluten free community!

Review: NEW Gluten Free Risotto Chips


Risotto Chips are brand new gluten free whole grain chips in 3 flavors from a company called New York Style.  These great tasting chips are crunchy, flavorful, and made with all natural ingredients.  The primary ingredient is rice flour made from Arborio and whole grain brown rice flour; with 0 grams of trans fat and 11 grams of whole grains, Risotto Chips offer big time flavor in a healthy way.

My family sampled all three flavors of Risotto Chips and we really like them!  Here is what we thought of them...

Spicy Marinara Risotto Chips:

My whole family liked this flavor the best.  This is a spicy chip that reminds us of a (healthier) version of seasoned Doritos.  The spice blend is wonderful!

Parmesan and Roasted Garlic Risotto Chips:

Although my youngest daughter couldn't sample this flavor because it is not dairy free, the rest of my family tried and liked these.  The flavors in this chip are subtle in comparison to the Spicy Marinara flavor, which is a nice change when you are not in the mood for something spicy (which is rare for me!).

Sea Salt Risotto Chips:

We felt that this flavor most resembles a traditional tortilla chip in flavor.  It is a great neutral choice for serving along side guacamole, salsa, or the dip of your choice.  Or, you may just want to enjoy them plain!


Overall, we feel that Risotto Chips have a delicious pronounced whole grain flavor, and find the texture to be the perfect combination of light and crunchy.  We love that we can feel good about eating them.  Risotto Chips get two thumbs up from my family!

Cookbook Giveaway & Review: Free for All Cooking by Jules E. Dowler Shepard PLUS Bonus Recipe


In her new Cookbook Free for All Cooking 150 Easy Gluten-Free, Allergy-Friendly Recipes the Whole Family Can Enjoy, author Jules E. Dowler Shepard shares tasty recipes for the many people following a gluten-free diet (and also have other food sensitivities to deal with).  For example, my daughter cannot have gluten or dairy, so these recipes are perfect for my family.

Jules' goal is to provide her readers with delicious recipes that will "satisfy everyone’s needs without making three different dinners."  I agree with that!  It just isn't feasible for busy people like you and I to be short-order cooks at home.  Free for All Cooking can help solve this frustrating dilemma.  

The recipes in Free for All Cooking are not only gluten free, but can also be made free of many major allergen ingredients such as dairy, nuts, soy, eggs (and more) to fit your personal dietary needs. 

Jules’has also included a handy comprehensive ingredient guide in this book, which allows you to substitute with ease as you prepare:
- Crusty French Baguette
- Easy Homemade Ravioli
- Southern Biscuits
- Crab Cakes or Veggie "Crab" Cakes
- Authentic Pizza
- Granola Bars
- Chewy Chocolate Chip Cookies
- Dairy-Free Cheesecake

Sounds yummy, don't you think?  I can't wait to try these recipes!

Dowler Shepard is the author of The First Year: Celiac Disease and Living Gluten-Free, a reference guide for newly diagnosed celiacs, and the popular cookbook Nearly Normal Cooking for Gluten-Free Eating.

My thoughts on this book...



Mommy, What is Celiac Disease? is a unique children's book that thoughtfully explains Celiac Disease to a newly diagnosed child. Author Katie Chalmers has created a gem of a book that I feel would be useful on the shelf of every Celiac child, GI doctor, public and school library, and school classroom. Katie Chalmers wrote this book for her young daughter with Celiac disease, which undoubtedly accounts for the loving tone in which this book is presented.

My own young daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease three years ago and already has a comprehensive understanding of Celiac Disease, but we still found this book engaging and extremely enjoyable.  I would have loved to have read this to her when she was newly diagnosed, as I feel it explains Celiac Disease more thoroughly to a child than other books of this type that we have read.  We both especially like the illustrations, which were colorful and married well with the story.

I highly recommend this book!
