Oh How I LOVE GF Brownies!!

I have had a few different gf brownie mixes that I purchased from Hyvee. If you see gf brownie mix at the store and you are a brownie lover all I have to say is GET IT AND MAKE THEM! You will wonder why they don't make 'regular' brownies this way! They are great and far better than any brownies I've had before. My gluten eating friends and family agree! My personal favorite is the Gluten Free Pantry Chocolate Truffle Brownie Mix.


Different 'Mainstream' Foods/Ideas

This is a great post for parents with fussy kids, it's more a list of my favorite mainstream foods that are safe.

CHIPS
A lot of chips are safe but I know that I liked Pringles a lot, and unfortunatley they are not GF, so I found that Lays Stax or Baked!Lays and Baked!Ruffles chips are a great alternative and have the same sort of texture and tast of Pringles!

CEREAL
Fruity Pebbles, Cocoa Pebbles and my new love, Cupcake Pebbles are GF (which is great for me, because those were my absolute faves before all this!)

HOT DOGS
Thank god for Oscar Myer Wieners! Their dogs are gf! :)

ASIAN HELPER
HAMBURGER HELPER has a line of "Asian Helper" rice dishes that have a big "GLUTEN FREE" label across the front of the box.

My Favorite GF Mac & Cheese

This is a really simple and my favorite way I have found to make mac & cheese that tastes just like Kraft! What I do is buy a bag of Tinkiyada pasta, they have shells, spirals, penne, ect. I really like their penne, and I am not a penne fan, theirs is like giant yummy elbow maccaroni! Their pastas don't get mushy and they taste fab!!! Plus, theres a lot in a bag!



Then I get a Kraft Macaroni & Cheese popcorn topping. Its usually by the popcorn, or other unrefrigerated cheeses at Hyvee or Wal Mart, and you can put it on popcorn, veggies, potatoes, or whatever else you desire. It's pretty much just the same cheese powder that comes in a box of Kraft Maccaroni & Cheese.



I boil up the pasta, rinse, add some milk, margarine and the cheese and wala!

5/5!!

Deboles Pasta & Cheddar REVIEW

I love mac & cheese and have had different kinds, and made it my own different ways since I've had to go gluten free, this is the cheepest boxed kind I've found, even though it's still quite pricy.

I've had other deboles pastas (spaghetti and spirals) and havent gotten them since because they are not as great as others I have found.

When you make this mac & cheese, it it looks unappealing, the cheese powder is white and it looks like pasta with glue! But surprisingly, it tastes good! In my opinion, Annies is better though.

Overall I give it a 4/5
