What makes my world go round?

Dang it, but I truly love brownies.  I might go so far as to say that I luurve brownies.  Giving up brownies when I was diagnosed with celiac disease was the hardest thing I've ever done.

Then I found Pamela.

Pamela's brownie mix is my all-time favorite. It's so good, that my gf-shunning husband will even recommend making brownie sundaes out of them. I adore them, and although they're not cheap, they're an easy easy mix to use and the results are terrific. There's big chunks of chocolate in the mix, and they bake up nice and fluffy and delicious.

Another nice perk of the mix is that there are several different preparation variations on the bag. I usually make the original recipe, but I've also made the vegan recipe once. My mother was in town, and I wanted her to be able to share them with me. They were a little less fluffy that way, but they were still tasty!

If you're ever looking for a great gf brownie, my vote goes to Pamela. Super yum.

Testing, Testing.... Is this thing on?

Hey, guys!

It's been a while, hasn't it?  Well, I've been busy with life and teaching and breeding my bulldog and tending to kids with flu and mono and shopping and cruising and video games... ....

You get the idea.

Well, I wanted to let you know that I had the chance to try Triumph Dining's new Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide and it is awesome.  I don't live near a big city or anything, and don't eat out much, so it took me a while to really get a feel for it and get used to using it.  At work and over the holidays, though, it really made it's worth known.

If you've been debating whether or not you should get one and wondering if it would be worth it, then yes. YES it's worth it. And it's easy: you can look up restaurants by city or by name, either one.

I leave it in my car so that it's with me everywhere I go. I really can just go out to lunch now like I used to, and it's super great. 

(PS Yeah, they gave it to me for free to review, but they didn't make me promise to like it or offer to pay me for this review. Full disclosure and what-not)
