It's Candlemas Day! For those unfamiliar, "Candlemas is a Christian holiday occurring annually on February 2 that is commemorating the Presentation of Jesus at the Temple when he was a baby." In France, they celebrate this by eating crepes, which i am ALWAYS happy to do! Try this gluten free crepe recipe from MamaGourmand, which uses Cup 4 Cup flour.

What is NSF Gluten Free Certification? It's Girl Scout Cookie time, and that means Toffee Tastic cookies are available again. They are certified gluten fre by NSF. In my blog post, I sharea about NSF's 5 step certification process. All products they certify must meet the requirement of under 20 ppm. https://miglutenfreegal.com/nsf-gluten-free-certification-progra/ *Per the Girl Scout website, the gluten free Caramel Chocolate Chip cookies are certified gluten free by GFCO. The first ingredient is oat flour. See the full list of ingredients on this link. https://www.girlscouts.org/en/cookies/cookie-flavors.html *P.S. This post is meant to be informative about NSF and their certification process. This isn't a post about whether or not you like the taste of the cookies.

What Candy Do You Buy for Valentine's Day? I hihgly recommend Amanda's Own Confections: Allergy-friendly Chocolates & Sweets, Enjoy Life Foods and No Whey Chocolate

IT’S BACK!!!! [AD] If you’ve been waiting for the Hook Line and Savor Everything Crusted Cod to return to Costco stores, your moment has arrived. If you’ve never had it, your taste buds are in for a delicious surprise. Hook Line and Savor’s Wild-caught Icelandic Cod is lightly crusted with a blend of everything seasonings. I like to prepare mine in the air fryer, which helps the coating to stay nice and crispy. Serve it with fries, or even turn it into a fish sandwich! Not only is this fish gluten free, but it’s also dairy-free, and egg-free and made with no soy, peanuts, tree nuts or sesame. Click the SHOP button on the Hook Line and Savor website to find this gluten free cod at Costco stores in the Southeast and Midwest. http://hooklineandsavor.com/shop.html #Sponsored #HookLineAndSavor #RealDelishFish #DeepDownDelicious #GlutenFree

The Gluten Intolerance Group is reporting concerns about Safe and Fair granola. This includes both the Honeycrips Apple Pie Flavor and the Banana Bread Granola. As a reminder, Gluten Free Watchdog first reported concerns about the Honeycrisp Apple PIe granola at the beginning of January. https://www.facebook.com/GlutenIntoleranceGroup/photos/a.428067505772/10159199873140773

I Could Eat This With a Spoon. This new recipe from Fit Mitten Kitchen sounds amazing. Then again, anything with Feta Cheese sounds amazing.

Dark Chocolate Chunk Cookies This recipe has a blend of dark chocolate chunks, semi sweet chips, and contains no eggs or dairy! Instead of butter or shortening, this recipe uses tahini. (Which is made from sesame seeds.) And unlike other cookies that dry out after they're baked, these cookies actually taste even better the second or third day!

6. Don't Shop Hungry. https://gluten.org/2021/04/19/5-ways-to-reduce-the-stress-of-shopping-gluten-free/ QUESTION: What other tips would you give?

Life Is Short Tonight I'm treating my husband to a very expensive dinner for his birthday. And he's worth every penny. We aren't usually big spenders. We try to live frugually. We save where we can, and plan for the future. We mainly live off of his teacher's salary, and we try to live within our means. But if the past three years have reminded me of anything, is that life is short. And you have to let people know just how much they matter when they're here. So splurge on the expensive meal. Take the trip. Buy the fancy clothes and go out on the town together. They, and you, are worth it.

Do You Miss Shake and Bake? While Aleia's Gluten Free Foods has had their standard Coat and Crunch for years, they recently launched a Lemon Herb Coat and Crunch. Just add your chicken (or fish!) to the coat and crunch mixutre, shake, bake and eat! https://www.aleias.com/product/aleias-coat-crunch-lemon-herb/ Link to their store locator - https://www.aleias.com/store-locator/ Amazon affiliate link - https://amzn.to/3JtKpGs

I made this for dinner last night and my husband LOVED it. It may be the best way for cooking tofu I've found. Recipe by From My Bowl (Most of her recipes are gluten free, and vegan.)
