Bisquick Gluten Free Pancake and Baking Mix

I have become a snob.A pancake/ waffle mix snob that is. I was stoked when I saw this on the grocery shelf and I was dancing in the kitchen when I was cooking this because Bisquick diving into the gluten free foods world is good for the community...or so I thought. However, when I tried the mix, I realized what a snob I have become...I hated the mix. It isn't that it is horrid but I have had better. Betty Crocker and General Mills are all companies that are now known for entering the gluten free market with good tasting products, I expected the same of Bisquick.  There are amazing companies that are soley GF that do it better!

What I made using Bob's Red Mill Quick Cooking Oats..

These oats are so yummy. If you have not discovered them, I suggest you go out and purchase them because they are simply amazing. I was eating this for breakfast for a while with blueberries and brown sugar. It was so incredible that my mouth is salivating just thinking about it.

I loved these Bob's Red Mill oats so much that I started thinking about what else I could use the oats for. Then I was reminded of a recipe that my Grandma would make for me. I searched for it and I found it online, here.


Amazing. Even better than the run of the mill oatmeal for breakfast! Everything is better when you add chocolate and peanut butter to it!

Have you guys ever made these cookies? What did you think? Do you like Bob's Red Mill products?

Kinnikinnick Cinnamon & Brown Sugar Homestyle Waffles

You will be pleased to know that these do in fact taste yummy. Top them off with your favorite fruits and perhaps some flax seed and you have yourself a winning meal to start your day off right! Especially because these Kinnikinnick waffles have no preservatives!

How to make homemade pancakes fluffier & my thoughts on a mix..

Buttermilk. It is a good way to make pancakes fluffier and I think yummy. I just started doing this and I totally notice a difference. When a mix says milk, I substitute low fat buttermilk and I think it helps!


Now, for my thoughts on this mix...I could take it or I could leave it. It is a good mix but there isn't a WOW factor. I think I prefer the Trader Joe's Mix to it actually.

Trader Joe's Gluten Free & Dairy Free Homestyle Pancakes

I have been on a total pancake/ waffle kick with my son. I think my obsession is mainly based because I can load up pancakes with berries, bananas and raisins and we are starting our day off right. My new favorite is not a mix but a box with makes it totally easy because sometimes I don't have time in the morning to deal with the hassle of mixes. Trader Joe's has a GF and Dairy Free box available in their freezer section. My favorite part is that they come wrapped already packaged according to serving size. The picture shows the serving size (3 pancakes with syrup and raspberries) This breakfast is awesome!

Glutino: Cinnamon French Toast

I got so excited when I saw these at my grocery store! I have been longing for french toast for a while and I love Glutino products so I knew that I had to pick these up. It was the first time ever that my son and I both ate French Toast at breakfast together!

While I did really enjoy the product, it was slightly rubbery at first so I had to add more syrup to it and then it was perfect!

If you guys are hankering for french toast, pick up Glutino Cinnamon French Toast!

Happy Saturday! This Is My Super Breakfast :)

Day Six of Every Day Is A New Post This Week!

Happy SATURDAY!!!!!!!!!! I LOVE weekends :) They are a great! They are full of opportunity to unwind from the week. You will probably need a ton of energy to accomplish whatever awesome adventure it is that you have to embark on today! That is why I am posting my favorite breakfast! This always keeps me full all day long and I usually do not get hungry for lunch when I make it. I just pack a snack to go and I am set till dinner time :)

It is so simple and easy to make! All you need is spinach, portobello mushrooms, eggs and cheese!

Grab a pan and spray it with oil. Saute the mushrooms and spinach until they are cooked.


Add the eggs...
Add cheese. You can use as much or as little as you want!

Fold over the eggs. This helps melt the cheese and form an omelet.
Serve. Relax. Enjoy.Have a wonderful day :) See you tomorrow!

Cupcake Pebbles! OMG!

I received an email asking me if the new Cupcake Pebbles cereal was gluten free the other day. When I saw the words cupcake and Pebbles in the same sentence, I almost squealed with delight! I got on the Post Cereals Website and checked out the ingredients. Everything looked gluten free, just like my favorite gluten free cereal, Fruity Pebbles! I quickly responded to the emailer (thank you by the way for letting me know about this) and I couldn't wait to see if my local store carried this!

I went to the store yesterday to look for this brand spankin new cereal. When I found the box I got super excited! I ended up eating this for dinner!

The Review:

You all know I adore cupcakes! So, do these actually taste like cupcakes? Yeah they do! These taste like cupcakes mixed with Rice Crispy cereal. These are very tasty, however, I am not sure if these will become my favorite cereal. I think that I need to eat more to find out if it can dethrone Fruity Pebbles!

Jessica's All Natural Gluten-Free Granola

Since going gluten free, there have been a long list of items that I miss eating on a regular basis and granola is one of them. So, when I was given the opportunity to try three types of gluten free granola I jumped at it!

I think I may have made granola out to be something major in my head because when I saw these beautiful packages from Jessica's All Natural I almost cried tears of joy. I was able to indulge in granola goodness once again and not feel guilty because after all, gluten free means better for me...at least to my celiac self!

There are no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives in Jessica's granola products and I find that really important.

CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA
Ah-mazing! From the first bite to the last I was in heaven...serving size went out the window for this glutton! It is no wonder that this didn't last more than a day in my house! It was my favorite flavor of the cereals, but I am also a chocoholic and I should probably be in some sort of twelve step program.

So, if you can handle sticking to the serving size on this delicious cereal, here are the stats:

Serving Size: 1/4 cup
Calories: 130
Total Fat: 6 grams
Total Carbs: 16 grams
Sugar: 4 grams
Protein: 3 grams

Vanilla Maple Granola
Yummy and sweet. I love how there is a honey taste intertwined with the vanilla. This is the simplest of the three flavors I sampled. It is perfect for when you want a cereal that isn't overwhelming.

Serving Size: 1/4 cup
Calories: 130
Total Fat: 6 grams
Total Carbs: 16 grams
