Choco Perfection European Dark Chocolate Bars

The Choco Perfect dark chocolate bars are delicious. I have a couple of squares every day. Dark chocolate is a good source for anti-oxidants and this bar contains 60% Cocoa. What I like the most about these bars is that they are sugar free and loaded with fiber (14 grams per bar).

I would not recommend devouring a bar right away but rather start with one square a day. The reason is that this bar is sweetend with Erythitol. It is a natural sweetener that can cause some bloating/gas if taken in excess. I personally did not have any problems with the Erythitol.

Also, I did not like the Raspberry Chocolate. These bars can be found at Nature's Pavillion in Pompton Plains. I also found then on a website called www.netrition.com. This site charged me twice but then reversed it 2 days later. I don't recommend using a debit card for orders through that site!

Glutino Chocolate Chip Cookies

This is a good gluten free chocolate chip cookie made with semi-sweet chips. They can be found @ www.glutenfreemall.com. Make sure you buy a bag that has not been crushed as the cookies do crumble too much.

Baby Cakes Bakery

You have to visit Baby Cakes Bakery located @ 248 Broom Street in NYC. They have a large selection of gluten free baked goods that taste like "the real thing". We tried a few products and our favorites were the cookies and banana bread. I had to keep asking if the banana bread truly was gluten free because it tasted THAT good. The banana bread was moist and tasty with a fresh banana flavor. What I like most about Baby Cakes is that they primary use agave nectar in their baked goods instead of sugar. Baby Cakes also ships baked goods! You can call them at 212-677-5047. Please tell them you found them on Gluten Free Mary!

Amy's Gluten Free Pizzas

Amy's Gluten free pizzas actually taste very good. As an Italian girl, I like to give my a little extra seasoning by drizzling with some olive oil, adding some more fresh basil and other toppings such as olives.

Amy's introduced a personal size gluten free and dairy free pizza which is perfect for my asthmatic daughter. She has eaten 3 in 10 days!

Be careful when you select our pizza's at the grocer's freezer as Amy's also makes regular pizzas. Make sure it says "gluten free". Enjoy and don't forget to come back on the blog and tell me how you liked the pizza!

Ian's Chicken Nuggets

My kids love the Ian's Chicken Nuggets. They are free of just about everything including gluten, soy, dairy, peanuts and many other allergens. It is hard for a child to go gluten free and it's great that Ian's offers this alternative to breaded chicken nuggets. Ian's has a full line of gluten and other allergy friendly products. I found the Ian's Chicken Nuggets at Nature's Pavillion in Pompton Plains.
