    Hail Merry's Gluten-Free Blonde Macaroons

    Reviewed and edited by a celiac disease expert.
    Hail Merry's Gluten-Free Blonde Macaroons -

    I was very surprised when I received a care package of Hail Merry's gluten-free blonde macaroons.  I absolutely love coconut and have always had bit of a sweet tooth, but in the past I haven't always had the best of luck with gluten-free macaroons.  Usually, I find macaroons to be way too sweet, high in fat and calories or the texture is just wrong.  Despite the charming packaging that contained these macaroons, I still had my doubts – but who am I kidding?  I love coconut! 

    Open Original Shared LinkWhen I took my first bite I noticed that the texture of these macaroons was soft, slightly chewy, but not overly sweet – I guess they read my mind about my usual complaints about most macaroons – they tasted great.  I found the size of each macaroon (just short of the size of a golf ball) was just the perfect size to get satisfaction for a sweet tooth like me, but the best part is that they only have 70 calories and 5.5 grams of fat each!  How can this be?

    Upon further reading of their packaging I noticed that Hail Merry didn't cut any corners when they developed these little bites of goodness!  The ingredient list is short , wholesome and surprisingly these macaroons are not only raw and vegan, but are only lightly sweetened with maple syrup.  I must also mention that shredded coconut has twice the fiber of oats, and that coconut oil is known to contribute to healthier hair, skin and can help aid proper digestion. 

    I absolutely loved the taste of these macaroons with their real coconut flavor and texture!  These macaroons give a "junk food" taste with the quality and nutrition that you wouldn't expect from such a nice little treat – in my book they are definitely worth trying!

    After many years of unexplained medical issues, I was finally diagnosed with celiac disease in 2002.  The first couple of years were a rough road traveled, but I am feeling better than I ever have.  It is important that I share what I have learned over the years with others and to do my part to help raise awareness of celiac disease.

    Mr. Krispers Sour Cream & Onion Baked Rice Krisps (Gluten-Free)
    Celiac.com 02/26/2010 - I tried Mr. Krispers Sour Cream & Onion Baked Rice Krisps, which are small and thin gluten-free crackers, and I must say that they are truly outstanding…I ate the whole 4.2 oz. bag and found myself licking my fingers after they were all gone.  It is really impossible to eat just one of these tasty little baked, gluten-free rice thins—actually if you can stop at half a bag your will power would be exponentially greater than mine was!
    This product reminds me of sour cream & onion potato chips, but the nice thing about Mr. Krispers is that they are baked instead of fried, and the ingredients include brown rice flour, so you get 1 gram of fiber per serving (4% of the “Daily Value”), or if you are like me you would get 20% of your daily fiber by eating t...

    Riega Yellow Cheddar Cheese Sauce Mix Makes Perfect Gluten-Free Macaroni & Cheese
    Last night I made macaroni & cheese for dinner using Riega Yellow Cheddar Cheese Sauce Mix. The sauce came out perfect, and was creamy, cheesy, and flavorful. Our whole family loved it, and what I really liked about it was being able to use my favorite gluten-free macaroni noodles, as I am very picky about my pasta.
    This is one of the best gluten-free cheese sauces that I've tried, and it was quick and easy to prepare. This family favorite is always welcome for a quick hot lunch, or a dinner time side dish, and I will keep these on hand from now on.

    Attune Foods Erewhon Buckwheat and Hemp Gluten-Free Cereal
    One of the biggest complaints I have about the gluten-free food industry is that corn is usually brought in to fill the gaping whole left by the removal of wheat. Corn tastes great and all, but personally, I prefer a more nutritious wheat alternative whenever possible, so long as it still tastes good (which many do, e.g. quinoa and buckwheat). With Erewhon Buckwheat and Hemp Cereal, Attune Foods has crafted something of a gluten-free 'corn flakes' alternative (just to be clear, corn flakes are NOT gluten-free), which is made from two superfoods that we should all eat more of: buckwheat and hemp seed.
    Buckwheat is commonly found in top superfood lists because of its low glycemic index and high protein content. Hemp seed is a little less common in top superfood lists, perhaps because people...
