Patsy Pie sent us a goody box full of yumminess! All the items were shelf stable except for their brownies that needed to be frozen upon delivery. Well, to be honest with you, none of them made it to the freezer! : ) We ate all of them. They were THAT good. Our almost 4 year old ate 2-3 of them in a sitting. I finally told him he had had enough and that he could have another one tomorrow. Unfortunately, Mommy & Daddy finished the bag off that night! They were really moist for something that came in a bag. They had chocolate chips inside of the chocolate brownies and for a chocolate lover like myself, that was a good thing. They were small enough that we could eat them in 2 bites. Perfect for a quick & delicious dessert!

Another Patsy Pie treat that I loved was the biscotti! The almond ones were really tasty. Nice texture and simple taste. Really nice snack with coffee! My favorite one was the cranberry orange! Big chunks of soft, moist cherries with a hint of orange infused into the biscotti. Yum! A perfect companion to my cup of hot tea & even better when I dipped it into the tea! Truthfully, I wasn’t a big fan of biscotti before I tasted the cranberry orange variety! Double Yum!

Now for the cookies, I tried the chocolate chip, the peanut butter, the raisin & the snappy gingers. My favorite was the snappy ginger. I’m much more into softer style cookies and the ginger was really soft & fresh tasting… the perfect cookie to dip into coffee. I liked that the ginger is more subtle in this cookie, too. The chocolate chip & peanut butter cookies had good flavor but I’m not a fan of crunchy style cookies, which these both were. The raisin was another soft cookie, interesting flavor (almost a corn bread taste) and raisins are always a happy surprise in a cookie!

Overall, Patsy Pie offers really yummy gluten free treats! Who needs gluten? Not I, especially when Patsy Pie is in our home! To grab some Patsy Pie treats for yourself head over to their website: www.patsypie.com.

Yesterday UPS dropped off a package of some GF mixes, courtesy of Bob’s Red Mill! Thank you! Cool surprise! Of course, I couldn’t wait to try the GF pizza dough mix that was in the box of goodies!

It’s a flour concoction that I had to add some oil, water, yeast packet (which was included in the bag) and eggs. Mixed it all together, let it rise, wet my hands, spread it out and popped it into the oven for a few minutes.

Pulled it out, added some sauce & cheese & back into the oven it went for about 20 minutes. Wow! The dough was great! Best pizza dough yet. It was nice and thick and chewy and tasted like a hearty healthy wheat dough.

It was really good. I wasn’t too pleased with the pizza sauce but I’m not surprised since it was just out of a jar (I didn’t have all the ingredients for home made & always keep a jar in the cupboard- just in case!) I should’ve probably spiced the sauce up a bit but oh well… it was really just a test for the dough. It was the perfect dinner for our busy day & night since we didn’t have much time left over to clean up and get our candles & flashlights ready for our Earth Hour adventure! Milo was quiet and we had Aiden in his play tent with flashlights eating GF chocolate chip cookies! Great night. Thank you to Bob’s Red Mill for the package of goodies. We also got a package of Bob’s Red Mill GF flour mix & GF brownie mix. We’ll let you know how those turn out, soon!
