Pumpkin Cake review...

Hi all. The past week has been pretty much gloom and doom here in Ohio with all the rain and wind we have had lately. I just returned home this past Friday from a week long trip visiting family in Pa., and I will be leaving once again tomorrow for just a few days to attend the grand "Twins" graduation ceremony.

It seems that I have done so much traveling lately that all I want to do is to stay home for awhile now. On days like today, when I feel my stress level begin to escalate while getting ready for the trip,  I did what soothes me the most....and that is BAKE!

I had a Pumpkin cake mix in my pantry from my friends at Taste of Gluten Free so I decided to take a few minutes to relax my mind, and settle myself down.  Besides... I need SUGAR when I am stressed!

The cake turned out delicious as I knew it would.  All products I have tried from this company so far have been quite delicious. The cake was light, fluffy and moist. I once again was not disappointed. The cake makes 9 servings with only 8g of sugar per slice, not a bad way to satisfy a sweet tooth...

I am anxious to try their chocolate and vanilla cake mixes as well since I am currently taking a cake decorating class. If I am going to make my cakes look pretty, I darn well want them to taste delicious too!

Well I am off to finish packing...and enjoy another piece of pumpkin cake :-)

Have a great gluten free day!

Zucchini bread from XO Baking Co.


Do you want to be able to bake delicious  goodies without all the hassle of figuring out the recipes for yourself? Then drop by the X O Baking Company site. This company has already figured out what tastes great, and now you can make it at home without all the hassle of going it alone!

Their mixes include both sweet and savory goods. All of them are simple to make, and quite delicious! I recently made their Gluten Free Zucchini bread Mix and it was not only easy to make, but quite good. I love the fact they included coconut flour to add a little fiber to the mix. The bread came out nicely browned, moist, and was so delicious fresh from the oven with some butter on top. Mmmmm...All their products are certified gluten free and Kosher.

They offer a All Purpose Flour, Banana Bread Mix, Corn Bread Mix, Pumpkin Bread Mix, Zucchini Bread Mix and Pancake & Waffle Mix.

For more sweeter desserts be sure to check out their Oatmeal Cookie Mix, Gingerbread Cookie Mix, Pound Cake Mix, Double Chocolate Peppermint Mix, Sugar Cookie Mix, Fudge Brownie Mix and Cupcake and Frosting mixes! They offer 19 mixes in all, quite a selection.

I have used several of their mixes before and have never been disappointed. They always come out to perfection and leave you coming back for seconds. I hope you drop by the site and order a few mixes. By the way....their brownies are to die for!!!!!!!

Happy gluten-free baking!

Buckwheat - Gluten Free -- Grass Free

 Buckwheat, which is actually not in the wheat family at all, has somehow gotten a bad rap over the years. I personally have avoided it basi...
