EARTHPASTE..by Redmond Trading Brands...

Today I tried EARTHPASTE, a all natural tooth paste from Redmond Trading Brands. I had initially contacted the company with a interest in their Real Salt product, and they were kind enough to send me several of their other products to sample as well. I have used this tooth paste the past several days now, and I have to tell you that my mouth has never felt fresher!

Each ingredient comes from the earth, and EARTHPASTE comes in its natural color, the way it should be, with NO artificial colorings. This paste delivers all the benefits that you expect from a tooth paste with none of the added chemicals, unnatural additives, or fluorides. I really like the fact that it is safe for my young grandchildren in case they should swallow it, or kids of all ages :)

I received their Lemon Twist, and Wintergreen flavors to sample and review, and have enjoyed both. I have to say though that my favorite was the Lemon Twist. I liked the fact that I didn't have all that "FOAM" in my mouth that usually makes me gag when brushing my teeth from my regular tooth paste. The Lemon Twist left my breath fresh, with a soft lemon taste following the brushing.

The company offers four flavors. Cinnamon, Lemon Twist, Peppermint, and Wintergreen. Although the Wintergreen also has a great taste, I personally prefer the Lemon Twist. The ingredients list is simple and yet beneficial.

Lemon Twist:
Purified water, Food Grade Redmond Clay, Xylitol, Real Salt, Lemon Essential Oil, Lemon Verbana Essential Oil, Tangerine Essential Oil, Lime Essential Oil.

Wintergreen:
Purified Water, Food Grade Redmond Clay, Xylitol, Wintergreen Essential Oil, Menthol, Redmond Real Salt, Tea Tree Oil

Each come in a 4oz tube and sell for just $7.99. I would recommend this toothpaste highly as it is all natural, and safe for all ages. You can find all the flavors and information about other products they offer at  http://www.redmondinc.com/our-brands/for-your-body/

Until next time...Have a great wheat free day!

Taste Of Gluten Free's Chocolate Chip Cookies mix...

I am expecting company tomorrow and as usual when I should be vacuuming, dusting, and all the other things that need done when you are expecting guests,.... I decided to bake cookies....I bake when I get stressed!!

Everyone seems to love the all time favorite chocolate chip, and since Taste Of Gluten Free was kind enough to send me their Chocolate Chip Cookie mix to sample and review,  what better time to give them a try.

I have to admit that at the present I am about half way through the baking and I have already sampled 3 cookies, one from each batch as they come out of the oven. Couldn't help myself! These taste so much like the the Nestle Toll House recipe that it is hard to tell they are gluten free!

The recipe calls for butter, but being the brave baker that I am I decided to opt for margarine. I feel sometimes that butter in a recipe takes away from the other flavors I want impacted. Definitely margarine cannot be substituted for butter in all recipes, but I found that substituting it in this particular mix worked well for me.

The cookies rose to perfection and the smell in the house was quite fragrant. I have tried making gluten free chocolate chip cookies before from scratch, but find that this mix saved me allot of time, money, and stress.

The last batch is in the oven as I write, and I find that I will have 5 dozen cookies from this mix as I must have made them a little smaller than normal. Their home site says the mix will make about 3 dozen. They were quite easy to make and definitely delicious. You just add butter, (or margarine...I used Country Crock), 2 eggs and 1 teaspoon of vanilla. The chips are not in the mix so you will have to add your own, but that is okay with me as I can add a few extra for a more chocolate taste. The more the merrier!!! (Check out Costco's in your area for huge bags of Nestle Chips, at HUGE savings)

Taste Of Gluten Free products are made in the USA in Georgia. Their mission is simple: to provide the best products and service to their customers at the lowest prices possible. They are commitment to customer service by offering the best & easiest do it yourself mixes for you to create great tasting fresh baked bread and goodies. All products on their site cost $6.00, whether bread, cookie, pizza crust, or cake mixes. It would me cost that much to buy all the fours separately, and I believe I still wouldn't come up with as good of a cookie as this.

You can purchase their mixes at http://www.TasteOfGlutenFree.net They accept Visa, MasterCard, as well as Discover for purchases. They also offer a 100% guarantee or your money back, although I am sure you will definitely be satisfied with this mix! Delivery is 3-5 days after the item is shipped from their facilities.

I loved this mix and the flavor of the cookies so much I am off to have another :)

Have a great wheat free day.
