Food Review: Pillsbury GF Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough



During the week, I had purchased Pillsbury GF Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough. I had been excited about this product, ever since Pillsbury released it. Sadly, I hadn't been able to find the product in my area, until this past week. It was the last one on the shelves of my local Shop Rite. 

The cookie dough comes in a 14.3 ounce container. Since I was feeling a bit under the weather, and dealing with chronic back pain (I have Degenerative Disc Disease in the L4 and L5 region of my lower back and early onset arthritis), my boyfriend baked the cookies for me. He preheated the oven to 350 degrees. He put the cookie dough onto a cookie sheet and put it into the oven. He baked them according to the package directions, and took them out of the oven. They were a bit under cooked. We both decided that the cookies should have been baked for a few minutes longer.

Aside from that, the cookies were AMAZING! I enjoyed them with a glass of milk, dipped them, and ate them. My boyfriend doesn't have Celiac disease, and he enjoyed them! You would have never guessed that these cookies were gluten free.

A few things to think about while trying these cookies for yourself: These cookies are NOT certified gluten free, so if you are extremely sensitive, try at your own risk. I am a sensitive Celiac, but, I had no reactions to these cookies. Also, make sure you allow your cookies a few extra minutes to bake. Instead of the package's recommendation of 11 minutes, cook them for about 13-15 minutes. Keep an eye on them at the 11 minute mark though. You don't want them to burn. Also, if you are allergic to soy, milk, and eggs, you should stay away from this product.
As for the price, it is between $4 and $5, depending on where you are in the United States.

If you are a cookie lover, I highly recommend this product. Pour yourself a glass of milk, or make yourself some hot chocolate, and dunk away! Thank you, Pillsbury, for making an amazing product for us Celiacs!

Celebrities who have Celiac Disease

 Getting diagnosed with Celiac Disease can be pretty tough (believe me, I remember how hard it was for me). You may be the first among your family and/or friends that has been diagnosed as Celiac. It can be lonely (even though my grandmother had it, and I was partially raised by her, she had been gone for a few years when I was diagnosed. I had no one). What gave me some comfort was that I was not alone. Some of the celebrities I look up to were also Celiac Disease sufferers. People like Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Emmy Rossum had been living with the disease for years before I was diagnosed. I researched both and learned a lot from them. Also, learning that my first celeb crush has 2 Celiacs in his family really helped me feel less alone. Here is a list of celebs who have diagnosed Celiac Disease: Elizabeth Hasselbeck (public figure) Emmy Rossum (actress) Wil Wheaton's mom and sister Meg Cabot (author) Sarah Joy Brown (actress) Joe C (rapper who frequently performed with

South Park's Gluten-Free Ebola Episode

photo credit: southparkdigital Greetings Celiac Warriors! Recently, South Park did a gluten free episode that got a lot of attention in the gluten free and Celiac communities. For the most part, the reaction has been positive. Many folks, including myself, found it hilarious. You may be wondering what the episode was about. I'm going to give you the cliff notes version: The episode starts off with the kids returning to school after their start up company fails. Then the show cuts to the teachers lounge where the teachers are discussing Mr. Mackey who has gone gluten free. Mr. Mackey comes back and starts blaming all the world's problems on gluten. A co-worker becomes annoyed by all the gluten free talk and starts screaming at Mr. Mackey to shut up. Mackey states that behavior problems are due to gluten consumption. A female teacher expresses interest in going gluten free. Later on, the boys are on the radio promoting an "epic" party. Callers ask the boys i

Celiac Women At a Decreased Risk for Hormone-Related Cancers.

When it comes to Celiac Disease, there really are not many benefits to the disease. However, research has shown that women, who have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are at a lower risk for hormone-related cancers, which include Endometrial, Breast, and Ovarian Cancers. Women with Celiac Disease are 15% less likely to develop Breast Cancer, 40% less likely to develop Endometrial Cancer, and 11% less like to develop Ovarian Cancer. Researchers believe that this is due to a decreased level of female hormones that promote reproductive Cancers.
