Why I Love Betty Crocker


 I have always loved Betty Crocker. I remember looking for recipes in my grandmother's Betty Crocker cookbook, and baking with her. The recipes were easy, and delicious. When I was diagnosed with Celiac disease, I did not think I would ever be able to have delicious baked goodies again.

It was not until last year, when I found out that Betty Crocker had a line of baking mixes, that were gluten free. My boyfriend and I picked up a box of the Bisquick pancake mix, and we made pancakes the next day. We made the pancakes, and sat down to eat. We were both surprised by how delicious it was. My boyfriend told me that the Bisquick gluten free pancake mix was better than regular pancake mix. Having pancakes or waffles has become our Sunday morning tradition. We both love this pancake mix

We have also tried the Betty Crocker chocolate chip cookie mix. The cookies are delicious and simple to make.

Even with having Celiac disease, I don't have to miss out on delicious baked goods, especially when I use Betty Crocker baking mixes. It has made it easier, for those of us with Celiac disease, to blend in. Non-Celiacs even enjoy the gluten free baking mixes. They say that they hardly miss the gluten, and that they cannot even tell that it is gluten free.

I have just read an article that Betty Crocker is coming out with new mixes. There will now be a sugar cookie mix, and a rice flour blend mix, coming to a store near you! I love Betty Crocker!
