I recently came across a new vendor, Gluten Free Essentials. They have had a chocolate lovers sampler pack so how could I pass that up. A girl has to have her chocolate.

Lastnight it was a little chilly outside and I didn’t want to turn on the heat so I made cookies. These cookies the, Cocoa Mudslides, were excellent. They had a nice texture almost cake like with big chocolate chunks and big marshmallows. Just what this girl needed lastnight.

I can’t wait to try the other mixes that came in the order.

Our friend Natalie (Gluten Free Mommy) had on her site a recipe for “ Dark Chocolate Gelato“. Well I couldn’t pass that one up. It was heavenly. It was so smooth and rich. I was in heaven for those few moments that it lasted. Thank you Natalie for posting it.

We had a wonderful time in Lancaster the other day. I wish we were able to go away more often like that. Just the two of us. It makes our relationship so much stronger when we are able to get away from life and just enjoy being together. We did do the tour of Herrs and it was very interesting. But unfortunately it only lasted a day so here is a little something to make our lives a little sweeter.


Boston Cream Pie

Cake & Filling:
1 1/4 cups cold milk
1 box (3.4 oz) instant vanilla pudding
1 Tablespoon Gluten Free Vanilla

1 Gluten Free Pound Cake (I use ‘Cause You’re Special)

Combine mike and instant pudding and vanilla in large bowl. Beat for 2 minutes or until pudding thickens. Refrigerate for 15 minutes

Line 2-quart loaf pan with 2 layers of plastic wrap, allowing 2 inches of plastic wrap to hang over sides. Cut pound cake horizontally to make 3 equal layers. Place 1 cake layer in bottom of prepared pan, spread half of pudding evenly over cake.

Top with second layer; spread with remaining pudding. Top with third cake layer. Fold plastic overhang on top of cake to cover. Refrigerate cake for 1 hour before serving.

Chocolate Glaze
1/2 cup chocolate fudge topping
1/4 cup powered sugar- sifted

Stir chocolate fudge topping and powdered sugar in medium bowl until smooth. Fold back plastic from top of cake. Using plastic as aid, lift cake from pan; remove plastic. Cut cake crosswise into slices. Transfer cake slices to plates. Spoon glaze over cake and serve.

I adapted this recipe from a bisquick recipe. They turned out pretty good. I was craving biscuits (I think that is what I seem to crave the most) and came across this recipe on line. I don’t like strawberries actually… I really don’t like any fruit. Sometimes I feel this whole gluten free living would be easier if I liked fruit. But oh well what are you gonna do.
