daiya new york cheezecake - Gluten Free Trini
For my birthday a few days ago, I bought a lot of desserts so I here is a review of one of them, the daiya New York Cheezecake which I bought from Be Free Foods Organic Grocery.



Calories:

In the instructions, it was mentioned to slice the cheesecake into 4 – 6 equal pieces. If you create 4 pieces, 1 slice would have 360 calories and 17g of sugar. So I had cut the cheesecake into 8 pieces (180 calories each).



Size:

The size of the box is approximately 7in x 7in. When I took out the cheesecake, it had a diameter of 5in. Yes, I used a ruler to make sure I was seeing correctly. The slice was almost the same length as the prongs on the fork.




Cost:

It is expensive especially for the size of it compared to the average cheesecake. When I bought it, it had cost approximately TT$130.00. The instructions on the box also mention that it would be best to consume in 48 hours. My aim is to consume over a week and see how that goes.


Taste:

It tastes great. Just like the one with dairy (cream cheese). It doesn’t have a bad aftertaste and I wanted to eat more after my depressingly-small slice of cheesecake. The crust was a bit thin but it did taste like a graham crust.


Overall Review:

I would buy this again but for only a special occasion and I honestly do not want to share with anyone since it tastes so good and I want it to last longer. There are other flavours available such as Strawberry, Chocolate and Key Lime.

Foods rich in Thiamin (Vitamin B1)

Nutritional deficiencies can occur with people suffering from Celiac Disease due to poor absorption and also from a limited gluten-free diet. Wheat, barley and rye provide many important nutrients. Cutting out gluten can reduce some important vitamins and minerals in the diet. There are few gluten-free grain products enriched with the vitamins and minerals that gluten-containing grain products have. People would have to make substitutions in their diet to make up the nutrients. Here is a graphic that I created to show some foods rich in thiamin/vitamin B1. I used the information found from the World's Healthiest Foods website .

Yesterday, I attended the first official Gluten Free Baking Class at Moy’s Gluten Free Kitchen . It was a great experience. I received a lot of great tips and felt more motivated to bake. Each participant baked a loaf and did adaptations to the recipe. We made a non-vegan and a vegan version (without eggs). Both versions of the bread came out great. We also learnt how to bake cookies and muffins.

Coconut Drops are a common baked treat found in bakeries in Trinidad and Tobago. I miss them a lot so I decided to make some. I used the Long Time Coconut Drops recipe from The Multi-Cultural Cuisine of Trinidad & Tobago & The Caribbean cookbook from Naparima Girls’ High School. I substituted the flour with the Perfect Flour Blend from Namaste Foods . I bought this flour from Be Free Foods . The flour could also be ordered Amazon . The Coconut Drops came out great, the texture and taste was good. I kept the recipe simple. Next time, I will add raisins or sultanas with less sugar so it would not be too sweet.
