Today at work, I got a lot of gluten free dairy free snacks and desserts from my co-workers for my birthday. Yay ^_^! My birthday is actually on the 4 th of August so I had to get them today. I got Andean Dream Quinoa Chocolate Chip Cookies . They were okay and a bit dense. The chocolate chips tasted a bit like dark chocolate. What was cool to me about these cookies were that each one was individually wrapped. I’ll give these cookies 3 out of 5. After I tried out a cookie, I had some ice cream. The Rice Dream Organic Vanilla Ice Cream tasted okay, almost like normal ice cream. My favourite though was the Luna & Larry’s Organic Coconut BlissCappuccino Ice Cream . Everyone at the office got to try out the ice cream and they prefer the Cappuccino as well. It tastes and has the texture like normal ice-cream.  The cappuccino flavour is very strong. This one gets 5 out of 5. I also got chocolate sprinkles for the ice-cream. Sorry I don’t have a picture of the ice cream with...

Margarine caused an Allergic Reaction

On Sunday, I made some Coconut Drops and they came out great. The only new ingredient that I used was the Cookeen Margarine but I’ve been getting some allergic reactions after I ate a lot of them. I’ve reached to the point where my eyes get itchy and swollen 30 minutes after I eat them. My skin has been getting pretty bad as well. I bought the margarine because when I read the ingredients it looked safe enough.  Here is the ingredients list: Vegetable oils, Interesterified Vegetable Oils (Blend: 60% Palm Kernel / 40% Palm Oil), Water, Emulsifier (Vegetable), Potassium Sorbate, Citric Acid. I should’ve known better because Blue Band also makes products with dairy. It was a personal experiment so I’ve learned my lesson ^_^. Thank god it wasn’t enough to affect my throat or breathing. Someone commented on my Coconut drops recipe that the margarine is not dairy-free. After eating it for 3 days now I am feeling the ill effects lol. I am not a pro at baking so that was why I w...
