It can be tough to have food allergies. There’s so much the kids can’t eat and sometimes the list of ingredients required to bake tasty treats can be daunting. The first time I saw a gluten free baking recipe I wondered, “Where do I even find all these ingredients? What exactly is xanthan gum?” I have learned the answers to my questions, but I am a big fan of simple recipes that don’t require ingredients I have to hunt down. When my daughter was discussing how much she missed her favorite ice cream treats, I came up with what I like to call my “cheater’s recipe.” Don’t they look good? I can have three of these made and placed in the freezer in five minutes, tops.
To make the cookies, I used one package of Green Plate Foods Almond Butter Cookies. There are six in a package so it worked out perfectly. Next, I placed one large scoop of ice cream on top of a cookie and covered the ice cream with another Almond Butter cookie. I used vanilla because my husband is allergic to chocolate (worst allergy ever!), but you could use any flavor you like. Make sure the ice cream is soft enough to scoop but not beginning to melt when it is scooped onto the cookie. The ice cream sandwich can now be rolled in nuts, chocolate chips, sprinkles or your favorite topping. It’s also good plain. Wrap the sandwiches in wax paper and place in a freezer bag. Store them in the freezer for anytime you or someone you love needs a little guilty pleasure!
Green Plate foods has also just announced their new Gluten Free, Vegan and Raw Nubblers, a dried fruit snack made from five ingredients. They are available in three flavors- Cherry Chocolate, Apricot Cranberry and Blueberry Pistachio. They can be eaten as two bite snacks or used to make a tasty granola.

My daughter has a friend who must adhere to a gluten free diet. We love having her over, but I have to be very careful what we offer her to eat. I am going to check with her mom and see if the Nibblers and Cookies pass this test. If they do, I will make sure I have them in my cabinet for her.
The Super Brownie Mini Muffins look so yummy!
That ice cream sandwich looks good. I think that on hot summer days, I could mostly live on ice cream and iced tea.
