Hello Darlings!
I was never really in the loop when it came to gluten free
products until one of my best friends was diagnosed with celiac disease. He, in
typical college-male fashion was terrible at cooking anything aside from
burgers on the grill. So being the ever-so-nice best friend I am took it upon
myself to figure out ways that he could eat his favorite foods without the
gut-wrenching pain after the fact. I then discovered Udi’s – truly a life
saver! So when Udi’s reached out and told me about their new limited edition
fall line I was really excited to try their fall spiced products and share!
One of the hardest things to do after Udi’s Pumpkin Muffins and
Ginger Cookies arrived at my door was not devour the entire packages before I
had a chance to photograph them! The wait was well worth it.
I tried the Pumpkin Muffins first. Chock full of big pumpkin
flavor, cinnamon, nutmeg, and orange zest to add a bit of brightness, they were
spicy and rich, perfect for fall mornings with a cup of tea. Unlike many gluten
free products that are dense and heavy these muffins were light yet
substantial, without the gritty aftertaste that often accompanies the
‘gluten-free’ label. I brought a couple of these to my yoga teacher training
class (we yogis are notorious for having really specific eating habits) and I
came back with rave reviews from my gluten free girls!
I may have downed three Ginger Cookies in oh, three minutes,
after I opened their container and smelled them! They smell divine. I love that
the ginger in these cookies is strong but not overwhelming, and melds well with
the rest of the autumn spices. Also, these are perfectly soft and chewy, just
as advertised ( +1 for Udi’s!). I also toted these along to yoga training and
most definitely came back with an empty box. Everyone in the class loved them,
gluten-free girls and not! These cookies truly are fabulous and don’t taste
anything like the bland gluten free cookies that I’ve come to know. These are
such a delicious cookie, I might just have to stock up before the limited
edition cookies are no longer on the shelves!
Last but not least Udi’s sent along a little metal lunchbox
THAT I LOVE. I know it’s rather silly, but I was giggling like a kid in a candy
shop when I discovered the lunchbox along with the gluten free goodies! I think
that it really says a lot about a company, when they can add a bit of whimsy to
their outreach and have fun with their products! I’m not one that takes myself
too seriously, and love when companies can have fun as well!
Make sure that you check out Udi’s fall line at a grocery
store near you to snag some of the deliciousness, and say hello on their social
media- and tell them ChickadeeSays sent you!
