Everyone in my family enjoys snacking on chips. Therefore, they were very excited to try out the chips made by The Good Crisp Company. These “canister” chips are gluten-free and contain all-natural ingredients. For those with allergy concerns, The Good Crisp chips are made in a facility free of egg, wheat & gluten, peanuts, tree nuts, fish & shellfish, sesame seeds, mustard and celery.

The Good Crisp Company chips come in the following flavors:

• Classic Original
• Sour Cream & Onion
• Aged White Cheddar
• Outback BBQ
• Sea Salt & Vinegar

These chips are so light, thin and crispy! They taste just as good (if not better) than the other conventional brands you would find at the supermarket.

The Good Crisp is also offering a limited edition Hummus Pack. This pack includes 4 canisters of The Good Crisp Classic Original Chips, 4 servings of Lilly’s Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, a frisbee and drawstring backpack. I had never thought of eating these types of chips with hummus, but I must say it is a delicious combination!

One thing I like about chips in a canister is that they transport well. They are convenient to pack when we go somewhere since there are no worries about ending up with a bag full of crushed chips.

The Good Crisp Sea Salt & Vinegar flavor is downright addictive!

Where to Purchase The Good Crisp

The Good Crisp chips are available for purchase at a store near you or through their online store.

Hungry Harry’s produces baking mixes that are free from the 14 food groups that account for over 90% of food allergies. The founders’ son was born with a tree nut allergy, and is sensitive to dairy, gluten, egg and soy. They wanted to create food products that he could eat safely, as well as enjoy! As I have mentioned many times before, both of my kids are allergic to tree nuts and peanuts. Therefore, it is always exciting to discover new food products that are made with allergies as a top concern.

Hungry Harry’s currently offers five types of baking mixes:

• Muffin Mix
• Yellow Cake Mix
• All Purpose Flour Blend
• Pancake & Waffle Mix
• Chocolate Cake Mix

I decided to use Hungry Harry’s Yellow Cake Mix to bake some cupcakes. As you can see, the texture of these cupcakes was nice and fluffy. I would challenge anyone to guess that these cupcakes are gluten-free. There are suggestions in the directions about how to make these cupcakes also egg and dairy-free, but I just used eggs and milk since these ingredients are not a concern for our family. All of the Hungry Harry’s mixes can be adapted using the ingredients that are safe for you and those you are baking for.

Where To Purchase Hungry Harry’s Baking Mixes

Hungry Harry’s mixes can be purchased at a store near you, or through their online store.

The first ingredient in these cookies is gluten-free whole oat flour. In addition to being allergen-free, they are vegan, kosher pareve, and low sodium. Even though these cookies are made with many specific dietary needs in mind, I would say that anyone who likes cookies will still enjoy them!

I first learned about Mom’s Place Gluten-Free products through the Online Nourished Festival. Their website offers quite an extensive array of gluten-free products. They have everything from bread and dessert mixes to soups and pastas.

Now that fall is upon us, I find myself craving soups more. Therefore, it was perfect timing for me to receive samples of Mom’s Place Gluten-Free Chicken Gnocchi Soup Mix, Gnocchi, Chicken Tortilla Soup Mix and Broccoli Cheese Soup Mix.

Mom’s Place Gluten-Free Chicken Tortilla Soup

For the Mom’s Place Chicken Tortilla Soup Mix, I added some leftover rotisserie chicken, a can of diced tomatoes, black beans, and frozen corn. We topped the soup with some crushed tortilla chips and a dollop of guacamole. The mix contained rice and all of the seasonings to make a savory (but not too salty) broth. This soup mix makes enough to feed a small army (12 servings!). This was not a problem in our house since we all enjoyed this soup and did not mind eating it for leftovers.

Mom’s Place Gluten-Free Chicken Gnocchi Soup

I have only made gnocchi at home a couple of times, so I was eager to try out Mom’s Place Gluten Free Chicken Gnocchi Soup Mix.

This soup mix comes with two packets, one for the broth and one for the roux. I added butter and milk for the roux, and chicken and fresh spinach at the end. The gnocchi came in a separate box. The soup came together in no time at all, and the results were truly delicious!

These gnocchi had a nice bite and made this soup so comforting. I think I need to make gnocchi more often now!

Where to Purchase Mom’s Place Gluten-Free Products

Don’t Go Nuts has been one of my nut-allergic kids’ favorite nut-free brands for a few years now. I recently received samples of their Variety Packs of Mini Chewy Granola Bars, as they were an exhibitor at the Online Nourished Festival.

Each of the Don’t Go Nuts variety packs includes two different flavors:

• Chocolate Chip and White Chocolate Chip
• Apple Cinnamon and Strawberry

Each box comes with eight mini granola bars (four of each flavor).

First off, these Mini Chewy Granola Bars are so cute! They are the perfect size for a little snack, or to add to a lunchbox. All of the flavors are tasty; my kids really like the White Chocolate Chip flavor. It is also reassuring not having to worry about potential allergens, which tends to be a problem with most granola bars. Don’t Go Nuts built their own nut-free facility, so there is cross-contamination concerns. They also use organic and gluten-free ingredients. Even if you and your family does not have nut allergies, I am sure you would still enjoy these granola bars!

These Don’t Go Nuts Mini Chewy Granola Bars would also be a great allergen-friendly treat to hand out for Halloween, if that is something you are doing this year.

Where To Purchase Don’t Go Nuts

Don’t Go Nuts products can be purchased through their online store or at a store near you. In addition to granola bars, Don’t Go Nuts also has a line of nut-free spreads that look interesting.

As you may recall, I did a review of Pocket Latte not too long ago. These edible coffee squares are the perfect all-natural caffeinated pick-me-up. Each Pocket Latte contains the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee. Pocket Latte comes in four different flavors: Dark Roast, Cream + Sugar, Hazelnut and Lavender Vanilla.

The principal at the school where I work gave the staff a “You’ve Been Booed!” bag of treats, which was such a thoughtful gesture. This made me think about how Pocket Latte would make a great little gift for Halloween. Also, it’s also not too early to start thinking about Christmas stocking stuffers (hint, hint!).

Here is another Halloween-themed packaging idea–BOO!

Where to Purchase Pocket Latte

Pocket Latte can be purchased through their website or at a store near you.

I have really been enjoying experimenting with the gluten-free samples I received as an Online Nourished Festival blogger. Gluten-free brands seem to be on the rise and it is exciting that they are becoming more available in the mainstream marketplace.

Josie’s Best Gluten-Free Mixes come in four varieties:

• The Crepe
• The Muffin & More (all-purpose baking mix)
• The Pancake
• The Waffle

These mixes are non-GMO and manufactured in a dedicated facility that is free from: wheat, gluten (wheat, barley, rye), milk, eggs, tree nuts, peanuts, fish, crustacean shellfish, soy and soybeans, sesame and coconut.

I decided to try out the waffle and the crepe mixes first.

The Josie’s Best Waffle Mix’s main ingredient is brown rice flour. To make the waffles, all you do is add eggs, oil and milk to the waffle mix. When I had my family try the waffles, they could not tell they were gluten-free. The waffles turned out nice and crisp on the outside with a tender inside.

The Josie’s Best Crepe Mix’s main ingredient is sorghum flour. To make the crepes, you just add eggs, water, milk and vanilla–so simple! Crepes are one of those things that I do not make very often, so they feel like a treat. A savory crepe filled with ham, cheese and spinach would also be delicious using this mix.

Where To Purchase Josie’s Best Gluten-Free Mixes

Josie’s Best Gluten-Free Mixes are available at a store near you, or through their website.

Ka-Pop Snacks sent me samples of their Ka-Pop Puffs as an Online Nourished Festival blogger, and they are one of my favorite new snack finds of 2020.

These delicious puffs are made from sorghum, which is an ancient grain. I did not know much about sorghum, but according to the Ka-Pop website, it is one of the few grains with an edible husk. This helps sorghum retain nutrients that are removed in other grains, such as essential vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber and antioxidants. Sorghum is also the 5th most harvested grain in the United States. Who knew?

We received samples of the Cheddar and Cinnamon Churro Ka-Pop Puffs. Ka-Pop also makes Popped Chips and all their snacks are allergen-friendly, gluten-free, paleo, non-GMO and vegan.

The Ka-Pop Cheddar Puffs remind me of some other not-so-healthy cheese puff snacks that my kids like to eat on occasion. These puffs are a more nutritious alternative. They are packed with cheesy flavor and have a light and crispy texture. My family all really enjoyed these puffs, and my kids will be packing them in their school lunches.

The Cinnamon Churro Ka-Pops are also very tasty. Look at how much these pops look like the picture on the package! I was surprised to see that they contain only 3 grams of sugar per serving. I will definitely be looking for these at my local Sprouts.

Where to Purchase Ka-Pop Snacks

Ka-Pop Snacks can be purchased at a store near you, their online store, or Amazon.

Since hearing about the health benefits of flaxseed, I have been trying to incorporate it more into my family’s diet. We add it to cereal, oatmeal and yogurt. I have also been adding flax to my favorite oatmeal chocolate chip cookie recipe. Therefore, I was super excited to receive an assortment of muffins and brownies from Flax4Life as a blogger for the Online Nourished Festival.

Flax4Life Muffins

I am a big fan of eating a muffin for breakfast, but oftentimes the ingredients mean you are basically eating a cupcake. This is not the case with Flax4Life muffins. These muffins contain loads of Omega-3’s, fiber and protein. They are nice and moist and have just the right amount of sweetness. The flavor options include:

• Apple Cinnamon
• Blueberry
• Carrot Raisin
• Chocolate Chip
• Cranberry Orange
• Hawaiian Pineapple

Flax4Life Brownies

If you are looking for something a little sweeter, Flax4Life also makes brownies. Each individual pack comes with two mini brownies, perfect for sharing. (They also come in packages of nine). These brownies also contain flaxseed, which means they offer Omega-3’s, fiber and protein. They are a treat you do not have to feel guilty about! Flax4Life brownies come in the following flavors:

• Cappuccino
• Chocolate
• Dark Cherry
• Mint Chocolate

Even though my family does not follow a gluten-free diet, I am all for increasing our intake of flaxseed. I also appreciate that their products are nut-free, since my kids are allergic to nuts. I have to say that Flax4Life is one of my favorite finds from the Online Nourished Festival!

Where to Purchase Flax4Life

Flax4Life products can be purchased at a store near you or through their online store. I was happy to see that they are available at my local Sprouts store in Southern California.
