Let's talk Cheerios!

Ever since I started eating gluten free I have been eating Honey Nut Cheerios because I knew they were gluten free.

I never really explores other flavors because for some reason I thought only the Honey Nut ones were gluten free. Well, I'm over that and I have been exploring other flavors.

First I got the Very Berry and I LOVE them. They are not overly flavored but they have just enough sweetness and berry to them that they seem like a treat.

Next I have tried the Fruity Cheerios. Honestly, I thought they were pretty gross. They tastes like fruit loops and I always hated fruit loops so these were gross. BUT, my kids loved them so they didn't go uneaten.

Last week while I was grocery shopping I discovered two new flavors so of course I snatched those up.

First, we have Pumpkin Spice. I'm not a HUGE fan of pumpkin spice stuff but I do like pumpkin bread and pie so I have it a try. I couldn't eat it dry. It was too pumpkin spice flavored for me but with milk it reduced the flavor enough that it was good.

Next we have Chocolate Peanut Butter Cheerios and these O have to say are my new favorite! They are sooo good! That's both with and without milk.

Anyone try any other flavors? I would love to know. ⬇

Update on Chēbē pizza

I said I would update today after I found out if the pizza was any good warmed up the next day. I had it for lunch today and I have to say it is still fantastic and the crust was a bit more crisp which made it really good! I do have to mention that I don't warm pizza up in the microwave because that is just gross. Pizza always tastes rubbery and gross whenever I warm it back up in a microwave so I just pop a piece of pizza on a sheet of foil and throw it in the oven until the cheese starts to get empty again. So I can't tell you if it's any good warned in the microwave but in the oven the pizza was just as good the next day as it was last night. I totally recommend this pizza crust mix of you enjoy homemade pizza.

My first gluten free pizza crust mix!

I love home made pizza I even have a little pizza oven that looks like a box of pizza. It cooks homemade pizza crust PERFECTLY!! Just look how cute the pizza oven is!

Since I have been gluten free I pretty much have stopped making it because I wouldn't be able to eat it. Well my husband specifically asked for my homemade pizza this week. I had seen at Aldi they had a gluten free pizza crust mix so I had originally planned to buy that while grocery shopping so I could make my own little personal pizza. Unfortunately, they were out when I went grocery shopping on Sunday. So I stopped during the week at Weis because they have a whole gluten free section at the end of their healthy food isle (which is basically normal junk like mac-n-cheese only it's all organic or it's vegan ect...). I figured they would have some gluten free pizza crust mix for me and they actually be 2. One was like $5.29 and the other was like $3.95 so I just grabbed the cheaper one and went home. Never looked at the box really until tonight. 

After making the pizza crust for my kids and husband I left it in a bowl to rise with a towel over the top. That was the first time I looked at the box. The directions called for you to mix the crust mix with 2 Tbsp of oil. Then mix a cup of sharp cheddar cheese and then 4 Tbsp of milk. I instantly was thinking, "oh no, what is this!" But I made it and even though the crust was not very dough like I tried to stay positive. I also had no sharp cheddar cheese but I had some left over Mexican blend that I hoped would work instead. I rolled it out on the pan, topped it, and popped it in the oven. 

The box said it was only made with 4 ingredients and none of them was rice or corn. I couldn't imagine it tasting very good but I have to say I was VERY pleasantly surprised. It was FANTASTIC pizza!!! It tastes a lot like you made garlic breadsticks and topped the with pizza sauce, cheese, and pepperoni. I will totally be getting that again. I stupidly forgot to poke the crust with a fork before putting It in the oven so it turned out to be a very thick crust and so I as only able to eat one piece. I saved the rest and we will see how well it does tomorrow when I reheat it for lunch.

Thanks Chēbē for making a fantastic gluten free pizza crust!!!
