Discoveries - Cereal and Ice Cream

I forgot to mention some new exciting food items in my last post!


This morning I had EnviroKidz Organic Gorilla Munch Cereal with almond milk. That cereal is so tasty! It has evaporated cane juice, but it hasn't made me sick. It also tastes like something i've had before...and that seems like a win to me. Especially in this gluten free hell....hey just kidding! 
...


For some reason this cereal doesn't have any games on the back, just lots of info about gorillas. They REALLY LOVE GORILLAS. 
I have a feeling this will become my alternative to popcorn. I miss my popcorn.
UPDATE: No wonder I was going to use this as my replacement for popcorn. Main ingredient: corn. Why have I stopped being able to read? 

My mom also bought me something similar to chicken noodle soup - it's Gluten Free Cafe from Valley Food Chicken Noodle Soup.

It tasted like your average can of soup, but the amazing plus side is that it's allergen free and is edible in about 3 minutes. YAY.

Also, my oldest sister got me some apple butter from Woody's Smokehouse. It's kind of like applesauce with cinnamon. It tastes pretty good on non-dairy ice cream too!


Which, by the way, we found non-dairy/gluten/sugar/soy/corn free ice cream!! Try out NadaMoo ice creams!!

I put some apple butter on my ice cream. I got the vanilla flavor. It has a very potent taste / aftertaste that I cannot pinpoint, but it might go good with some fruit also or maybe in a different flavor.

Easter Weekend - Blackberry Cobbler and Ice Cream

Like most college students, I went home to visit family this weekend, and was relieved from my struggle to find real meals thanks to my mom cooking dinner for everyone :) She gave me the recipes, which I will post in my recipe section later. 


I also was having huge cravings for blackberry cobbler and ice cream....don't ask why....BUT I WANTED IT. So my sister and I went to walmart and got the ingredients for recipes we found online and altered. I will also post them in the recipe section later. 


The ice cream and cobbler came out beautifully, and the ice cream tasted really milky, despite it not being made from real milk! 






It was absolutely delicious....but warning: 
I made the ice cream primarily with coconut milk and it KILLED my stomach. I don't know why...I've never had coconut products before this diet really, besides the random piece of cake with coconut or something on it per year....so maybe having like pure canned coconut is too much if you don't have a tolerance to it, or maybe it's just my terrible stomach. I don't know, and I don't have a control subject so....I'd try the ice cream (because it was amazing) but just don't each a bunch. I had the above plate twice and that was enough to send me over the edge...so beware. but eat it. because its amazing.

Till we meet again.
