Katz Gluten-free Giveaway and Review

Katz Gluten Free, known for their scrumptious certified gluten-free breads and baked goods, came out with 2 new yummy treats in December!  They added a vanilla flavor to their unique Rugelach.  They also introduced Frosted Chocolate Cupcakes.  They were generous to sponsor a gluten-free giveaway in exchange for my review of their products.  My Katz Gluten Free products arrived with a sticker stating to freeze upon receipt.  That is exactly what I did!  That was at about 3pm.

At about 7:30 I realized I hadn’t eaten dinner yet and was frantically looking for something fast to make.  I thought, “Ground beef defrosts fasts, and oh yah! – I have gluten-free hamburger buns in the freezer!  I took a bun out to defrost on the counter while I whipped up my favorite gluten-free burger recipe.  I did not even have enough time and energy to make the balsamic reduction.  I just whisked the balsamic, chipotle sauce and brown sugar together and combined with the red onion.  No need for ground oats this time, as I had a nice filling hamburger bun awaiting!  Perfect timing – it was defrosted by the time my hamburger was done!

Being allergic to tomatoes, I cannot have ketchup.  I used a mixture of mayonnaise, white vinegar, smoked paprika and a pinch of stevia to create a dressing similar to the one of McD’s Big Mac.  All I added to the burger was some swiss cheese (didn’t really need it) and some lettuce from a bag of salad.

Oh my!  It was so delicious!  From the texture of the bun before warmed, I did not expect it to be so soft!  All I did was zap it in the microwave for about 20 seconds on reheat.  You get a pack of 4 for just $4.99 and it tasted like a gluten-free hamburger bun versus a mock bread.  Just wonderful and it has fiber, too!

Vanilla Rugelech-Gluten Free

I love vanilla and it really makes their rugelech!  My husband is the rugelech fan in our household and enjoyed it very much!

Gluten-free Chocolate Frosted Cupcakes with Colored Sprinkles

How can one go wrong with a chocolate cup?  Gluten-free style is easy to mess up, but Katz has come through for us with a moist, wonderful texture!  From one chocolate lover to the next, loved it!

Gluten-free Raspberry Hamantaschen

As soon as I saw them I knew I would enjoy these.  Raspberry filled cookies remind me of my childhood.  I love any type of jam filled cookies.  I could see just by looking at them that the texture was going to be right up my alley.  They are almost like a shortbread cookie, but a triangular shape.  Tasty!
