Gluten Free Product Review Thursday
December 17th, 2009 |

The Virtual Cookie Exchange was a smashing success. I have recipes squirting out of my ears. 
Of course some of them will have to be re-worked to make them gluten free, so you will see them at a later date on this blog.
So I am off today to bake Christmas cookies with my daughter and granddaughter. My granddaughter is 2 1/2 and at the age where she loves to bake with Granny (that’s me) 
This is a picture of Eilidh, helping me with a recipe for a Gluten Free pumpkin roll that I was working on for my Holiday Cookbook, the day after Thanksgiving. (Just in case you’re wondering, Eilidh was born in Scotland. Her name is Scottish Gaelic and pronounced (Long A-Lee.) I love cooking and baking, and doing both with my granddaughters just makes it more fun. Today we are not making a gluten free cookie because these are for my daughters’ cookie exchange at work.
We tried a cookie from the cookie exchange. They were Russian Tea Balls, from Kathie at The Creation of Possum Manor. This was the first time I had ever made these kind of cookies. They turned out really well and according to my daughter tasted really good.
As I mentioned in my blog on Monday, I want to make my blog fun as well as informative, so starting in January Thursdays will be Product Review Thursday. Since I babbled away today about baking cookies with my girls, I will be reviewing a Gluten Free Hamburger Helper type product tomorrow.
Thanks for reading.

Glad you liked the Russian Tea Balls. My grandmother was from Germany, and she made them each Christmas. Have no idea why aren’t called German Tea Balls.
I bet these could be made gluten free rather easily.
Kathie,
My paternal grandmother was German also. Unfortunately, she died when I was a baby so I didn’t get to know her like my siblings.
I plan on trying a gluten free version of these cookies this week.
I’m loving your blog! Thanks for sharing so much of your personal experiences. It makes your blog so REAL! The recipe looks yummy whether needing to live gluten free of not. Thanks again.
