I still remember the day that Sarah18 was diagnosed as gluten intolerant. A moment of total confusion passed through my mind. I love to cook and bake. I couldn't think of a handful of dishes that I regularly made that didn't contain gluten. There were no baked goods at all that didn't have gluten in them. I had no idea what I was going to feed her.

Being the *made from scratch* type of person that I am, I dutifully went to the book store and picked up several gluten free cookbooks. I slowly found meals that the family liked that were gluten free. However, I consistently failed at gluten free baking. Either they didn't rise and resembled inch tall bricks or they rose and tasted so bad that no one would eat them. After months of trying, I gave up.

It was at that time that I began to see Betty Crocker Gluten Free packaged mixes at the grocery store. I was thrilled but wary of what they would taste like. I first tried the chocolate chip cookies and then, thrilled with the taste, went on to sample the brownies. I couldn't believe how amazing they tasted. Not only did Sarah18 like them but the whole family liked them including my very picky husband!

Betty Crocker offers brownies, cake mixes, chocolate chip cookies and Bisquick that are all gluten free! No more worries about baked goods that my family will eat. The prices are very reasonably priced and much lower than most of the gluten free baked mixes I saw in the grocery store. We use them regularly now so that the family can have baked goods that Sarah18 can enjoy.
