My dear friend and our enthusiastic committee member Jill Brack has lauched an amazing delicious line of gluten free cookies. I am totally in awe of her and her business. If you want to try a cookie to die for, this is it!!!  You can read what she says on her website:  http://www.glowglutenfree.com/

Glow Gluten Free is the newest–and dare I say tastiest–bakery in the gluten free aisle.

Why are we here you ask? Well, out of necessity really.

When my daughter Stella and I were diagnosed with celiac disease we missed our favorite treats–Mrs. Fields, Tollhouse, Sprinkles? Oh, if only… so we tried every gluten-free cookie out there. Have you ever eaten cardboard? They were TERRIBLE! And most were high in calories and fat and had little to no nutritional value. I mean, how hard is it to make a gluten free cookie taste good? So we decided to try it ourselves.

Long story short, it turns out to be a lot harder than you think. I won’t bore you with how many cookies we threw out–let’s just say all that cookie carnage was worth it. Our recipe? That’s a secret. In fact, we’re so confident you’ll love our gluten free cookies, we’re already planning an early retirement. Seriously, they’re that good.

Why the name Glow? Well Crumbs was taken and Crumby sounds like–well you get the picture. So one day Stella was so happy to finally have a treat she could actually enjoy… she was literally glowing from head to toe. So there you have it. Try our delicious cookies. Whether you dig gluten or not, I bet you will GLOW from head to toe, too. Oh, and Mrs. Fields, eat your heart out!
