ABOUT DYSON

Many vacuums use filters to trap dirt, which can cause clogs and suction problems. But Dyson, maker of the world's first cyclonic bagless vacuum, features technology that uses centrifugal force to separate dirt out of the airflow, so the vacuum doesn't clog. Dyson proves no loss of suction using the IEC 60312 Cl 2.9 test standard. As the only vacuum to be certified by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America and featuring Clean Exhaust Air, it's easy to see why Dyson is an excellent choice for all your floor surfaces.

Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil Review and Giveaway!

Since putting my son on a gluten and casein free diet in April '11, I've had to rethink cooking and baking, and educate myself on ingredients I was once unable to pronounce! lol  As difficult as it is to have a child on a restrictive diet, we're actually having a lot of fun sampling new recipes together... all of which call for ingredients we were once unfamiliar with. 

I'm so enjoying experimenting with the wide variety of gluten-free flours, oils, starches, and milks currently in my pantry and fridge purchased to keep our autistic son thriving both physically and mentally. We don't deprive him of anything... not even the goodies like cookies!

I made the above batch of coconut oil and coconut flour chocolate chip cookies this afternoon (click image for recipe) and both my kids loved them! Some of the benefits of coconut flour (over rice for example) is that coconut flour is non-gritty. We've learned over time (actually it was pretty immediate) that we're not big fans of rice flour in deserts. If you've eaten gluten-free cookies, you may know what I'm referring to. This coconut flour is dense and rich with no grit to be found! It's what you'd call gluten-free perfection! Even if you're not worried about gluten, but love coconut, this recipe is sure to please. My daughter isn't on a special diet and loved these cookies, and the brownies I made last month with Tropical Traditions Organic Coconut Flour every bit as much as my son.

Gluten Free Coconut Oil Chocolate Chip Cookies... and an Upcoming Giveaway!

I don't know how many followers cook/bake for someone on a gluten-free diet, but wanted to give you all a head's up to my next giveaway, which will launch at 12:01 AM, August 1st. That means it starts tonight just after midnight!  

Tropical Traditions has generously offered to give one random entrant a free 1 quart jar of their Virgin Coconut Oil. I currently have 2 jars in my pantry! On Sunday we baked up our very first batch of coconut oil chocolate chip cookies (click for recipe), which just so happen to be gluten-free, soy-free, casein-free, and corn free (with our modifications... left out the vanilla extract and adding vanilla
