Fun favorites

If you're looking for some donuts that taste as good as the real thing, try KinnickKinnick maple glazed donuts. They're amazing. They're in the freezer section.

If you're craving Oreos, try Kini-Toos. They come in chocolate or vanilla. The chocolate ones are definitely better, but they're both very edible. They're dairy free, egg free, etc. in addition to gluten free.

I posted before about Betty Crocker gluten free cake mix. I've discovered a better way to make it. Try adding 1/2 cup applesauce, and 2 egg whites to the dry mix in place of the 3 eggs that the back of the box calls for. Add the other ingredients as listed (I think it's 1/2 cup butter & 1 cup water). According to my not gluten free husband, this melts in your mouth. I tried this because I'm allergic to egg yolks, but really it's just better this way. I tried using EnerG egg replacer in place of the eggs and it was super dry - stick with applesauce! :)
Here's another way to use the Betty Crocker gluten free chocolate cake mix - use 1 package cake mix & mix with 2 eggs and 1 can of cherry pie filling. Bake in a 9x13 pan at 350 until a toothpick in the middle comes out clean (approx 25-30 min). I tried this with 1/2 cup applesauce instead of the eggs and the middle was very gooey (the edges were amazing) so you might have to increase the cooking time to make sure the middle is done. My toothpick came out clean, but it was still gooey so I'll have to experiment more with this.
