Pamela’s Products NO COOK & SIMPLE COOKIES . These are delicious and fast and fun to make. Even kids enjoy these as they can get a “result” quickly and munch away. I made these for a wonderful cookie exchange in Tampa at the Celiac Group’s meeting. These were all eaten up and the plate was empty.

My Orange-Iced Lemon-Shortbread Delights. Another extremely delicious and easy adaptation of Pamela’s already make cookies and whipping up a frosting that is sweet, easy fun and absolutely scrumptious

You will need:

Two Boxes of Pamela’s Lemon Shortbread Cookies (Frozen)

½ bag of Pamela’s Vanilla Frosting

1 large orange

Water

4TBL Butter

Directions:

Add  room temp. butter and water to half the bag of frosting

Mix well so no lumps.

Finely grate the orange rind to make orange zest (about 1-1/2-2 tsp. full)

Add to frosting and mix well and let sit about 15 minutes to “marinade”

Frost your cookies and set out for everyone to eat. (You may decorate them at this point too)

NOTE:  I prefer to lightly frost my cookies as the flavor of both the lemon and orange come though this way. They are delicious!

You may store in refrig. or freezer covered.

The company Nu Skin has a gluten-free supplement line, Pharmanex, offering confirmed gluten-free dietary supplements in small packs—LifePak Nano—to address issues such as DNA protection, immune support, antioxidant defense, metabolism, and much more.

The supplements are also quality-guaranteed by the company, which says they can be an enhancement to an anti-aging program. Vitox is another GF supplement in individual capsules . This GF product supports important antioxidants, vitamins, minerals and essential nutrients. Nu Skin’s line of makeup is gluten-free and says soon many of their products will be, too.

Diane Poplawski had years of trouble with her own skin and even after being diagnosed celiac, the skin rashes didn’t clear up until she found Nu Skin’s lotions, cleansers, and makeup. She told me her two children, one celiac and the other having severe allergies, benefit from the lotions as well. Her kids are so sensitive that if they even kiss someone with gluten, they get a severe reaction. She can wear makeup and she has no worries now.

Her whole life turned around by being on a gluten-free diet after taking her two-year-old daughter repeatedly to the doctor for her constant vomiting, bloody stools, constipation, and diarrhea. It wasn’t until a remote nutritionist suggested “celiac,” a new word to Diane’s vocabulary, that she began to look into a gluten intolerance.

Her doctor willingly tested her little girl, and with no familiarity to gliadin, shrugged off the test results. It wasn’t until the nutritionist later read the results properly that Diane’s daughter was diagnosed as celiac. The nutritionist determined the new gluten-free diet for her little girl, and it saved her life. Diane’s second child has severe allergies and the family is 100% off of gluten and using Nu Skin products for skin and Pharmanex for supplements with no reaction.

The make-up applies beautifully, as you can see from some of the images from one of my employees, Mara Rouse. Mara is a makeup artist and special-effects-artist for television and movies in L.A – worked with Star Trek special effects team, Oscar winner for Best Makeup 2010! She now carries NuSkin’s make-up in her bags.

Call Diane with any questions at (631) 888-2296 or e-mail her at dianeanddanp@yahoo.com or visit www.dandeepop.com .  Pharmanex LifePak Nano  Gluten-Free vitamins. Anyone who would prefer a discount they can email Diane direct. The website will not offer auto discounts nor will it offer free shipping, so as a secondary promotion she will discount any Nuskin or Pharmanex product item on the www.theglutenfreechoice.nsedreams.com if they email her with products of interest. the gluten free products list is on that site as well on the home page, and all her phone numbers and email are there as well.

This company and Diane’s generous offers are given a thumbs up by me.

As many of you know, the topic of children is a dear interest of mine, and therefore I hope you can join me on the following show…

Parents: Have you had one of those days (weeks, months) where the kids are driving you batty? Do you reflect on your day feeling as if you’ve done nothing but lecture, yell, or simply given up, pulling your hair out in the process? Whether it’s redirecting behaviors, special challenges, parenting pep talks, parent coaching or even how the adults treat each other, each action lends itself to the overall peace of the home.

Tune in to Pregnancy.org Live: Before, During & After  on Thursday, November 12th at 2:00 PM Eastern, where host Mollee Bauer and I will discuss ways to gain confidence and find more positive paths through those all-too-common parenting challenges.

The end result? A far more happier home and finally a way to meet those goals for your family.
