Just wanted to let all know that I came across these cookies at a Wegman's Grocery . I bought the Lemon & vanilla ones and they were a hit! Soft and light as air with a very good taste. I know they have several flavors , I tried this one so far. They are not a sandwich cookie but a round cookie .The grandkids loved them. I have to ration them as four of us could eat a bag pretty quickly.

I hear alot of you like the Nana's bars and I love the flavor but Ithink they are so dry and crumbly they could choke someone.I wanted to write to them and ask if they could make them a little moist!!!!

The fortitude is one of the softest I have tried to date.I know when I find them again I will buy more than one pkg. I was 1 1/2 hours from home when I happened upon these.

These may not be new but new to my area ....

Has anyone tried the crackers? I've looked at them several times, but I was so disappointed with the Ener-G crackers that I was hesitant to try them...

I LOVE the Lemon-Vanilla fortitude cookies! I go through a bag every couple of days...very addicting and pretty low in calorie too! I have had the Cinnamon/Orange and the Ginger Spice as well. THose are yummy but I am partial to the Lemon-Vanilla..

The crackers are very much like melba toast...they do not have much flavor but are good if you are looking for a melba toast-like cracker for dipping and or for putting stuff on...

My sister puts a little Pillsbury vanilla frosting on top! I have not tried that yet, but sounds very yummy (I am a sugar addict!)

I did buy a box of the plain casaba crackers and wasn't to impressed. In another section someone said they used them to make thin mint cookies. I couldn't remember what they reminded me of but melba toast is it. Thanks for reminding me as it's been so long I forgot.. They do have a few flavored ones but the store only carried the plain ones... For crackers I love the ranch nut thins. I haven't found to many crackers I love.....

I'm glad there are others who could eat the whole bag besides me, now I won't feel so bad when I do it.

PS If you are doing the thin mint cookies try the BiAglut with the scalloped edges.

      By nanny marley · Posted

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Celiac attack confusion and anxiety

      By Colleen H · Posted

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      Gluten free stuff

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.

      Gluten free stuff

      By trents · Posted

      Tammy, in the food industry, "gluten free" doesn't mean the same thing as "no gluten". As Scott explained, the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) allows food companies to use the "gluten-free" label as long as the product does not contain more than 20 ppm (parts per million) of gluten. This number is based on studies the FDA did years ago to determine the reaction threshold for those with celiac disease. And the 20 ppm figure works for the majority of celiacs. There are those who are more sensitive, however, who still react to that amount. There is another, stricter standard known as "Certified Gluten Free" which was developed by a third party organization known as GFCO which requires not more than 10 ppm of gluten. So, when you see "GFCO" or "Certified Gluten Free" labels on food items you know they are manufactured with a stricter standard concerning gluten content. Having said all that, even though you may read the disclaimer on a food item that says the spices may contain wheat, barley or rye (the gluten grains), you should be able to trust that the amount of gluten the spices may contain is so small it allows the total product to meet the requirements of gluten free or certified gluten free labeling. I hope this helps.
