Italian Cookies

We recently had my counsins confirmation party and my aunt went to a bakery in Summit, NJ for the cake. She asked the baker if they serve anything that might be gluten free. The baker in turn asked if this was for a person with Celiac Disease. She said that their is a family of Celiacs in town that shop there. She said that pinyoly cookies (I am sure I did not spell that correctly, my Italian grandmother is probably shaking her finger at me :P ) are gluten free because they are made with almond paste and not flour. She also said they happen to make a flourless chocolate cake. I never thought to look in a bakery for gluten free food. Just thought I would pass this on.

True! Pignoli cookies are gluten-free by their very nature! Here's a recipe: Open Original Shared Link

I personally wouldn't eat them from the bakery though because cc is a guarantee with all that loose flour flying around...

Speaking of italian cookies...Does anyone know of a recipe for half moon/black & white cookies? I had a gluteny one from a "NY" deli here and it was gross. I miss my half moons from Syracuse :(

Anytime we go to Syracuse, we have to bring a dozen back for my older son! The ones from Syr. are unlike any we've had anywhere else. Harrison Bakery made the BEST halfmoons! ;)

Mmmmm....Harrison.....

You know, I could just eat my way from Westcott St. down to Armory Square. Start at Dorians and make my way down to Pastabilities...

Of course, all of that is full of gluten <_<

I don't have a recipe, but I enjoyed the black & white cookies from the gluten-free bread basket in Chester NY (www.gfbreadbasket.com). It was actually kind of funny, because my mom had gone shopping there for me. All I really wanted was some bagels (Mom was coming to watch me compete at a gymnastics meet for college, so it's not like I had access to a freezer to store the stuff in). But when my mom got there, she's lugging a mini-refrigerator (it can hold like 6 cans of soda). She'd gone to the bakery, got my bagels, saw peanut butter cookies (I'm not a cookie/dessert person, but my dad makes the best PB cookies, and that's something I cannot resist!), so she got them. Then she got some muffins. And then the woman that owns the bakery said that she couldn't possibly leave without a black and white cookie.... all college students love them. So into the bag went one of those! The black and white cookie was a good replacement for the ones I remember getting in the supermarket as a little kid, one of the best gluten-free cookies I've tasted.

Unfortunately, the cookie is not listed on their website, but I'm sure if you email/call them, they'd figure something out. I don't remember that being a specialty item! And I have to say, their PB cookies taste like the real deal.... it's a good thing my gymnastics coach doesn't care what we eat. I ate soooo many cookies that night ! haha. But come on, it was the first cookies I'd had in I don't know how long!

      Manitol and mri

      By RMJ · Posted

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      Manitol and mri

      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.
