Yes – the brownies in the above photo really are that huge!
I had the opportunity to try some absolutely delicious products recently, so incredibly satisfying that I had to run to get to my keyboard and share the news immediately.
Cooqi is a wonderful gluten-free company based out of St. Paul Minnesota. Right this moment I am still smiling with chocolate in my teeth from THE BEST brownies I have ever been sent. These are the real deal folks! I can not believe the texture and flavor of these delectable squares. They are not overly rich and most definitely not too sweet, may I be so bold to say these are truly “perfect”.
Some of Cooqi’s other products include: granola, muffins, donuts, biscotti and specialty gift baskets. If you’re in the St. Paul, MN area, you can stop in for a visit to their bakery, pick up some goodies to take home and of course you can order products online.
You may be wondering about their granola. I did inquire about the source of their oats to discover their oats are delivered shipped in from another company. As always, if you are hesitant about oats, you need to do what you feel is right for your body. Not all celiac or gluten sensitive people have adverse reactions to oats and it is wise to start out a little at a time. For those who can tolerate oats, you will love the wholesomeness of their granola. You may call Cooqi and inquire about the source of their oats for further details.
In addition to the delicious contributions they’re making to our gluten-free community and taste buds, Cooqii’s website has helpful information on the topic of gluten-free, resources as well as informative information. I recommend spending some time on your computer and learning more about Cooqi and what they offer.
Be sure and get those brownies!
Happy Gluten-Free Eating!

Following is a terrific testimonial from a man that had participated in my Gluten-Free Taste Testing Party on January 17th.
“After the meeting at your house for the products taste party I decided to get very strict on a gluten free program.
“After two days I had zero gut pain and a brain fog is clearing. I have had gut pain for years and I have reduced the gluten but had not stayed really strict with it.
“Feel so much better. Thanks so much again.”

At my Gluten-Free taste-testing party on Sunday the 17th, we tested 42 Gluten-Free products in the course of 2-1/2 hours. I had everyone take diligent notes on their feedback for each and every item I presented. The results have already been put together in my various reviews which my team in LA and FL worked hard on.
I want to thank Janet, Head of the Tampa Area Celiacs; and Brian Kelly, current Chairman of the Pinellas County Celiac Support Group and Vice-Chairman Susan Wilson for attending and lending their support and time. A special thanks goes to all those who attended: children, doctors, nutritionists and friends. You are all wonderful and I know you all left with a belly full of delicious food.
From this point forward I will be sharing with you the written and video results. Please check the Review sections located on the lower right hand side of my Gluten-Free home page starting on January 28th. Every week I will be releasing more!
