Lucy's Cookies and Food Should Taste Good Chips

Well, Lucy's Cookies are strangely addictive even though they do kind of have a bit of an aftertaste. One of the reviewers on Amazon wrote, "Something is awry with these cookies." But I'm just happy to be able to eat any cookie without eggs and nuts. There are also these wafer things that I have been eating, which aren't bad.

I found that the one store that is listed as having Lucy's Cookies does not have them. Another health food store in the area did have them but only had one kind. So far, I think the cinnamon thins might be my favorite. All of the cookies are actually thin and hard, perhaps because they are made without eggs and very sweet.

Our dog, Maggie, seemed to like Lucy's Cookies. Our dog, Harley, however wasn't jumping off the couch for them as she would a steak. Our cat, Rocky, ate them at first but then abandoned them to Maggie. He didn't seem to like them as much as he likes kettle corn.

One good discovery is that Amazon has just begun selling Lucy's Cookies. It appears that they have four kinds--chocolate chip, sugar, cinnamon and oatmeal. I have tried all but the oatmeal.

Jamie also found some glutin-free chips, made by Food Should Taste Good. He bought the multi-grain kind and the sweet potato kind. According to the Food Should Taste Good website, the chips come in several varieties including multi-grain, jalapeno, sweet potato, buffalo, chocolate, olive, the works!, lime, potato and chive, cinnamon, yellow corn, blue corn and cheddar. Maggie and Jamie really seemed to like the chips. I preferred the multi-grain to the sweet potato and ordered more on Amazon. I am pleased to see that Amazon carries these also.

In other news, Ben has getting recurring diaper rash around his backside just at the edge of the top of the diaper. Someone I know told me that many babies have latex allergies. He's only had this problem since he's been in stage 3 Pampers. He did not have this problem in stages 1 or 2. We are thinking of trying Earth's Best Diapers. Also, I have started applying Balmex since Desitin didn't seem to clear it up.

However, one good thing is that we may have found a shampoo that we can use on him. We tried Method Baby last night, and it didn't cause him to scratch very much or get cradle cap, but we do still need to apply olive oil to keep his scalp from getting too dry.

Sweet Attack--Dr. Lucy's Cookies

It was like torture being able to smell those brownies yesterday but not being able to eat them. There's a health food store about 12 miles from here that sells Dr. Lucy's cookies, which are egg-free, nut free and gluten free. But, yesterday was Sunday, and it didn't seem to be open because I called and called, and no one answered.

I was so not happy because most of my other gluten-free snacks had run out as well, and I just wanted sweets. I had been up the night before with Ben and didn't feel like baking again. Jamie had me call of the closest Starbucks (about 12-15 miles away), and they said they had some Dr. Lucy's cookies. Jamie drove out there around dinner time while the roast finished cooking in the oven. But, when he got there, they only had one kind, so he drove to a second Starbucks to get more. So far, I've only tried the chocolate chip, and they really aren't bad. I think you can tell that they are egg-free, wheat free but they are far better than the horrible rice bread that I have been eating at lunch. Or the awful rice waffles I recently tried. Those products make me want to never eat rice again.

I am glad that products for people with allergies are becoming more mainstream. I am going to try a second variety of cookies soon and will report back.
