Our House: Deliciously Gluten-Free Mixes



*This is a sponsored post meaning I received compensation and the product free. Even though I received compensation, it does not effect my opinion of the product. Post may also contain affiliate links. 


Our House has launched a new line of gluten free mixes. There are 7 in all: All purpose flour, all purpose baking mix, chocolate brownie mix, cookie mix, cornbread mix, bread mix, and pancake & waffle mix. These mixes are sold in stores or online at Our House website. The stores these mixes are sold in are Food Lion, Harris Teeter, Lowes Foods, and Ingles.  If you would like to see where they are being sold near you, you can go to there product locator by clicking HERE. Not only are these mixes gluten free, but are vegan, kosher, and non GMO too.


I was sent the cookie mix and cornbread mix to try. Check out the recipes I used on down.  I have to say I was surprised. I couldn't tell a difference really in taste or texture compared to non gluten free and neither could my husband or daughter. To be honest I was expecting them to taste different or be gross since I've not ate gluten-free bread products before these. The mixes were really easy to use like most mixes are. I love the packaging. The boxes have an easy tear top. Each box comes with 2 different recipes that you can cut out and are easy to make. The boxes also include a kitchen tip and a Gluten-Free label that you can cut out.




The cornbread mix makes a sweet cornbread. One box of mix made 24 mini and 8 full size muffins. I used the recipe on the back of the box.

Ingredients:
  • 1 box Our House Gluten-Free Cornbread Mix
  • 1 ½ cups of milk (or milk alternative)
  • 2/3 cup of oil
  • 3 large eggs (or egg replacer or 1 cup of applesauce)

    Directions:
    1. Preheat oven to 400F.
    2. Grease a 9” square baking pan, muffin pan, or mini muffin pan. Be sure to grease pan good or they might stick. 




    1. 3. Add milk, oil, and eggs to cornbread mix; mix until smooth.
    1. 4. Pour batter into pan and bake 30-45 min, until done and golden brown for 9" square.  About 20 minutes for regular size muffins. About 10 minutes for mini muffins.
    Will make 16 squares in 9" pan, 24 regular muffins, or 48 mini muffins.
    **OPTIONAL: Add in 1 can of jalapeƱos and 1 can of whole kernel corn, drained, for a southwestern spin.

Gluten Free Peanut Butter Cookies

INGREDIENTS:

  • 1 box Our House Gluten-Free Cookie Mix
  • ½ cup butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup peanut butter

    DIRECTIONS:

    1. Preheat oven to 350F.
    2. Mix together dry mix, butter, eggs and peanut butter in mixing bowl until well blended.



    1. 2. Drop rounded tablespoons of dough 2 inches apart onto lightly greased baking sheet.
    1. 3. Flatten each with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
    2. 4. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
    Will make approximately 20 cookies.

VICTORSTAR LED MUSIC BULB REVIEW

I have to say I'm very impressed with this music bulb by VICTORSTAR. This is the first one I have had so I really didnt know what to expect. This fits standard light sockets. This light bulb makes for a great regular bulb. It is bright and dimmable. It comes with a remote that is easy to use with a battery already in it so no need to buy one. The remote has 24 different functions. The light can be turned on and off with the remote. The light can be changed to different colors ranging from red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink. It also has flash, fade, smooth, and strobe functions. The light does not get very hot either which is always a plus. The speaker is Bluetooth and easy to connect. It is listed as Speak Light L2. It is loud and a great speaker. It has a great range and even through walls. I honestly walked all through my house with it in the back room and it never cut out. The speaker can work without the light on too. Overall this is a great fun light bulb that I highly recommend.

Eco friendly Silicone Mat REVIEW

                               Eco friendly Silicone Mat REVIEW







These silicone mat cutting boards are AWESOME! If your like me you are using a cutting board daily and most of the time is for small jobs and you don't want to drag the big one out. This is were these come in. They are thin, light weight, and great for small jobs. They come in a pack of 4 and each one is a different color and have a different food label. The labels are really handy because you can keep up what you use them for with them. Plus it keeps my husband from using my veggie or fruit board for meats.



They are very thin so easy to store and even have a cutout so they can be hung up. They have a cutting guide on them which is always great to have on a cutting board. These are flexible too.



These are very durable and easy to clean. I do however recommend not to use anything abrasive on them as I don't know how well the writing will last if you do. Overall these are great and I highly recommend these.

REVIEW:
This was the first self tanning mitt I have ever tried BUT I have heard and seen other talk about them and seen them used. This mitt seems better than a lot of others. The first thing I noticed about it was how super soft and well made it is. It is thick but easy to use. I used it and loved it. My no bake self tanner went on great with it. It provided great application and it was super easy to clean. I love that it came with a smaller finger one. It made doing my face easy and it great for those stubborn areas that need touching up. Overall a great self tanner mitt. It even came with a storage bag. I recommend this self tanning mitt to anyone looking for a great one.

Decodyne Fruit Infusion Pitcher



This is a very nice pitcher. It is very well made and durable. I can see this pitcher surviving drops. I've been fortunate enough to not have dropped it yet which is surprising since I am accident prone. Anyways I love this pitcher. My daughter refuses to drink plain water so before I got this to review I was using water enhancers and flavoring but some have ingredients I would rather her not have if I can help it. With this I can make her flavored water and know exactly what is in it. It is very easy to use. Just add your favorite fruit in the infuser and water. Let it set for a couple of hours and enjoy tasty water. The infuser rod unscrews and screws back on with ease. The spout design make pouring easy and does drip or cause spills. I will be buying one soon to use with my detox water I have recently started making. I highly recommend this pitcher to anyone.

My favorite recipe
2 limes
1 big lemon
1 cucumber
2 teaspoons honey or artificial sweetener(Optional) 

Slice all and add to infuser rod. Let set for an hour or two and enjoy. Drink through out the day. Curbs appetite and flushes for system.
Tastes great too.

MY REVIEW
I love this teething necklace and bracelet. Not only are they super cute but very durable. I got these for my 2 year old. She is a bitter and chewer. This has saved a little of my sanity. She now chews on these and not just random toys and misc. items. I wish I would have found these earlier. These would have really helped when she was teething. The giraffe's design is great. It can get to back teeth without causing her to choke on it. The back of it bumpy and would be great to soothe gums during teething. My daughter has chewed on it constantly since I got and it shows no signs of damage and she does chew on it hard and has all her teeth. If your looking for a cute and quality teething item I highly recommend.

Queen.M Reviews

Queen.M Lavender Dress

WOW! This dress is just so beautiful! I love the color and design. This dress is well made. The material is nice and silky. The stitching is great and durable. It has stretchy backing, zips on the side, and padded cups. This dress is about mid thigh long. This would make anyone a great party dress. I got the XL and it fits best like a size 12 dress. I suggest measuring yourself before ordering to select the best size for you.
