I took the girls on vacation for the first time in YEARS: camping on a sandy beach, with legendary wild ponies nearby.
The sun was hot, the surf was rough and when the sun set, the mosquitoes were huge, thick and hungry. We pitched the tents in a wild breeze and managed to keep the woodfire burning. S'Mores were very much on my mind. After a search, I had found a precious box of gluten-free graham crackers. Life was good.Well, in theory, anyway.
These Kinnikinnick Graham Crackers are not S'Mores-friendly. They taste like graham - but the texture is all wrong. They are a lot like shortbread cookies. They'll hold a toasted marshmallow and a melty chocolate square- but when I bit into the s'more, the filling oozed out long before the cracker broke. Tasty, but not very S'More-y.
As a cookie, I give it 4 stars, but as a graham cracker, I give it just 2 stars.

Make vanilla ice cream with broccoli? Can't be done and most of us would never try. But we do try to make a lot of our favorite gluten-full foods Gluten-Free. That means trying to replicate flavors and textures with substitutions. I want better than "Not bad - for gluten-free" (which means "If I had my choice, I wouldn't eat it!") I miss the foods I love, the foods of family, holiday, and social traditions. I keep trying and keep buying - and now I am sharing my opinion on what I've found.
