HomeFree Cookie Review

I had the privilege of trying out some new and delicious allergy-friendly cookies to hit the market and give my opinion on them!

HomeFree is a company that was started by a mom with kids who wanted to see all kids...including those with food allergies...included in ALL occasions.  What a great goal, as those of us with kids who can't have certain foods KNOW what it s like not to let your child have a treat with all the other kids at get-togethers and functions.

When I first went gluten-free, I tried EVERYTHING I could get my hands on in the stores.  It was rather disheartening to discover that many gluten free food available had either corn or dairy in the ingredient list, limiting our choices even further.  What we were left with was a lot of not-so-appetizing and very expensive packaged items loaded with a whole lot of NOTHING in the nutrition department.  One of things I like best about these cookies, even though they are allergy friendly and tasty.....they also contain wholesome ingredients!  Right up my alley HomeFree, thank you!


Taste.  The whole family happily got in on this one!  The gluten free cookies were a huge hit!  Crunchy and flavorful, the Chocolate Chip ones reminded me of Famous Amos Cookies..but with an ingredients list I can live with!  The Gluten Free Vanilla Cookies had a super vanilla bang and reminded me of animal cookies (but better!).  The Gluten Free Oatmeal Cookies were soft and chewy.  My husband liked the crunchy Gluten Free Chocolate Chocolate Chip best.

My message to retailers: CARRY THESE!!  I would love to see some of these convenient little mini-packages available at coffee shops and play areas around town.  What a great option for the growing number of families faced with food allergies!

You can order these cookies through HomeFree's website, http://www.homefreetreats.com/default.aspx
