I love their <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/?p=2347\">brownies and cinnamon raisin bread<\/a>, so I was really excited to try the blueberry muffins and pizza crust. <\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchmeadow.com\/products\/desserts\/gluten-free-muffins\">blueberry muffins<\/a> are life-changing.  Seriously.  I would not lie about something of this magnitude.  I thought Jon was just gushing per usual when he tried a new product that he liked, but then I took a bite.  I almost fell out of my chair.  I could not believe how moist &amp; fresh these muffins tasted!  I got up to read the ingredients because I really did not think that these could be gluten-free.  I assure you, they are, and <strong>they rock<\/strong>! <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"004\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/004-6.jpg\" width=\"338\" height=\"305\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now, check out the inside:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"010\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/010-4.jpg\" width=\"422\" height=\"285\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I love that there are so many blueberries in these babies!  Another hit from French Meadow Bakery!<\/p>\n<p>Now, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchmeadow.com\/products\/gluten-free\/gluten-free-pizza-crust-6-pack\">pizza crust.<\/a>  I loved the individual size.  The package says that there are 3 servings per small pizza at 130 calories per serving &#8211; making the crust just under 400 calories.  I added Prego Three Cheese (which now says &#8220;gluten-free&#8221; on the side) and mozzarella.  I followed the baking instructions and it came out fantastic!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"003\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeislife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/05\/003-2.jpg\" width=\"424\" height=\"275\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The crust comes on a foil pan, which is what you actually bake the pizza on.  Very simple and quick.  Jon really enjoyed the pizza &amp; crust.  I also snuck a bite and was impressed. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.frenchmeadow.com\/\">French Meadow<\/a> is having a recipe contest!
