As a mom of a child who cannot have gluten, readily available gluten-free goods are a gift! So, when Kristin, keto-chef and owner of Bliss Batter Co., asked if I would like to try her gluten-free cookies, it was an easy yes!

Presented an array of wonderful gluten-free brown butter cookies and two selections of gluten-free banana baked items, it truly was blissful to see them laid out at my table at the office. I glared at them while Kristin told me about her business and her beautifully-packaged goods.

What sets her apart from all of the gluten-free baked goods that I've ever tried is they are beautifully made and taste as equally delicious! For me, I've had my fair share of mediocre gluten-free baked cookies and Bliss Batter Co's are not mediocre! These cookies are sophisticated of the brown butter kind with nuts and high quality ingredients! Pictured are:

• Harvest crunch Banana Bread (mini loaf) GLUTEN FREE
• Belgiun Chocolate Bliscuit GLUTEN FREE
• Bliss Bites 4 pack GLUTEN FREE
• Dark Belgian Pecan GLUTEN FREE
• Belgiun Milk Walnut GLUTEN FREE
• Belgian Trifecta GLUTEN FREE
• Belgian Milk Caramel GLUTEN FREE

I did not have breakfast nor lunch due to a busy Thursday with catching up with builds for work and another earlier meeting, so when Bliss Batter Co. came, I was so hungry, and am so glad because I was able to indulge. I got so distracted by my first bite, I even forgot that I was recording a video of her Belgian Dark Pecan Brown Butter Cookie. Yes, it's gluten-free and DELICIOUS.

Compared to the bigger cities, we are limited on gluten-free dedicated baked goods. Thankfully, San Luis Obispo has Bliss Batter Co., a gluten-free dedicated business owned by Kristin Norwood based here on the Central Coast. I am so happy for this new addition. Although there is no storefront, you can find Bliss Batter Co.'s amazing gluten-free brown butter cookies and gluten-free banana goods at 3 locations: Laetitia Vineyards & Winery in Arroyo Grande, La Pizca in Arroyo Grande, and Hubbalicious Sweet Shoppe in Arroyo Grande.

Everything that I've had tasted amazing and all the textures from the seeds or nuts with the amount of sweetness balanced just right. However, I do have favorites. My favorites are the Harvest crunch Banana Bread (mini loaf) GLUTEN FREE and Belgiun Chocolate Bliscuit GLUTEN FREE as they have banana in them, and I am definitely a banana pastry type of girl.

Last week, I went to Disneyland with my family and we stayed at the Disneyland Hotel. We prepared, we packed, and we found the microwave at the hotel! Click here to read my review/highlights from our Orange County Vacation about the happiest place on earth and where to find that microwave!

When we started our campfire tradition, we had a harder time cause it was windy but if you have good weather, have all of the supplies and are prepared, having a campfire at the beach can be so relaxing. 

Pismo State Beach allows you have to campfire but they have to be distinguished by 10PM every night. Things I always bring include: lighter, lighter fluid, 2 buckets for water to extinguish at the end (I use ocean water), tinder for quick start up (which I usually use cardboard paper around the house), a shovel to dig a hole, and enough firewood for one evening.

Starting a Campfire Steps:

• First, you dig a hole with a shovel. I've seen people try to do it with their hands and they got tired and frustrated pretty quickly. The hole should not be too deep or you won't feel the warmth of the fire, but you need a hole so the fire can hold and that embers won't be flying in your face.
• Then, you stack a few pieces of firewood like a tent. Put some lighter fluid on the firewood you laid out in that hole that you're starting with.
• Before using the match or lighter, add some tinder paper (for me I use cardboard) in between the firewood you laid out and some on the bottom. Then, light the tinder. If it's successful, you should't need to add any more lighter fluid. Just add a bit more tinder until the firewood catches the fire well. Before it gets too dark, I suggest filling your bucket(s) with water as it'll be easier to get this done ahead of time while you can still see. I live by the ocean so I get ocean water since my campfires are usually at the beach.
• Add fire wood as needed. Relax, enjoy the warmth, and great conversation. When it's time to leave, extinguish all of your fire with the bucket of water you already pre-filled. This is to keep everyone safe, especially those wandering around with children.

See a campfire at Pismo State Beach during Memorial Day weekend.

@pismobeach We have a campfire every couple of months since we live so close to Pismo State Beach. Day pass to drive on the beach was sold out so we walked on the beach this time. #campfire #beachvibes #pismostatebeach ♬ original sound - introspoke
