Believing that kids should feel empowered in the kitchen, Raised Gluten Free is proud to introduce three cookie mixes that were crafted with little bakers in mind. Available in chocolate chip, double chocolate, and confetti, each package features illustrated instructions that kids can easily follow, plus an image of a Supernatural Kid and their sidekick Cookie Paws to inspire. The directions show to simply mash vegan butter and applesauce together, stir in the mix until it is a light and fluffy dough, refrigerate for 15 minutes, and pop the tray in the oven (with a grown-ups help!). The result is delectably soft and chewy, wholesome cookies with balanced, not overly sweet flavor.  

“At Raised Gluten Free, we’re all about building community and making it so those with food restrictions, especially kids, don’t feel left out,” shares Rosa Dixon, co-founder and chief executive officer of Raised Gluten Free. “Our new cookie mixes give children a chance to feel accomplished in the kitchen, while also creating a sweet treat to enjoy with friends and family, no matter the dietary differences.”

Founded by two moms and childhood best friends, Rosa Dixon and Milia Lando, Raised Gluten Free produces small-batch, plant-based comfort food for those following special dietary restrictions.

100% vegan and certified gluten free, the plant-based mixes are made with quality, simple ingredients that are rich in from-scratch taste. The chocolate chip mix yields homestyle, semi-sweet cookies packed with comforting flavor, the double chocolate delivers decadent, chocolatey goodness in every bite, and the confetti pairs sugar cookies with sprinkles for a delightful treat that feels like a special occasion. Each are Kosher Pareve, Non-GMO Project Verified, and free of the nine top allergens, including dairy, eggs, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, and sesame.

Raised Gluten Free’s Cookie Mixes, which bake up 12 cookies per 11-ounce pouch, are currently sold at select Kroger locations nationwide. They’re also available for retailers nationwide to carry. 

Love, Liv Bakery

Sarah Beddoe experienced the immense difficulty posed by Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) after her daughter, Olivia, was rushed to the ICU after a fatal bout with the disease. Following this incident, Olivia had to face the struggle of having a difficult lifestyle to maintain, which is difficult for anyone to follow, especially a child.

What was a mother to do seeing a child suffer? Following the incident and her child’s struggle with finding snacks she enjoys, Sarah wanted to give her daughter the lifestyle she wanted, without compromising her health. A fateful invite from Olivia to bake cookies that she and her friends can enjoy sparked the inspiration that eventually led to Love, Liv Bakery, based in Dallas. The bakery sells four flavors of cookies (chocolate chip, snickerdoodle, sugar, and Peanut Butter Magic.

The Dallas bakeshop has a growing menu of cookie varieties, all of which are made using oat flour and sweetened using organic stevia extract, guaranteeing everyone a low-carb and safely consumable snack for everyone, regardless of any dietary restrictions.

Seeing the lack of better or acceptable options for T1D warriors and other kids with dietary restrictions, Sarah and Olivia sought a way to solve this problem themselves by providing a better and safer option for everyone. As such, Sarah is on a mission, inspired by her daughter, to help everyone reduce their sugar intake, without compromising taste. By providing delicious treats without any harmful ingredients, Love, Liv continues to help both children and adults enjoy the simple joys of munching on a cookie without worrying about its impact on their health.

As a result of their dedication, along with motherly love, the Love, Liv Bakeshop was born, providing sugar-free and gluten-free treats, to ensure that everyone can have their share of sweet snacks. Created for children and inspired by children. Love, Liv is a brand that goes beyond the grain of gluten-free and sugar-free products. They want to bring back delicious, nutritious, and genuinely fun snacks for everyone to enjoy.
