Be Free For Me Blog

Summer is here my friends and it’s time for the lazy, hazy and crazy days of summer. And what would summer be without ice cream?

But those of us on a gluten-free diet understand that ice cream in a boring little cup is, well…. just that…boring. There’s something to be said for ice cream that is licked, slurped and thoroughly enjoyed from a good old fashioned ice cream cone. Cups just can’t stand up to a cone.

That is why I bought my own gluten-free ice cream cones on Amazon.com and bring my own cone to my local Dairy Queen for a soft-serve treat that is so very, very, very much appreciated by this ice-cream-loving-gluten-free gal.

For those of you who weren’t aware, Dairy Queen soft-serve ice cream is gluten-free and they also have an extensive list of gluten-free treats. Note: If ordering a Blizzard make sure they know ahead of time you’re gluten-free so they can clean the equipment  to avoid any cross-contamination.

By now I’m sure my local Dairy Queen employees knows me as “the girl that brings her own gluten-free ice cream cone”. But to me I’m just one happy gluten-free gal… taking life one single lick at a time.

I love ice cream, but since going gluten-free my ice cream lovin’ life just hasn’t been the same.

There’s something about having to eat an ice cream in a cup that just seems too proper. I decided it’s the cone that makes ice cream rip-roaring fun. I miss the drips. I miss the mess. I miss the bottom falling out of the cone. I miss licking as fast I can.

I miss my ice cream cones.

That is why I was so very excited to find Goldbaum’s Gluten-free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free and Peanut-Free Ice Cream Cones at my local supermarket.

These cones come in four flavors: The sugar cone style that comes in three flavors; Traditional Sugar Cones, Cocoa Sugar Cones and the Jumbo Cones; and also the traditional “cup” style that come in a box of 12 cones, wrapped in two separates packs with 6-cones in each. Me? I put one of the 6-packs in my car, for those swing-into Dairy Queen on a whim type of days, and the other 6-pack in my cupboard for my late night “I Can Eat An Ice Cream Cone So I Am!” type of days.

Hurray to Goldbaum’s for making all gluten-free summers more memorable and little sweeter… drips and all.

All these reasons are why I am screaming with joy that Goldbaum’s Gluten-free, Soy-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Nut-Free and Peanut-Free (did I mention they were made in a nut-free facility?) Ice Cream Cones are this week’s WIN-It-Wednesday sponsor on BeFreeForMe.com.
