My only complaints are small portions for the money.  That is understandable given how expensive SCD ingredients are.

She offers unique SCD birthday cakes!

Reviews of my favorite items:

Flat bread – tastes just like moist cornbread.  Not a joke.  This is AMAZING.  I buy like 6-12 orders every time she makes it.  After a year of trying I finally come up with a mock recipe, but it took forever to duplicate it.

Pumpkin cookiewiches/apple cinnamon/banana whoopie pies – interesting texture.  Like a whoopie pie!  The cookie part is a bit dry.

Almondine Cookies – lovely buttery melt in your mouth texture and no strong honey aftertaste.

Easter Sweetbread – like a pound cake.  Don’t be fooled by the name.  It is not all that sweet.  One of the few SCD breads I like.  Usually I don’t like a strong taste of eggs, nuts, or honey in my bread which rules out most SCD bread.  This one is pretty good!

Candied Nut Brittle – yummy candied nut brittle / different nuttier texture than most SCD candy recipes.

Lollipops – yummy and taste like mint/honey.

Donut Holes – mild flavor slightly bland.  Very much like plain donut holes from dunkin donuts.  Great with tea or coffee.  Christmas Munchkins taste the same to me.

Cinnamon Rolls – these things are amazing.  I have never been able to figure out how to make anything close to these.  They taste like rugelach.  I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE these.  I have no portion control around them.

Lemon and Ginger and cinnamon cookies – tasty hard cookies, very large and flavorful and not too moist.

Peanut granola chews – really yummy.  Like an oatmeal raisin cookie without the oats.  Just the honey raising chewiness.  I couldn’t tolerate the amount of honey and fruit pre revision but I am hoping I can now.

Good, but you can easily make yourself much cheaper using online SCD recipes:

most of the muffins,

pecan candies

evan’s favorite brownies

brownie stars

Things I do not enjoy as much:

most of the muffins – I have a thing against breads that taste too much like honey, nuts, or eggs.  This makes me not like most SCD breads.  If you don’t share that taste then you might love her muffins.

carrot cake – too moist and bland and too much honey taste for me

squash and coconut cookies – too moist and bland and too much honey taste for me

most of the breads – I have a thing against breads that taste too much like honey, nuts, or eggs.  This makes me not like most SCD breads.  If you don’t share that taste then you might love her breads!

cupcakes – too dry.  the frosting is nice when you are frosting deprived but it doesn’t provide the moistness somehow that traditional frosting lends to cupcakes.

cinnamon raisin scones and biscuits -  these are really unique textured items among SCD baked goods.  They are dry and were simply too hard and dry for me.  At the time I couldn’t tolerate added butter or honey.  If you could have soaked these in butter and honey they would have been awesome!

cinnamon coffee cake – not what I was expecting; too much nuts for my preference

almond thumbprint cookies and pB and J cookies – very unique jam texture! definitely worth a try.  I felt they had too much honey for my taste.

blueberry and apple delight -  too many chopped nuts for my preference

custom birthday cake – I just don’t love the nut flour taste that is the base of most SCD cakes.  I wish I did! Also I was too spoiled by buttercream frostings as a kid so that shortening with a little honey doesn’t taste like frosting to me.  However if you like nut flour fruit SCD baked goods you will love this cake and it certainly looks like a real cake!  I would think it would be great for a k id who wants to fit in with his friends

They sell the best almond and other nut flours I have ever found.  They are so finely ground that they improve the taste of all the recipes I use them for.  They sell in bulk.

Rachel and Esther are amazing with customer service.

I love their cookbook, SCD with taste and tradition, and I am addicted to the fluffy muffin recipe:

The website also sells cooking supplies like yogurt makers.
Reviews of the ready-baked goods:

The SCD Flat Bread – this is something I order 10 at a time.  I am addicted.  They are crackers.  I much prefer the original cashew to the almond.  They are wonderful with any kind of spread and very portable to work to have for lunch.

The sliced bread/muffins/muffins brownies - I did not really care for these.  I don’t tend to like nut flour bread products.  Something just always tastes off about them to me.  If you don’t have that issue then definitely give them a try.

Essential almontine crackers - very portable, hard, not crumbly normal tasting, but very bland crackers.  These would work if you have a very flavorful dip.

Fudge snackaroons - did not care for these.

SCD honey chews - taste very strongly of honey.  Not my favorites.

JJ Butter cookies - very yummy cookies.  Slightly hard rather than cake like.  Great PB taste and not much honey aftertaste.  I love these!

Velvet star cookies – if you like a cakier chewier rather than harder cooky than try these instead of the JJ butter cookies.

Hazelnut Blondies – very pleasant if you like coconut cookies or macaroons.

SCD Granola – wonderful and not too sweet.  The portion size was too small to make it economical for me.  My mom learned to make me SCD granola from a recipe and it is much cheaper if you can do that.

Pre-Made Products:

Nut bars are delicious, but beware they have a lot of honey and are a little sticky.  Would be good for kids if you keep wipeys with you.

Honey suckles – very convenient way to carry honey.  Would be good for kids.

Lara Bars: I like the cherry pie, apple pie, and coconut flavors.  They were too advanced for me (lots of fruit and dates) before my revision, but I hope to be able to tolerate them now.  They are less sticky than the nut bars.

Fruit Crisps and Freeze Dried Fruits: I could not tolerate these pre revision because fruit had too much sugar.  They are crunchy and not sticky and very portable and are probably a great way to get kids to eat fruit.  The peach and apple were both great.  The strawberry is slightly bitter.  I actually liked it, but you might find it too bitter.

and Souffle Bread from a cook book

and Lois Lang / Hadar’s Bread from

http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-bread/

All of these came out very eggy and card-boardy and not like bread.  I am not a talented cook at all.  It could be my fault.

Jim’s Fluffy Pancakes from No More Crohn’s

http://nomorecrohns.com/breakfast.aspx

With butter and honey and cinnamon it is very very yummy.

The chicken ones were just really bland to me and the fritters were way too mushy and moist.  I think I was spoiled by having eaten real potato fritters earlier in my life so I wanted that crunchy almost burnt type of hash brown that I used to like.

I did not care for the cupcake itself and prefer in the future to make a fluffy muffin base (recipe from Lucy’s Kitchen SCD Cookbook).

However, the lemon meringue frosting was AMAZING.  It is very lemony and sweet and a perfect texture.

Pre-surgery the honey content made me a little sick so I had to really limit my portions, but these days I think I could do more.

http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-cake/new-york-style-cheesecake/

Unfortunately pre-revision I could not tolerate either SCD yogurt or Farmer’s Cheese so both recipes made me extremely ill.

If you can tolerate the ingredients, both cheesecakes came out a little too wet and lumpy and reminiscent of cottage cheese instead of a cream cheese based cheesecake for my taste.  However if you are desperate for a cheesecake or like ricotta type cheesecakes then this will likely make you very happy!

I find that all the variations I try taste about the same with slight variations in heaviness/cakiness.  I also find that I get very different results making the same recipe each time.  Sometimes it is very heavy and thick and dry and too crumbly, and sometimes very moist and sticks together like it should.

I find I prefer peanut butter brownies to almond butter.

Here are the links:

I have also tried a few from my SCD cookbooks.

Pecan Bread Versions:

• Flourless Nut Butter Cake
• Nut Butter Brownies Photo!

Most are similar to:

I tried a few from GrainFree Gourmet Cookbook.  http://www.grainfreegourmet.com/

PecanBread:

http://www.pecanbread.com/new/recipes.html

These make delicious buttery toffee candies.  Depending on how much you cook them they are more like Werther’s Hard Candies or more like stretchy fudgy toffee.

They taste amazing, but the fat/honey content made me sick pre-revision.  Now that I am post surgery I may be able to try them again.

Both have a lot of butter especially if you drizzle a butter/honey mixture on top as a glaze.  It is especially delicious that way.

And here is a very similar tasting recipe for English Butter cake:

http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-cake/boeterkoek-english-buttercake/

Both are very moist buttery flat cakes (not very thick).  As long as I went light on the honey, neither gave me too much trouble digestively.
