  1. I Googled "Chex Pie Crust" and found your site. I'm attempting to make a pumpkin pie (this is my first holiday season eating GF!), and Chex was the best thing I could think of! Awesome recipe ideas!

  2. I just stumbled upon your website, but I thought I'd let you know that Corn Chex is not certified GF (though Rice Chex is!)

  3. Writing on any subject is not an easy task, when you write on any subject it is very difficult. Anyone who thinks that he will write something easily on any subject, then his thinking is very wrong, I do not know that perhaps those people will have to put so much mind. Whatever you have written in your post, it has been written very beautifully, you are a person writing a good post, the more you are praised, the less it is.
