June 29th is National Almond Butter Crunch Day. Almond butter is a great way to get that good, healthy fat. There are many varieties of almond butter on the market and most of them are gluten-free.
I asked a few celiac friends if they had noticed a change in Udi’s bread. They all answered with the same statement; “Yes, it’s full of holes!” I emailed Udi’s a few times, but never heard back from them. So I did what all good little bloggers do and posted a picture on my blog.
I have no idea how many people have complained to Udi’s about their hollow bread, or if they are taking measures to correct it. They certainly have not asked for my two cents (imagine that!). But as a celiac with a nutrition and food science background I know that if you add too much yeast or baking powder in relationship to the flour; or you (more…)
It has been a little over a year since General Mills launched gluten-free Hamburger Helper and already it has been changed.
Hamburger Helper will no longer be gluten free because it is going to be processed in a different manufacturing facility that cannot be guaranteed to be free from cross contamination. The newly processed Hamburger Helper will not have the ‘gluten free’ label, but will be labeled “may contain wheat”.
I never tried any of the varieties of gluten-free Hamburger Helper because the flavor options weren’t all that interesting to me, they were loaded with salt and it is frankly (more…)

For more than five years, Bard’s has been the beer I bring to parties and barbecues. Friends who try it for the first time all say the same thing…“Hey, this tastes just like REAL beer!”
That is because Bard’s IS real beer, brewed in the style of American Lager. The only difference is that instead of using barley, Bard’s uses sorghum, a gluten-free grain.
Located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Bard’s Beer was developed by two celiac (more…)
There is just something about a warm, soft pretzel that reminds me of my youth. Watching the Cubs play at Wrigley Field, enjoying the circus, or attending an amusement park just seemed better when you munched on a pretzel. Thanks to the good folks at Kim and Scott’s Gourmet Pretzels now there is a frozen gluten-free pretzel to fill the void. (more…)
We shop at Trader Joe’s at the Forum about once a week and we are always scanning the aisles to see what gluten-free products we can find. On a recent trip we discovered their taco seasoning mix. It has a ‘g’ on the front of the package and it is only .79 cents a pack, so we decided to give it a try. (more…)
I was recently sent a sample of Wild Alice Bars, which are gluten free and vegan. I was sent the apricot cashew and cranberry walnut flavors, the latter being my favorite.
I took the cranberry walnut bar with me while snowboarding in Tahoe last weekend and it was a lifesaver. The snow was perfect so I didn’t want to waste time going inside to eat and, (more…)
