This Examiner has been eating and enjoying Jones Dairy Farm meat products for a number of years, so when I was asked to review their products it was a no brainer.
Jones Dairy Farm is a 122-year-old family owned business based in Fort Atkinson, Wisconsin, that makes all natural pork and turkey sausage as well as Canadian bacon, ham, liverwurst, bacon and other pork products. The majority of their products (except scrapple) are certified gluten free by the GFCO.
The best part is their products taste wonderful and they don’t contain any (more…)
In the past few weeks, I’ve had the chance to ponder the question “What is healthy food?” It seems that many of us have very different perceptions. Maybe that’s what stands in our way some times, we think healthy food and healthy eating is not obtainable.
It would be so much easier if my brain did not crave things like salty chips or sweet cookies but the reality is, it does. Maybe it’s a combination of many years of being bombarded with advertising to make me think I want it or maybe it’s as simple as it satisfies something in my head. I didn’t take enough psychology in college to answer that. I do know if it’s around me (like it is now as I write; you wouldn’t believe what is at the end of the table at my sister’s house) I’m less likely to eat well.
In my older years, I have realized that if I allow myself a little rather than denying myself entirely, I can balance the cravings with (more…)
It has finally happened…the gluten-free answer to the vanilla wafer has been discovered and it is the vanilla cookies made by Gefen. Now for the bad news…they are only available during Passover and they are made in Israel.
While strolling the aisles at a local Super Target we discovered Gefen’s vanilla cookies on clearance for $3.90 per box. What really caught my attention was the Celiac Disease Foundation logo on the box. The cookies are made from: potato starch, sugar, whole eggs, palm oil and vanilla. Somehow we just knew they were going to taste amazing and they do.
These cookies remind me of a vanilla wafer crossed with (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…)
Ha ha….do you like my fancy rhyme? That isn’t why I am writing this post. I saw an article on Glutenfreeville that linked over to an iVillage article on some gluten-free foods that they (Sloane Miller aka Allergic Girl) found the tastiest.
Here are the 12 products that Miller/iVillage has listed as “The Tastiest Gluten-Free Foods”
Mrs. Richardson’s dessert toppings make a fantastic gluten-free addition to any bowl of ice cream. Top with some Cool Whip, nuts and a cherry and you have yourself a sundae. Ice cream in the winter? Of course!
Mrs. Richardson’s, manufactured by Baldwin Richardson Foods Co., has several different varieties of dessert toppings. They include: (more…)
Karo corn syrup is gluten-free. There was some confusion about Karo since it contains caramel coloring. A few of my readers were concerned about the coloring and here is what the manufacturer of Karo Syrup has to say.
“All Karo Syrup products are free of gluten, soy, milk, egg, peanut and tree nuts. The syrup production facility does not contain ingredients with these allergens, so cross contamination is not an issue. While some caramel colorings (more…)
Most people who read my articles know this Examiner is a big fan of the gluten-free product line currently available from Kinnikinnick Foods. Kinnikinnick was the first company this Examiner found that made a retail line of gluten-free doughnuts, but this year Glutino got into the gluten-free doughnut making game and we felt it necessary to compare the brands and choose a winner. (more…)
It is so fun to pass on all the new information learned about gluten-free products, shopping and dining. The list below reflects what this Examiner learned over the last week.
Thanks go out to The Crispy Cook for compiling a list of gluten-free blogs with links to each one. After reviewing the list, this Examiner discovered a number of blogs to check out and is excited to see what they have to offer.
