Well, bud the brand is kinnikinnick.

See for yourself amazing gluten-free donuts really do exist. Get them today!!!

LOL..sorry for the oh so commercial setting, but I had to make a point that these are some amazing GF donuts so try them.

Truth be Told

Well, this is the part where I spill the beans and tell you that I am not much of a cook. I blog about good food I find, but not so much good food I’ve made. I would like to get more into cooking and baking, but I have had some serious gluten-free catastrophes therefore I choose the already made food. Maybe this is why I am dying for a Whole Foods? Anyway, being as though I am approaching adulthood I need to become a good, at best, gluten-free food maker? If you guys know of some rockin GF recipes leave me a comment and I will try every one of them!!! TTYL

Dear gluten-free Diary

Hey gluten-free people sorry I haven’t posted anything in way, way to long. In my absence I acquired some knowledge about a topic that I have mentioned in almost every post I have written! What is it you may ask? Udi’s bread! I thought that Udi’s only came as white or whole grain sandwich bread. Well, I am pleased to say I was mistaken. In a recent trip to Yokes Fresh Market they not only carried Udi’s sandwich bread,but Udi’s muffins, bagels, and pizza crust. Although we have not gotten a Whole Foods yet I am glad the gluten-free community has gotten a little more attention. TTYL

P.S. check this out it’s everything Udi’s!!!!

P.P.S        HAPPY 4th OF JULY!!!!!

Dear gluten-free Diary

     I’m weird in a sense that I love barbeque chips, but hate barbeque sauce. I love me them barbeque chips. They are so good. I love the Lays brand, but about a year ago at Costco they had some Kettle Brand barbeque chips. Here in Spokane, Whole Foodsless as you all know, Costco is the pride and joy of grocery shopping. It’s the one place where there is a bit of variety. Sadly not a ton of gluten-free, but a lot of meat and fish, fresh fruit, and since last year amazing barbeque chips!!!

     Gluten-free of course, Kettle Brand give the Lays Brand barbeque chips a run for their money. The kettle brand barbeque is a million times better. Sadly they are only around in the summer time. Once fall comes around these bad boys are gone till next year. So if you like how these amazing chips are sounding stock up while you can. Drive that car to your nearest Costco ASAP!!!

      

Dear gluten-free diary

Sorry I haven’t posted anything in forever I’ve been super busy finishing school.  It doesn’t really feel like summer for me. The school year went by so fast! You also have to put in to consideration how absolutely terrible Spokane weather is. Mother nature is bipolar in washington or something. It’s either sunny and super, rainy and random, or snowy and sick. Sometimes all in the same day. Eeeeew I get sick just thinking about snow. It’s beautiful during the winter, but not in spring and summer seriously mother nature? I mean it’s June and 50 degrees outside. What is this?

I can’t wait when it gets hot enough to go to the lake and swim, have barbecues, and roast marshmallows. I found the best gluten-free buns. There great with burgers, and sloppy joes. I first tasted them at a restaurant called Twigs here in Spokane. They taste exactly like gluten-filled ones…..so I’m told I can’t remember what gluten-filled anything taste like. I only remember liking what it taste like. Do you feel the same way? Maybe I’m just weird?

Anyways, the buns are from the brand kinnikinnick. They are so good!!! I strongly recommend them!!!

Dear gluten-free Diary

Gluten-free people I am sure you have noticed that gluten-free food is so, so, so much more expensive than gluten filled food. Why? Have you ever wondered why? I, while trying to find an answer, found this site with statistics about how much more expensive gluten-free food really is. It’s crazy. It’s not like we chose to be allergic to wheat. It chose us………..well maybe not that deep are bodies just don’t react well with gluten. Should we be punished for this? I believe that food should be priced the same gluten-free or gluten-filled.

I absolutely hate when I buy a cake or cookie mix bake it and……….hate it! It is a total waste of money! Then your stuck at square one again praying that the next one you try is at least decent. I wish that in Spokane we had a store where there were already baked gluten-free foods. Not only is it easier, but it’s less expensive. Another reason why we need a Whole Foods!!!

Anyway, peoples lives are hectic we don’t have time to constantly bake and try and try and try to find the perfect  gluten-free thing. I found the perfect bread with Udi’s, but everything else gluten-free I am constantly on the search for. At Whole Foods they have already baked gluten-free goods. You know it is baked how it’s supposed to be because they are pro’s there. They know how to bake their gluten-free foods. Your not thinking what if I baked it longer or shorter? Would that make it taste better? You like how it taste or you don’t.

To sum this up, it is wrong that GF food is so expensive. It would be so much easier for GF people to find the perfect gluten-free foods and not have to worry about the whole in your wallet getting bigger. Today I had to throw away these gluten-free bagels because they made me feel sick. It was a very expensive mistake to buy them in the first place, and makes me want to crap my pants to have to throw them away! I need to just stick to the Glutino bagels.

Dear gluten-free Diary

Alright my gluten-free people I am going to tell you about my gluten-free life,thus far, has been and how it has changed my eating healthy life, and forever will. Sorry run on sentence. Anyway, before I became gluten-free I didn’t realize how much gluten I was eating. In school especially I have come to realize it the most. People in my class often bring cookies, brownies,…etc for their birthday. As any other Celiac would do you kindly say no thank you, and pass on that yummy treat. Well, this ritual recently got me thinking about how much healthier I am eating being gluten-free.

Think about it, as a GlutenFreeGirly or a GlutenFreeGuyly?… you are always on the hunt for even a trace of gluten in anything and everything you put into you mouth. Think about how much healthier this transformed your diet. It gets you reading labels, looking at ingredients, realizing what your really putting into you body.

For my food ritual..if there is such a thing, I always look at the nutrition facts before I buy anything even if it’s gluten-free. Just because it says it’s gluten-free doesn’t mean that its everlasting goodness that isn’t ever bad for you. There will always be food that is better for you than others whether it’s gluten-free or gluten-filled.

I found this picture online it sort of fits perfectly.

Larabars

I have told you of the amazingly tasty Bumble Bar, but friends there is another GF bar just as good!! The Larabar is full of flavor, and has a ton of different kinds including cashew cookie, my fave, and apple pie!!! It’s dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free, vegan, non GMO, and kosher. It’s totally awesome, and a great snack on the go! So if you’re looking for a rockin new snack look no further!!!

DEPRIVED…and need to be REVIVED!!!

Have you ever been deprived of something people? I’m not talking when your mama takes your cellphone away…..I’m talking something much, much bigger. Okay wait maybe not that big? Well, big for me. Sorry hyper :). Anyway, WE ARE OUT OF UDI’S BREAD IN SPOKANE!!! Let me explain this in other terms hey dude WE ARE OUT OF UDI’S BREAD in the “Can” (Spokane) yo! If you have read my blog before you know my crazy obsession with Udi’s gluten-free bread. If you haven’t I recommend you read my earlier post about this fascinating topic known as awesome GF bread!!!

In the “Can”  there is only ONE place where Udi’s bread is found, and sadly that ONE place is out of stock….sigh. This just shows you how badly we need a Whole Foods in Spokane! I am deprived and having to deal with other GF bread that tastes like cardboard, gives me stomach aches, leaves me unsatisfied, and having to deal with an ugly sandwich for school….ugh!

I will let you know when

A) I calm down. 🙂

and

B) Udi’s Bread is back in stock and in my house!!!

GF Candy

Sorry I haven’t posted anything in a few days. I just couldn’t think of anything to write about. In the process of trying to figure this out I stumbled upon a list of gluten-free candies. Random I know, but this isn’t just 5 or 6 candies, it’s more like 100 or even more!! I have always wondered if the candy that I like is as gluten-free as I think it is. I hope this clears the air for all of us…..enjoy your movie.

Milk duds………yummmm……….The world’s best candy! No questions asked!!! ; )
