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!!! ; )

IN-N-OUT BURGER

Who hasn’t heard of the famous burger joint IN-N-OUT BURGER? Well, gluten-free people if you haven’t already heard, IN-N-OUT is a fast food place where the thought of cross-contaminated oil isn’t needed. They cut their potatoes right there in the store so they are really fresh!  Plus they only serve three things: burgers fries and drinks.

The only bummer….it’s found in four states on the West Coast Arizona, California, Utah, and Nevada, but if you’re ever in the area it’s a stop worth taking! Their burgers are phenomenal! Although we can’t eat the bun, the protein style, or lettuce wrapped burger, is again phenomenal. I love IN-N-OUT!

Even better in person!

Why Don’t Producers Make GF baking and cooking shows?

     Have you ever wondered why producers don’t  make gluten-free cooking or baking shows? I have always wondered why. There are so many shows about how to cook this and bake that, but it is never geared toward gluten-free. As Celiac Disease and Gluten Intolerance are becoming more prevalent I am surprised that nothing like this has happened yet. 

      On the Food network’s website they show awesome gluten-free recipes, but wouldn’t it be nice if they could show you how to make it live. I, along with millions of gluten-free people, would tune in everyday to see a new gluten-free recipe. Wouldn’t it be the best thing in the world if the Food network produced a gluten-free cooking and baking show? 

     I know that once in a while there will be a gluten-free cooking day on the Food network, but consistency is all I am asking. Just think of all the yummy food they have on their shows. Wouldn’t it be cool if they had a show to show us how to make  all that yummy food GF.  I just had this thought in my head and thought you all might feel the same way. TTYL

Letter to Whole Foods

Hey Everyone,

Alright, as I have mentioned in earlier post I live in little old Spokane. Here in Spokane the only gluten-free grocery store with a decent variety of GF foods is Huckleberry’s. Don’t get me wrong I love Huckleberry’s, but it makes me sick every time I go to Seattle because they have Whole Foods, Trader Joe’s, and a ton of other gluten-free food stores. I have heard talk about maybe getting a Trader Joe’s here, but not a Whole Foods. So this got me thinking, what if I wrote a letter to Whole Foods asking if they could put a store in Spokane. I’m getting tired of bringing a cooler and extra luggage every time I go to Seattle. Every GF person I’ve talked to does the same. We NEED A WHOLE FOODS!! I know that people who aren’t even gluten-free want one in Spokane. If you have any ideas of what I should say let me know. I’ll post my letter as soon as I write and mail it. TTYL

Doesn’t that look like gluten-free heaven?

Hello World I Have A Gluten Intolerance

I am sure you have all felt like me before when I say…HELLO WORLD I HAVE A GLUTEN INTOLERANCE or…….HELLO WORLD I HAVE CELIAC DISEASE. Can you count how many times you have had to tell people about your new diet? Well, I have only had my allergy for 3 years, but I can’t count how many times I’ve had to say it. Often times when I say I have a Gluten Intolerance I get a what? I then explain with simple terms like no bread for me, or no donut today or any day. I then get reactions like that sucks, or I feel bad for you. I smile and say it’s okay because I feel so much better without gluten in my diet. I feel like I have a badge of   “honor” that is permanently pinned on me for life. I thought this looked like the perfect badge and decided to share it. I’m wearing my badge today are you? 🙂

Elisabeth Hasselbeck Book

I just finished a research paper about Celiac Disease/Gluten Intolerance and  used this book as a reference. It rocks! It’s full of awesome gluten-free facts, and is great to have on hand if you have a question about a food. If you haven’t bought it already do it now!!

GLuten-Free Ice Cream

Good Karma Organic Rice Divine Ice Cream!!! Holy cow I finally found a good gluten-free ice cream. An added plus, it’s dairy-free too for all the GF and DF (dairy-free) people out there. I am DF too so I can relate to the no more ice cream pain!! This brand doesn’t have the same old vanilla and chocolate, but there’s Mud Pie, Banana Fudge, and my fave Carrot cake. Seriously try it!!

GlutenFreeGirly’s Top 13 GF foods

• Udi’s gluten-free bread–alright I’m peeved if you haven’t bought it yet!!
• Roads End Organics—penne and chreese, yes chreese, organic brown rice pasta. It’s cheddar style. This is just a fancy name for GF macaroni and cheese, but still it’s the best.
• Envirokids—organic peanut butter panda puffs! If your like me and love your Captain Crunch, and miss it terribly, this is the GF version. It’s better for you too.
• Amy’s–gluten-free pizza, so good! My favorite is the spinach. It’s with organic rice flour and tomatoes. There’s cheese to is you didn’t find the spinach intriguing.
• Greek God’s Greek Yogurt–If you haven’t gotten into Greek Yogurt yet do it now. It taste just like regular yogurt and is way better for you! I love the Greek God’s honey, but other brands are good to like anything Chobani and Oiko’s.
• Lundberg– aborio rice risottos. They come in a ton of flavors all excellent!!
• Glutino—GF bagels, is there anything better than a bagel?
• Nature’s Path Organics–buckwheat waffles. Holy Moly wafflicious. My fave is the wildberry.
• Mi-Del —all natural cinnamon snaps. They taste just like ginger snaps. I could eat a million of these   “in a snap!”
• Food for Life–English muffins. I seriously cannot tell a difference between real and GF English muffins after trying these. They rock!!
• Riceworks–If you’re searching for the perfect chip look no further!! There are a ton of flavors you’ll just have to find the one that you like the best. I would recommend trying sweet chili. It’s great with (chili) and virtually any dip!! 🙂
• Mary’s Gone Crackers–This is the perfect cracker. Mary hit a home run! My fave is original, but there are others like herb.
• Quinoa–any brand anywhere, anytime get some!! It’s the best. It’s great when used as rice. My doctor also told me that Quinoa is great in the morning with cinnamon and sugar with fruit. Let me tell ya it is!
