Portable Gluten-Free Soy Sauce Containers
posted on March 2, 2010 by
While there are several gluten-free soy sauces on the market, the biggest frustration (at least for me) is portability! The last time I carried a bottle of my favorite gluten-free soy sauce (San-J Organic Wheat-Free Reduced-Sodium Tamari) in my purse, I was the lucky sucker who had the bottle leak everywhere! Besides, it isn’t exactly […]

T. Marzetti Veggie Dip Recall
posted on March 2, 2010 by
Kim from Gluten-Free Is Life just published a recall notice for T. Marzetti Veggie Dips on the Columbus Gluten-Free Examiner website. You can read more about the recall here. I highly recommend subscribing to Kim’s blog and Examiner posts. Kim is what I like to call the “Gluten-Free CNN,” as she is always on top […]
Gluten-Free “Dude Food” (a.k.a. Concession Stand Nachos)
posted on March 1, 2010 by
I realize that the Super Bowl is long gone by now, but gluten-free “dude food” is always in demand since apparently there is a game of “something” on every single day of the year (I actually caught my husband watching Ping Pong the other day). Sports are a way of life around here… so much […]
Gluten-Free Pancakes on a Stick
posted on February 28, 2010 by
I think I have seriously gone over the edge with this one! A friend of mine casually mentioned to me a few weeks ago that her daughter likes to eat “Pancakes on a Stick” for breakfast. I had no idea what they were, but of course I found myself with a new gluten-free challenge! 😀 […]
Gluten-Free “Lunchables”
posted on February 26, 2010 by
I’ve succumbed to the almighty Lunchables. I STRONGLY dislike those things, and not necessarily because they are one of the most unhealthy “foods” marketed to children, but because my son feels like an “oddball” because he cannot have one! I love GoPicnic’s Gluten-Free Ready-Eat-Meals (and so does Sam), but he recently confided in me that […]
Gluten-Free “Boxed” Mac and Cheese
posted on February 25, 2010 by
Okay, so it’s not really “Boxed” Mac and Cheese but “Bagged” Mac and Cheese just sounds weird! 😀 I have been making my own “Kraft-like” GF Mac and Cheese for a long time now, mostly because I do not care for the texture of the pasta in the GF store-bought Mac and Cheese. The other […]
Gluten-Free Chex Mix
posted on February 24, 2010 by
I realize this is probably a no-brainer, but it actually just dawned on me not too long ago when Sam needed some Chex Mix for his “Friday Fun Snack,” that I could make my own gluten-free version! So just in case it has not occurred to someone else, I thought I would post the recipe […]
