Popcorners, You Had Me @ Hello Jalapeno! Gluten-Free Product Review

Pop Corners are a hit! Just when you thought the chip category and/or pop corn category couldn't innovate.  Utilizing non-GMO verified corn with a corn/chip and addicting flavor profile that will make your eyes roll :) Too good in fact to keep around if you lack will power like I do sometimes. haha.

Chef Damian J Cardone calls Gluten Free Diners Idiots

This Colorado chef Damian Cardone, who people have trusted to cook food for with allergies, sensitivities, etc posts on his Facebook that he has purposely poisoned innocent gluten free patrons with gluten pasta after they requested a gluten free meal.

Perhaps, the most disturbing chef related story ever reported to date that I am aware of. Imagine yourself, going to a restaurant and trusting them with your life, only to find out that the chef doesn't believe you actually have an allergy and could poison you, at worst kill you!!!

I must admit this hurts the Gluten Free Community immediately. How can we trust certain companies, manufacturers and chefs when this comes out to the public. It's important though, that all trust is NOT lost because we know there are so many great companies, small and large,  who do care, unlike Damian Cardone. But please, be wary, more careful than ever before. 

This news has it the gluten free community turned UP SIDE DOWN and this will not be the last of the repercussions around what is in store for this uneducated, inconsiderate, ruthless individual who may have an illness of his own.  We can only hope that someone can find him, speak with him and understand why he has hate, distrust and malicious behavior wrapped up in his life.

Our community leaders asks that you re-post, re-tweet and report Damien Cardone's story to your local bloggers, restaurant owners and of course any TV news providers as soon as possible to help us put a stop to this man's efforts to poison innocent people and have him never work again in the food, beverage and hospitality industries.

Here is a link to view the Facebook post and see it for yourself. I also have many screen shots of the post, his page and his info.

Getting To Know Breeze Bars Gluten-Free Product Review

The best way to enjoy an energy bar is after a workout, for me it was just over a  5k outdoor run. You know the feeling, you just ran your butt off, your'e feeling good overall in the muscles, after drinking some water you're body is feeling light, fit and pulsates from pushing your limits.  After some solid stretching and cooling down though your body needs nourishment to level off.

Why Eat Bread ...

...When you can substitute everything for cabbage!

Do not laugh, I am being serious. Bread, although tasty and deserving at times, is not something you should incorporate into your diet everyday due to high level of unwanted carbs, low fiber, iron and dirty words like "enriched."

My plea and cry for you is to consider substituting bread for lettuce and/or cabbage. Take two leaves for deli, cottage cheese, chicken, eggplant, salmon or even Nutella and peanut butter and jelly.  My fav cut up some triangles for enjoyable dips and spreads like sour cream and chives, hummus, peri peri chilli. Who needs bread?

Cabbage is one of the richest veges in terms of protective vitamins. Yes. raw cabbage cleans the waste from the stomach/upper bowels improving digestion and reduces constipation that's a good thing so don't be scared of the toilet. Known to be a cancer inhibitor, stimulates the immune system, kills harmful bacteria, soothes ulcers, and improves circulation. Outer leaves are a good source of vitamin E, making it good for the SKIN complexion. Also rich in vitamin C (raw white cabbage contains as much vitamin C as lemons) and sulphur. Yes all this for only 24 calories per 3.5 ounces.  Go, eat it up!

Now you know, there are alternatives to breads...
