Found it! The Most Delicious GF Bread! Gluten-Free Product Review

Home bakers are the best gluten-free chefs, IMHO :) 

Here in Colorado we have so many beautiful rainbows and I just found what's at the end... It feels surreal to have incredibly tasting gluten-free breads like banana, cinnamon, sweet potato and blueberry back in my life from home baker, Chelsea Willis. Completely allergy friendly and not just gluten-free.... There's no corn, dairy, soy, refined sugar or nuts baked in Chelsea's (aka GF Gal) breads all from a designated gf Denver kitchen facility.

Udis... My First Denver Bagel! Gluten-Free Product Review

Udi's Gluten-Free, a local Denver bakery that offers something special for the gluten-free lifestylist. I have been craving bagels for years and wasn't able to find one that can be toasted, have a crust and hold together.  And then I found it in Denver when Udis sent me bagels, breads and muffins to sample.

After moving to Denver I voyaged through Denver's Whole Foods Cherry Creek and they host a slew of local Boulder, Colorado items. Fiona's All Natural Quinoa Crunch is a hearty baked delicious option for breakfast.

1,2,3,4 ... Two Moms In the Raw Gluten-Free Product Review

http://www.soulsprout.com/
A great name for a greater product, Two Moms In The Raw.

 Super duper tasting Gluten-Free granola is not easy to find and often you will see that that the oats are not GF or that you can't trust the manufacturing facilities to be sure the ingredients are indeed safe and secure. It's the continual saga of our era.

GF Pizza That Is Not GF?


I love pizza... It is a treat for me... It smells, looks and tastes beautifully! Am I drooling? But I have horrible news for you, my gluten-free friends... just because the pizza ingredients are touted as gluten-free that does not mean when it arrives on your plate @ your table it still is.

Why you ask? Well a lot of restaurants are supporting the gluten-free movement and we love this, but when you are a Celiac you need to ask more questions about the kitchen preparations that they won't always tell you upfront. Often the question you should ask to your waiter and/or manager on duty should be:

Questions:

  • Do you use the same pizza tray or stone?
  • Does the chef change his apron?
  • Does the chefs or line use separate ingredients for all pizza?
  • Do you bake your pizza in the same oven as regular pizza? 


Unfortunately this may be the case ... your GF food may be contaminated with traces or more of gluten more often than not so please be wise and ask this question when you hear about your pizza and also dishes of rice, pasta, other baked, grilled or fried gf options! Tell them how important it is that you separate GF so places stop touting food as gluten-free lifestyle half ass and more strictly following 100% gluten-free for those who are medically diagnosed as Celiacs! It is confusing all of us and getting many Celiacs ill without knowing. For all of you who are eating gluten-free lifestyle start taking it more seriously and help the rest of us by demanding 100% gf because of this issue.
