Healthy Gluten-Free Options for Halloween
Parents may have different concerns depending on their child’s dietary needs, but one thing they all fear is the onslaught of sugar on Halloween night. Gluten-free or not, Halloween candy yields little nutritional value, and having kids haul a pillowcase full of chocolate, taffies and bubblegum into the house is an invitation for overindulging. It [...]
RP’s Gluten-Free Pasta
I first discovered RP’s Gluten-Free Pasta at the Summer Fancy Food Show in Washington, DC, last July. I was winding down my hunt for gluten-free options when I saw a man standing quietly behind a cooktop with some pasta. I approached slowly until I was sure it was gluten-free. The fusilli was coated lightly in [...]
Sahale Snacks
When you first go gluten-free, there are certain hidden sources that tend to be overlooked. Soy sauce. Licorice. Seasoned nuts.

Gluten-Free Challah – Katz Bakery
Katz Gluten Free is a well-known and loved name in the world of gluten-free baked goods. Yet somehow I have not yet had the opportunity to review any of their many products. However a recent trip to the grocery store in search of a Rosh Hashanah themed product provided the perfect opportunity. This is when [...]
Food For All Market
[Almost one year ago, Nancy and I visited a new shop known as Food For All Market. It was quaint, adorable and packed with gluten-free and food allergy-friendly products. Since then, we've ordered their gluten-free cupcakes for birthday parties at the office, and the shop even hosted a few celiac support group meetings. Today, the [...]
