Froose Gluten-Free Beverages and Gummy Snacks
In case you missed the hullaballoo in NFCA’s October 2011 newsletter, there’s a bigger and better Kids Central now available at www.CeliacCentral.org/kids. The online hub now has a Kids Page and a Parents Page, with oodles of recipes, articles and tips for gluten-free families. (Trust me, I posted it all!) While I was developing Kids [...]
Marvelous Foods
[Whenever I add a name to our list of Gluten-Free Bloggers, I always invite the blogger to share a gluten-free recipe or a product review for NFCA's blogs. Jenny of Gluten-Free Birmingham took me up on the offer and sent me her latest review. If you ask me, her photos really make the case!] We [...]
G-Free Connect: August Care Pack Now Available
You may have read about GFree Connect in NFCA’s July e-newsletter, but in the spirit of back-to-school season, I’m giving them another shout out. The company ships quarterly care packages filled with gluten-free samples and coupons, from nutrition drinks to crackers. Their August 2011 package was just unveiled and is now ready for shipment. As [...]
Falafel Republic Gluten-Free Falafel
Where I live, Thai, Indian and Mexican food is never far out of reach. But falafel, a Middle Eastern specialty, still seems to be an exotic, hard-to-come-by dish. In case you’re not familiar, falafel is typically made from ground or mashed chickpeas and spices. The mixture is rolled into a ball and lightly fried, then [...]

Kim & Scott’s Gluten-Free Gourmet Pretzels
I grew up in New York and now live in Philly, two places known for their soft pretzels. Unfortunately, gluten-free soft pretzels aren’t as abundant as their crunchy counterparts. And when you’re hungering for a doughy, mustard-covered twist, even the best gluten-free pretzel sticks won’t cut it. Kim & Scott’s, a traditional soft pretzel maker, [...]
Blue Diamond Baked Nut Chips
After National Products Expo West in March, our staff at the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness had an influx of gluten-free samples to try. Among those were Blue Diamond’s Baked Nut Chips, a gluten-free item now sold at natural food stores and major grocery chains. Like many of you, I’ve snacked on plenty of Blue [...]
Brad’s Raw Chips
The sample stations get me every time. Whether I’m at Whole Foods or Trader Joe’s, I can’t help but crane my neck when I see shoppers gathered around for tastings. When you’re gluten-free, pawing at a communal bowl isn’t a smart idea, but fortunately, many sample stations now serve their bites in individual cups or [...]
Crunchmaster’s 7 Ancient Grains Crackers
When Crunchmaster announced it would debut a new line of gluten-free crackers at Expo West, Alice and the rest of NFCA’s Gluten-Free Industry team was already en route. “Alert, alert! New Crunchmaster crackers. Must try!” I texted to our Vice President Jennifer North. Fortunately, Jim Garsow from Crunchmaster was part of our gluten-free panel presentation, [...]
