Gluten-Free Pasta and Nougat from LucaSanti Foods
Corn flour and water. Those are the only ingredients in Nonna Grazia pasta. The gluten-free pasta line includes everything from Spaghetti to Elbows to Baby Shells, all produced in a gluten-free facility and imported by LucaSanti Foods. I was a bit skeptical when I poured a few cups of Rigatoni into a pot of boiling [...]
Amy’s New Gluten-Free Sandwich Rounds
Since I’m a huge fan of Amy’s Kitchen I was very excited to receive samples of their newest product, Organic Sandwich Rounds. In addition to being gluten-free Amy’s new sandwich rounds are also soy and dairy-free. Though Amy’s Organic Sandwich rounds are thin they are surprisingly sturdy and versatile. They arrived frozen and can be [...]
Alternative Appetites: New Cooking Video for Thanksgiving
By this time, you’ve probably seen at least 27 different ways to make gluten-free Thanksgiving stuffing. Even the New York Times shared celiac-friendly versions on their Well blog. For the majority of these sides, the focus is on using nutritious ingredients like quinoa, brown rice, apples and squash. Now, I’m game for trying these new [...]
Izzi B’s Allergen-Free Cupcakes
No one likes to be left out, but special dietary needs can make that a challenge. Gluten-free cookies made with almond flour? Not for the nut-free kid. Pudding cups for the class? Not if someone’s dairy-free. That’s the impetus behind Izzi B’s Allergen-Free Cupcakes. The cupcakes are free of wheat, soy, eggs, gluten, dairy, nuts, [...]
Briannas Fine Salad Dressings
Store bought salad dressing often falls into one of three categories: 1) Too gloppy, 2) Too oily, or 3) Not gluten-free. Briannas Fine Salad Dressings can defy those conventions. We recently received an assortment of bottles from Briannas, and in addition to being surprised to find such a wide array of flavors, I was also [...]
Food Should Taste Good: Jalapeno With Cheddar Update
I’m a huge fan of Food Should Taste Good chips. But then that is probably obvious from my previous reviews of their products (you can check those out here and here). So when I discovered new flavors of Food Should Taste Good chips setting on the grocery store shelf I was pleasantly surprised. The new [...]
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. The last can result in mixed messaging: “Nuts are safe! … Except when they’re not.” Playing it safe means opting for raw or unseasoned nuts. While very healthy, that also can get boring. Enter Sahale [...]
Health is Wealth Gluten-Free Mozzarella Sticks
[When I saw this review from Gwinnett Gluten-Free Food Examiner Jennifer Harris, I had to share it with the community. Jennifer gave me the green light to repost it here on NFCA's Gluten-Free Hot Products blog. While I haven't tried these gluten-free mozzarella sticks myself, they sound like a treat worth picking up for the [...]
