Dr Oz

I came across this tonight and thought it needed to be on my blog! It is a great explanation of what happens inside and the effects of Celiac disease. The website also has a ton of information on Celiac disease if you would like to look around! Enjoy! :)

A few products I love & a few to try....

 These are a few my go to pasta's. They are always more affordable and, to me, they taste similar to real pasta. There are a lot of different brands out there that are gummy, cook with a funny odor, and have a weird looking water when your done cooking it, but these two do a great job at minimizing these. In fact, the gummy part and odor is no more with these, in my opinion. Both brands make other types like penne, linguine, and elbow pasta's that are great too! 

Side note: The Ronzoni brand is usually with the other regular pasta's, not the natural food sections.


  Hands down, my favorite Gluten free bread. A little tip when your trying out gluten free breads though, always heat it in some way. If you expect to take a piece out and use it straight out of the bag, it's going to be super dry, and a little like card board. I always toast it or wrap in a paper towel and microwave it for 10-15 seconds before I use it. If I want a sandwich for lunch later that day, I toast it, let it cool, and then prepare the sandwich. It's not "toasted" by the time I eat it, but the steam and initial toasting really helps it taste good and like bread! This is also the kind I use at any holiday meal to make stuffing if you don't want to try the next product. (I'll post that recipe soon!)

This was awesome this year when my aunt made it for our family holiday dinner. I don't know the cost but it came from William Sonoma, so it may be a bit on the pricier side. That aside, it tasted fabulous!!!  Some even liked it better than the regular kind!

Now this one has become my absolute favorite brownie mix! Also from my aunt and fabulous! She got it from William Sonoma for $12.95, not too bad, but I just found it at Sprouts for $8.95 instead! Even better! If you have not tried it, please do! It wasn't gritty and it had a fudgy quality I have really missed in brownies. Cup 4 Cup has other products too that looked interesting, I just haven't tried them yet. Since this one is so good, I bet the others are pretty great too!

These next two pictures are also William Sonoma products that I just bought because I thought they looked yummy! I have not gotten a chance to try them but I'm excited to give them a go! (The cup cakes were on sale for only $2.97 a piece but usually they are $16.95 and the cookies were $19.95. So hopefully that means they will taste really good! Definatly not something I would buy a lot at those prices, but maybe they will be so good that the price won't matter! I'll let you know!) William Sonoma has some other gluten free items I'd like to explore and some REALLY yummy, but expensive, looking baked goods you can order if you want to try them. Please tell me if you do and what you think!

  Lastly, I came across this a few days ago and I'm so happy I did! This is a bundt cake shop that just started doing a gluten free mini bundt cake! I just had one and it was oh so yummy! I will defiantly go back!! Also, it was the same price as the regular mini's! Love it! It's not listed on the website but if you want to see some of the stuff they do or locations go Here.
