If you, your child or a loved one has a gluten sensitivity or allergy, you are not sentenced to a life of deprivation of the finer (and tastier) things in life. Since discovering our youngest child's gluten sensitivity, our whole family has made the switch to eating a gluten free diet (for the most part anyway). As with anything in life, you tend to meet others on your journey that share similar circumstances, and in ours, we have met many families that have children with gluten sensitivities and allergies that are unable to find or lack access to good gf alternatives. The following is a list of products and companies that make really delicious GF foods that, most often, are tastier than their gluten containing counterparts. Many local grocers can special order these products, while amazon is also a great, and often lower priced, option. Here are some of our favorites:
Ancient Quinoa Brand - Quinoa noodles and spaghetti
Bio-Nature Brand (fron Italy) - Rice & Potato Noodles
Pamela's Brand - cake mixes, pancake mix (really good!), everything snack bars, cookies
Annies Brand - Gluten Free frozen pound cake, GF Vanilla & Chocolate bunnies , and ginger bunnies
Rice and Shine - GF hot rice cereal
Udi's Brand - frozen bagels, breads, rolls (hot dog / hamburger), granola and muffins
Bob"s Red Mill Brand - GF oatmeal
Garden of Eatin' Brand - corn chips
Pirate Booty Brand - Veggie Bootie
Glutino Brand - Pretzels and table crackers (really good!)
YaYa Brand - Popcorn
Sonoma Brand- GF soft tortillas
This is by no means an exhaustive list, but rather a start. I'll be adding to it as we find other good products. Happy Eating!
