Gluten Free Sweets

I am always getting new information and websites emailed to me to share on this website. I was excited to hear about Roh & Jo's Gluten Free Sweets, Inc. What a great resource for people on a gluten-free diet. I do not bake and I am always looking for a shortcut when it comes to cookies, pies and cakes. My birthday is not until January, but I plan on contacting Roh & Jo for my birthday cake! Anyone tried their sweets? Let us know what you think! www.glutenfreesweets.com

Superfood Quinoa is Gluten- Free!

Who needs wheat, barley and rye when you can have quinoa! (pronounced KEEN-wah)
Quinoa is a true wonder food," says Daniel Fairbanks, Ph.D., a professor of plant and animal science at Brigham Young University. "It has about twice the protein of regular cereal grains, fewer carbohydrates, and even a dose of healthy fats." Plus, it's considered a "complete" protein, which means that, like meat, eggs, and dairy, it packs all of the essential amino acids your body needs to build muscle. It is yummy and good for you.

Plocky's Gluten Free Hummus Chips

To my surprise, I found yummy gluten free hummus chips in a gift shop at a waterpark in Lake Geneva, Wisconsin! Ironically, these chips are distributed by Plocky's Fine Snacks NatureStar Foods Inc, in Hinsdale Illinois. Why haven't I seen these before? I tried the Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Chips. They are a nice alternative to corn and rice chips. There are no trans fat, gluten free and certified kosher. Go to http://www.plockys.com/ for more information.

Response from Plocky's:
Lori -
Thank you for your interest in Plocky's Fine Snacks, and for the wonderful comment on the site! Plocky's Hummus Chips are randomly tested by our certified lab. We use an ELISA Gluten Assay test to determine if they are gluten free. They are not made in a dedicated gluten-free facility. We appreciate you taking the time to inquire about our product.

Yummy GF Cashew Crunch!

I recently had a Gluten Free Whole Food Supplement (JuicePLUS) booth at a health and wellness fair in Frankfort, IL. The organizers provided lunch for the vendors and I was able to request a gluten-free lunch. I was given a great salad, an apple and a small snack size bag of Mrs. May's Cashew Crunch. It was so yummy! On the package it states: no cholesterol, gluten free, dairy free, vegan, wheat free and no preservatives. The Celiac Sprue Association even has their logo on the package. I was curious to find out where I could purchase this delightful snack and found out that Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, Costco and even Walgreens carry them. For more info visit http://www.mrsmays.com/.
