I was traveling and stopped at Wegman’s Grocery. Wegman’s is often named the #1 grocery in the U.S.
I found two good gluten free products.

Schar Gluten Free Croissants 7.8 oz with four croissants. These come frozen and are easily warmed up after defrosting for one hour. They are small and more of a roll you would eat along side your meal. They tasted really good and I would highly recommend them. It was a treat to eat a croissant with butter. They do not have the layers of a regular croissant but are delicious.

geefree Puff Pastry Sheets are a real treat after not having anything made with puff pastry in over 8 years. The sheets of puff pastry are a different color and size from the regular sheets. The regular sheets are large squares and these geefree gluten free Puff Pastry Sheets are large rectangles. It takes longer than instructed to defrost them. I think they do best in recipes where you don’t overlap sheets like in a crust. You can also roll the sheets out thinner and I found that a little difficult.
When I did roll the sheets a little thinner and cooked them long enough I could see the individual layers of the pastry. When done right they are a real treat.

Easy to Prepare Gluten Free Pumpkin Bread Mix by King Arthur is very good.
The preparation is very easy.
I did do one variation and whipped the egg whites instead of just adding them as directed.   I think I may do this with all mixes I try because it makes the finished product lighter.  The problem with a lot of gluten free baked goods is that they are so heavy and dense.
I was surprised to see the phrase, a good source of fiber, on the package but it does contain pumpkin.  If you add nuts, or raisins, or chopped dates you’ll increase the fiber and nutrition content!
