Gluten Free Watchdog Video

Tricia Thompson of Gluten Free Watchdog has posted a video summarizing her experience with testing foods for gluten over the last 16 years.

Good news: most foods tested ok. for those following a gluten free diet. The video includes a discussion of problematic foods and how to interpret ppm (parts per million) when choosing what to eat.

It’s a great review in just 30 minutes.

You can view the video on her website, with additional discussion, or here:

Life Cuisine Cauliflower Crust Pizza

I highly recommend this personal sized frozen pizza.

There’s the fun factor: Place the frozen pizza on the box turned inside out and 3 1/2 minutes of microwave magic produces gooey cheesy goodness.

Sure the crust could be crisper. Might be worth trying the alternate oven baking instructions. I chose to embrace the soft bready texture and folded the pizza, eating it as a sandwich.

The sauce has a pleasantly strong tomato flavor. The cheese is mild. And the cauliflower provided minimal vegetable essence to the crust.

The Life Cuisine line has frozen entrees for different diets. The only gluten free choices are the pizzas – three cheese or pepperoni.

I’ve seen these pizzas at Giant Eagle and Walmart.

100% gluten free facility.

Beautiful looking treats.

Taste even better than they look.

The rainbow variety of macarons each has a distinct flavor. They are crisp with a bit of a chew. Packaged for presentation.

The cinnamon roll had outstanding texture. Hard to believe it is gluten free.

They also sell a variety of other baked goods including cookies, cupcakes, bagels and rolls. Cakes are made to order.

Definitely worth a trip.
