Check out the new addition to the gluten free freezer items at Heinen’s!
We were having a pizza bagel craving so picked up a package of these lovely O’doughs and created our own for a Saturday afternoon treat!
AND THEN, share your comments/pics of your creations from your batch of bagels!
Gluten Free Watchdog, run by by Tricia Thompson, MS, RD, has issued an updated statement on the use of oats in a gluten free diet.
From the statement:
In the latter half of 2022, four labeled gluten-free oat products from three manufacturers commissioned for testing by Gluten Free Watchdog had gluten test results above 20 parts per million. Three of the four products were certified gluten-free at the time of testing. These results are unprecedented for GFWD.

Gluten Free Watchdog recommends that if you are going to eat oats on your gluten free diet to choose purity grown oats from her vetted list.
Thanks, Carolyn, for finding that Montana Gluten Free, one of the recommended companies, is offering a sampler of their products for $10 with free shipping.
Carolyn’s shipment included the products and recipes to try.
When I was last at Heinen’s the Cappello’s line of products included pizza and pastas. You will find their products in the frozen food section. If you find more items please let us know!
Our household sampled the cheese and the pepperoni pizza and the lasagna noodles.
The pizza was super tasty and the crust was crispy! We’ve tried numerous frozen pizza options and have found these to be some of the most acceptable for a quick home meal.
The lasagna noodles were totally extraordinary! We made a vegetarian lasagna as we were having non-meat eating guests for dinner. They loved the pasta and had no idea it was gf. Best of all unlike other lasagna noodles that we need to par-cook or pre-cook these are used as is right out of the box.
Let us know what you find, share ideas on what you make!
Over the past month we’ve tried all the items in RP’s pasta line and found them all to be amazing!
You will find them in the cooler with the cheeses, sauces and fresh pastas!
We used the tortellini served up in our bowls from a pot of chicken vegetable soup. I would not add the pasta to the soup directly since it will overcook. Because these pastas are not dried or frozen they cook up quickly, – under 5 minutes. Cook the pasta, add it to your bowl, top with your soup or sauce.
We tried the pastas with traditional pesto and artichoke lemon pesto both were perfect.
These items found recently on the shelf at Heinen’s! Organic and Gluten free!
Look for the labels on the upper left corner of the box.
The frosted flakes are a bit too sweet for my taste but mixing the frosted corn flakes with the unfrosted corn flakes – 1:1 – was the perfect combination.
If you give them a try let us know what you like best or what does not work.
