I was wandering the supermarket and came upon Post Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate flavored which was labeled gluten free.
Only the chocolate flavor is gluten free and the ingredients note “THIS PRODUCT USES GLUTEN FREE OATS”.
The cereal is tasty and not too sweet and has a crunchy texture even after sitting awhile in the milk. And chocolaty milk at the bottom of the bowl is irresistible.
Found this gluten free beer at Trader Joe’s. $1.17 + tax for a single bottle.
Ingrediants are water, sorghum, rice, hops and yeast. Brewed and bottled by Minhas Craft Brewery in Wisconsin. Seems to be a Trader Joe’s private label brand.
So what does it taste like? To my uneducated palate it tastes like beer.
This lager gets mixed reviews online. I saw a funny comment that a Trader Joe’s clerk had said that ngb stands for “not good beer”.
I enjoyed it. Especially at that price. I wouldn’t make a special trip, but I’d get it again when I’m next at Trader Joe’s.
Here’s one of my favorite finds at Marc’s: Mama Mary’s Gluten Free Pizza Crusts
The 2 pack sells for $2.73 and each 7″ crust has 220 calories. They are certified gluten free. Marc’s sells them in the aisle with the other pizza making supplies.
They are easy to make. Just brush the crusts with olive oil, add your favorite toppings and bake for 5 1/2 to 8 minutes.
I’m a traditionalist and use tomato sauce, mushrooms and whatever cheese I have handy. The crust is dense and chewy without the usual gluten free crumbs.
But I also bake the crusts and use them as flatbreads for sandwiches.
This tasty sandwich is turkey, lettuce, tomato and mango chutney.
Some of my gluten eating companions ask for these gluten free crusts and like them better than their gluten containing counterparts.
Just when you thought you’d seen everything!
Joan spotted Gluten Free Hungry Jack Funfetti Pancake Mix at Marc’s for $2.99:
I also saw the Gluten Free Funfetti Cake Mix and Funfetti Sugar Cookie Mix at Walmart.
Coors Peak is a new naturally gluten free and certified gluten free beer.
I’m not much of a beer drinker, so I had a gluten-free beer drinker try it. He reported: “Drinkers who love a great micro brew will be disappointed but, it is a fine alternative to a “regular” macro brew.”
Sadly for us, it is only available now in Oregon and Washington. Hope it travels east soon. Comment when you spot it here.
