A little shout-out

This morning I got to take the kiddo to his class.  A Mom of one of his classmates told me about how careful her daughter told her to be when selecting Valentine candy for our kiddo.  This parent has a husband who is in the medical field, and even did some research on his own to make sure what they sent to school would be ok for our special guy.  I am just amazed at the thoughtfulness we've received from classmates, teammates, and daycare buddies.  I would be remiss not to mention the awesome teachers at school and daycare that watch out for him, too.  We are so very blessed.  Thank you!

Some GF Favorites

I participated in a survey for one company that offers GF products.  I  provided them with my blogsite, even though there really isn't much here.  But, I thought I'd fill you in on some of the products that I have found to be not only GF, but delicious.

I need to insert another explanation here - I DON'T cook.  At least not a lot.  I can, and have, and will, but when it comes down to it, I prefer not to.  I have very limited time at home and with my family, and I prefer to play Legos to standing in the kitchen.  Yes, I pay triple what I used to for groceries, but again - for the time I have away from the stove it is completely worth it.

Here goes:

Bread:
Udi's - all the way.  It tastes just like regular bread.  The consistency is the same, and it is delicious.  Yes, it is one of the breads that is very expensive, but believe me, to those of us suffering from Gluten Intolerance, worth every penny.

Pretzels and snack items:
Glutino
Pirate's Booty

Mac and Cheese
Glutino's frozen mac and cheese
Annie's from the box/stove mix

Cookies
Anything from Pamela!

Donuts
Kinnikinnick - vanilla glazed are our fav

Muffins and bagels
Udi's - 

Cereals
Chex Honey Nut
Cinnamon Rice Chex
Fruity Pebbles
Chocolate Pebbles

 Pasta -
I have actually figured out that I prefer Rice pasta to regular pasta.  I've tried Quonia several times and it works well, too.  But for taste, rice is my choice. 

Please, please, please feel free to help me add to this list.  I still feel really new to this GF life, and am learning as I go. 

I did fry some chicken the other day - and I used Millet and Tapioca flours.  I couldn't taste any difference and neither could my family. 

Hope you all are having a great weekend.
