Gorge Delights – Gluten Free Treats
Gorge Delights Just Fruit bars were a pleasant surprise to my taste buds after testing so many bars over the previous weeks. The bars, one for one, had the flavor of pure, bursting ripe fruit energy and nothing else. I then read the ingredients list, and confirming my hunch, I found the bars are 100% […]

Beanitos Bean Chips
Beanitos is the first corn-free, potato-free chip that we’ve tasted yet. We weren’t sure what to expect out of the two flavors at hand, Black Bean Chips and Pinto Bean and Flax Chips, but they were really good. The Beanitos are light in texture, like a thin potato chip, and have a light grainy yet […]

We had Cereal Vit’s Organic Corn Flakes, Organic Benevit Multi Grain Flakes, Organic Coffee Flakes (yes, coffee), and their just-released Choco Stars (yes, chocolate).

Tina’s Use of the GF Bistro Pizza Crust
I have been known to not be one to follow directions so this is my version of the GF Bistro Pizza Crust which suited the testers quite well. We did try out the instructions included yet we feel the recipe turned out a slight bit better in the “crust department” when we made s light […]
Cook-in-the-Kitchen
Cook-in-the-Kitchen has 4 gluten-free soups which we tested and really enjoyed. We did add a few touches, more in the area of protein and an occasional chopped fresh vegetable, but it was not a necessity to add anything to their full flavor soups. We used their Welsh Potato soup as a base for our Clam […]
Andean Dream- ONLY Gluten Free
Andean Dream’s Organic Quinoa-Rice Pasta cooks and tastes more like the “real” pasta I was used to eating before being diagnosed with celiac disease. I had seven people test the pasta with me. We all agreed. We introduced the pasta to those not on a GF diet, and they couldn’t tell it was GF pasta—that’s […]

Peanut Shells on the Floor No More
I was reading about Outback Steakhouse and their gluten-free menu the other day when my mind wandered back to my days as a stock analyst. In particular, I was thinking about the early 1990’s when I was a restaurant analyst. There was a “steakhouse boom” where chains such as Outback, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Lone […]
RC Fine Foods- Gluten-Free Thickener is Amazing!
Tina, I am convinced this gluten-free thickener can be used in many ways just as Chef Torado states. I know he used it for orange “souffle” which is amazing, by the way. For one product to be versatile enough to make that recipe as well as my soups, well this is quite a product! I […]

Product Company Review: Custom Choice Cereal
I’m sitting here with three gluten-free custom cereals, each one blended to my specifications, even down to the name. Custom Choice Cereal is really an innovative idea to help those on the gluten-free diet. The company allows anyone to choose a base for their mix, then choose out 1-11 out of 13 “ingredients,” then (get […]
Food Allergies – Response to “Times” Article
By Paul Antico, AllergyEats.com: Generally, I use the AllergyEats Blog solely to talk about food allergy and intolerance issues related to restaurants. However, the issue I bring up today is relevant in that it calls into question the prevalence of food allergies, which can have a direct effect on how seriously your waiter takes you […]

How much are we worth? – The “Veto Vote”
By Paul Antico, AllergyEats.com: In a prior blog entry entitled “USA Today survey suggests food allergy sufferers find socializing tricky,” I suggested that restaurateurs would cater more and more to the food allergy and Celiac Disease community due to simple economics and the natural profit motive. So I thought it might be worthwhile to use my […]

Glad Corn Review
4 flavors of Glad Corn, which I’d never heard of before. We had some spare time, and since I was especially curious, I thought we’d start the taste test right away. The 12-oz. bags come in original, jalapeno, BBQ, and gourmet cheddar. We started on the original. The corn tastes like a light and better-tasting […]
