Food Company Review: simplyrice™

Simplyrice™ rice crisps are gluten-free snacks with a kick. Each flavor is really a taste to be experienced. I love organic brown jasmine rice and this is the base for simply rice crackers. They have only four ingredients and all are 100% organic, according to the company: brown jasmine rice, sunflower oil, sea salt, and […]

Gorge Delights – Gluten Free Treats

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 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 […]

Kaia Foods

Kaia Foods

Hearty, nutritious, earthy, and unique are words I’d use to describe all of Kaia Foods’ products. Kaia (rhymes with “papaya”) is from the Sanskrit word for “body,” kaya, yet the owners spelled it like Gaia, for the Greek goddess of the earth. Hence, body and earth come together to depict the essence of Kaia Foods. […]

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- 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 […]

I need to start out by letting you know that what I share with you in this review may just change your life! The subject at hand is cookies. Yes, cookies. Those delectable little (or large) morsels of “yum.” When it comes to gluten-free cookies, we celiacs tend to compromise and like our newfound cookies. […]
