Gluten Free Food Reviews

Oh my do I LOVE these! I picked up this hefty 32 ounce bag of Bob’s Red Mill gluten free rolled oats for a mere $5.99 at a local natural foods store when I was in Minnesota for my sister’s wedding back in December. I was thrilled that such large bag of gluten free oats was available since I adore my recipe for coconut pecan apple crisp and oatmeal cookies. This huge bag cost the same as my 17 ounce box of Lara’s gluten free oats in my pantry. I felt like I hit the lottery!

This is what the Bob’s red Mill site states about their gluten free oats:
Our Gluten Free Rolled Oats are pure. They are grown by over 200 farmers on clean, dedicated oat-growing fields. They plant only non-GMO “pedigreed” seed stock. Each farm delivery is sampled hundreds of times and tested with an R5 ELISA gluten test to ensure the absence of gluten. Advanced color-sorting removes undetected impurities. Roasting enhances that wholesome, robust flavor you expect. The oats are packaged in our new, 100% gluten free facility and tested for gluten again to ensure their purity. *Please be advised that a small percentage of people with celiac disease may not tolerate even the purest of oats. If you are unsure whether oats are suitable for your diet, please check first with your health advisor before eating them.

My family and I love these delicious oats and consumed them with no ill effects. The only problem I can find is that unless your local natural foods store carries them, they are difficult to find online to purchase- even the Bob’s Red Mill site is sold out!

Lucky for me- and you- my local natural foods store has started filling online orders, Click the link below if you want to purchase them ASAP. In the meantime, I will post new links when another site has them in stock.

with her comment:
This is difficult! I love the Second Nature Taco, Chili and burger mixes but my favorite product would have to be either maseca or tamari.

Currently we are watching a lot of Asian films, but I don’t have a ‘favorite’ movie.

Mare, please email me at glutenfreefoodreviews {at} gmail {dot} com with your mailing address. Good luck next month to all of you who did not win- the odds are great that next time it may be you! The next give-away will be announced April 1st.

Until then, tune in for some fun reviews for gluten free cooking and baking products.  I look forward to reading your opinions, too!

Baking and Cooking and Tasting . . . Oh My!

This month’s theme is gluten free baking and cooking basics- flours, seasonings, grains, spices, sweeteners . . . any gluten free food product or kitchen staple you need to whip up a yummy gluten free meal or dessert without the use of a quick mix. And, of course, the title of the theme comes from my daughter’s obsession with the Wizard of Oz. She has watched it no less than 12 times in the past three weeks, and as a result, the songs are stuck in my head all the time. Help!

Here is what’s up for grabs this month:

(1) box of Gluten Free Pantry’s Beth’s gluten free all purpose flour

(1) Cali Fine Foods Garlic Gusto Gourmet Seasoning packet (mild spice)

(1) Cali Fine Foods Spicy Fiesta Gourmet Seasoning packet ( medium spice)

(1) Cali Fine Foods Dill Delight Seasoning bag (mild spice)

The winner this month takes home all four of these gluten free food products!

The all purpose flour has become one of my favorites, and the seasonings are great for marinades, meats, dips, vegetables, pasta and rice. They are also dairy free, yeast free, all natural with vegan options, and contain no MSG.
