Gluten Free For Oreo Lovers

Ok Oreo fans, I have a wonderful cookie for you. It is gluten, dairy, and nut free!  My son and I sampled them last night, as you can tell he is a fan.  It tasted like an oreo, chocolate cookie with a vanilla filling, so if you are missing Oreos, these are for you.  Great for dunking too.

These are made by Kinikinnick, and are called KinniToos

There are several Celiac Camps across the country, offering celiac children everything from boating, canoeing, swimming, arts and crafts, low and high ropes challenge courses, adventure programming, field events, and team work.

mrs Crimbles gluten free bites and ricecakes

Mrs Crimbles makes a variety of crackers, cookies, and cheese bites.  I had the opportunity to try the rice cakes and the tomato, olive, and oregano cheese bites.

The company seems to be based in the UK, but they have a US Importer also in RI.

I really enjoyed the Apple flavored rice cakes, they have the perfect crunch, and a slight apple flavoring.  I put peanut butter on top and had a great snack.







Next I tried the Cheddar Bites, they are airy inside and have a great taste.  They kind of reminded me of a slight pizza flavoring.  My toddler enjoyed them also, and shared the bag with me.  I wish they would make them in a bigger bag as these would be good to crumble in soup or salads also.

Canyon Bakehouse Breads

Thanks to the good people at Canyon Bakehouse I got to sample their wonderful breads and muffins.

The breads are simply wonderful!  It was as if I wasn't eating gluten free bread, which is hard to find.  They are now one of my top favorite breads.  I really enjoyed the Mountain White for my sandwhiches, the Cinnamon Raisin for breakfast or a snack, and the hamburger buns for a meal.  I have been having a hard time finding gluten free hamburger buns.  The bread tasted so fresh, and didn't fall apart when eating.

The products are all natural, Dairy, Nut, Wheat, and Soy free.  They are also made in dedicated gluten free facility!  They offer San Juan 7-Grain gluten Free Bread, Cinnamon Raisin Gluten Free Bread, Mountain White Gluten Free Bread, Rosemary and Thyme Gluten Free Focaccia, Gluten Free Hamburger Buns, and Cranberry Crunch Gluten Free Muffins.  (These have poppy seeds, so you must be a fan to enjoy these)
