California Pizza Kitchen Gluten Free Pizza
I finally got to try this tonight, thanks to them recently adding gluten free pizza's to the menu! I decided to get the White Cheese Pizza with tomatoes, there was so many to choose from. There are a few they cannot do gluten free like the Thai Chicken. I was not charged extra for the gluten free crust, excellent bonus!
It was very tasty, I almost ate the whole thing, loved the four white cheeses, and the whole tomatoe slices. The crust was done just the way I like it, a bit crispy on the edges, but that is what I like, it has been a while since I had a pizza with crispy crust instead of soggy and falling apart, cant wait to go back some day to try another kind.
Go to this link for one near you and to sign up for coupons, I had a 5 off a 15 dollar offer, great deal!
(sorry about the bite out of the pizza, i almost forgot to take a photo, and couldnt help myself,lol)

El's Gluten Free All Natural Zesty Medley Mix and Bagel Snaps
Thanks to http://www.elskitchen.com/ for sending me these samples.
I opened the bagel chips snaps first, I miss my bagel chips, these were tasty, have a little zing to them, great with some dipping sauce or salsa.
Next I tried a Zesty Mix Medley, yummy! I can't seem to put this bag down, I could eat the whole bag in one sitting. It reminds me of chex mix, but more delicious with a great spice to it. Includes pretzels, corn nuts, potato chips,and corn chips. These would be great to put in a dish for a party too(if your willing to share), or for camping or travel. And good for you too.
Don't sacrifice flavor for health. Enjoy delicious gluten-free snacks
that have a whole lot of nothing except flavor:
Here is a list of places you can purchase these to try

The Original Pancake House
Yeah, got to try some gluten free pancakes here yesterday. I got the banana ones, very good, and plenty on the plate, even had left overs! It was nice to be able to go out to breakfast with the family. This was the Brookfield, WI location. Check your local one to see if they offer gluten free
