Red Robin Shout Out

I had a great meal at Red Robin in Gurnee Illinois yesterday.  They provided me with gluten free fries made in a dedicated fryer, my turkey burger came out in a special yellow basket, and it even had a gluten free bun!  I was so excited, if you ask its unlimited fries too, had to enjoy it, I rarely eat fries.

Make sure to give them a try, it is a bit of  noisy atmosphere, so great place for kids, and I did see other yellow baskets, so very popular.

Here is a link to the menu, every location may be different.

Riega Foods Review

Thanks to the kind people at Riega Foods I was able to sample some of their great food.


From their website

A passion for food and a dedication to our customer's satisfaction.  That is Riega Foods.  Our products focus on dietary health with a special emphasis on gastro-intestinal health as manifested with gluten intolerance, diabetes and a fiber deficient diet.



They have a variety of cheese packs so you can make your own mac and cheese, yeah!  We like the white cheddar and the flavor was good, I really enjoyed it, these are great to take along for trips too.  I added some broccoli and had a meal.

There are four different flavors to try, I prefer the cheddar.




They also make three different crispbreads which are dairy, GMO, and gluten free.  They suggest trying them with your favorite meat or cheeses.

I liked the chestnut flavor the best, and tried it with almond butter, a great midday snack.

They also carry buckwheat and quiona, these are 100 percent natural



I did see the cheese packets at my local grocery store

Here is the website to check more details and to find these near you

Enjoy!

Makes Its Own Crust

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Pie

SERVES 6 TO 8
This quick, easy recipe doesn’t need a crust. The flour settles to the bottom, forming a natural crust. It can be made two days ahead and stored in the refrigerator.
1 (15-ounce) can pumpkin purée
¾ cup milk or dairy-free vanilla-flavor milk of choice
¾ cup cream or dairy-free liquid vanilla creamer
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons gluten-free vanilla extract
4 tablespoons bourbon (use only if using
    egg replacer)
½ cup Jules’ Flour Blend or gluten-free all-purpose flour blend of choice*
¼ cup buckwheat flour
½ cup brown sugar, packed
¼ cup granulated cane sugar
1 tablespoon Ener-G Egg Replacer powder, not reconstituted (or use 2 whole large eggs and
    no bourbon)
2 teaspoons gluten-free baking powder
½ teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice (or ¾ teaspoon ground nutmeg + ¼ teaspoon ground cloves)
1. Preheat oven to 450ºF. Butter or spray with cooking oil a 10-inch pie plate and one ramekin.
2. Mix together all liquid ingredients in one bowl and whisk together the dry ingredients in another. Slowly pour the dry ingredients into the liquid bowl while stirring. Beat until totally combined.
3. Pour batter into prepared pie plate, leaving at least ¼ inch between the batter and the rim of the pie plate. Pour any remaining batter into prepared ramekin(s). Smooth the top of the pie with a rubber spatula.
4. Place pie in preheated over and bake for 15 minutes. Then reduce heat to 375ºF and bake for 30 more minutes or until a knife inserted into the pie comes out clean.
