Ian's Chicken Nuggets

Every kid's favorite: Chicken Nuggets! I came across the Ian's line and noticed they have a great selection of allergen-free foods for kids. From Alpha Tots to Corn Dogs, these items are gluten, dairy, egg and soy free! When I went to Whole Foods, I was looking forward to getting the gluten-free French toast sticks but they were out, and the only other allergen-free item available was the Chicken Nuggets. Jacob loves these, and I'm hoping I'll be able to find some of the other items at Henry's. Enjoy!

Bread Physics Sandwich Bread

On my first trip to Whole Foods, I seemed to totally miss the gluten free bread section. I still have no idea how I did that. Haha. When I got home, I began to research bread options, and I stumbled upon a website called Muffin Physics/Bread Physics. They are even based in San Diego which made me quite happy because I like to support local businesses as much as I can.

When I returned to Whole Foods, I was pleaaed to say they had quite a few options for gluten-free bread, but since I first read about Bread Physics I decided to bring that loaf home first. As with all the breads, they were packed frozen. The package recommended to warm the bread in the microwave for a minute or so. I actually really liked the taste and texture of the bread, and Jacob enjoyed it too.

So far this product is only available in Southern California, but when I first e-mailed the company, I mentioned I couldn't find it in the stores and the owner apologized and offered to send me a loaf for the inconvenience. Great tasting bread and customer service? A++ to you, Muffin Physics!

DeBoles Penne Rice Pasta

All kiddos love spaghetti right? Too bad most pasta noodles are made out of wheat! Tonight I tried DeBoles Penne Rice Pasta, and I must say it's pretty good. It also cooks a bit faster than the average pasta (about 5-7 minutes). I tossed the rice pasta with some ground beef and tomato sauce, and it made a simple meal. I will most likely throw in some veggies next time. DeBoles, you get two thumbs up! They also offer a lot of other gluten-free options, like quinoa, amaranth and corn.
