V8 Fusion is a lazy way to be healthy


V8 has several flavors of their fusion drinks on the market.  All are gluten free.  Each 8 oz serving is 100 calories and contains a full serving of vegetables and a full serving of fruit. There is no added sugar or high fructose corn syrup and this drink is delicious.

I'm working on improving my GF diet to include more fruits and whole grains and I think this fits in nicely. If you look around, you can sometimes find deals on them at places like Sam's Club.  The cheapest we've found is two for $5.

Amy's has a great, gluten-free baked ziti

I tried this for lunch today, it was very scrumptious.  I was curious how the peas would work out, but they were delightful.  Check out more of their products on the Amy's Kitchen website.

Chick-fil-a has gluten info too


I promise this is not going to turn into a site all about fast food.  But in my search for on-the-go gluten-free and healthy food, I also turned up this gem on the Chick-fil-a website.  Can you imagine?  There's actually a tab for "Gluten Info."  Thank you Chick-fil-a.

Wendys.com - a great resource

I was looking up nutritional info on Wendys.com since I'm always on the lookout for gluten-free food I can get on the road and I was pleasantly surprised to find that they have both the calories and ingredients for every item on their menu in a cool interactive format.  
By the way, chocolate and vanilla frosties are totally gluten free!

Crunchmaster multi-grain crackers are fantastic!


Although I love Mary's Gone Crackers, sometimes they can be a bit too much.  A friend surprised me by bringing Crunchmaster's multi-grain crackers to a party.  They combine the whole grains that Mary's uses and embed them in a matrix of less-dense rice cracker.  This made a very satisfying and tasty cracker that was great with cheese and veggies.  From the website, it looks like they come in a variety of flavors.  These are definitely worth checking out.

Blackbird Bakery looks promising

There is a new gluten-free gourmet in the baking world.  I am very intrigued by the images on the site, which are gorgeous, but I wish there were a physical location for this Texas-based bakery. I'd rather not order frozen food.  Even so, I'm tempted to try some of these goodies!  Check out the site here.
