Visual Confirmation- Betty Crocker Gluten-Free mixes at the Bedford Kroger

Out of curiosity, I went and looked at my neighborhood Kroger at Central and Harwood in Bedford and they did, indeed, carry the Betty Crocker Gluten-Free mixes. They were in with the rest of the Betty Crocker products on the baking aisle, not in the special natural foods area.

Tested two more of the Betty Crocker mixes

This weekend, I tried out the Betty Crocker gluten-free chocolate chip cookie mix and the chocolate cake mix. They were both delicious and I fed them to people who can eat gluten for a true test. I brought them to a party and was hard-pressed to rescue a couple of the cookies to take with me.

Everyone there said they would eat them again!

Lemur Peanut Choco Drizzle Crispy Rice Bars are awesome!

Nature's Path generously sent me a sample pack of several cereals and treats to review. I have to say the Lemur bars rock my world. They're delicious and 120 calories each, so they fit the afternoon snack spot perfectly.

Nature's Path has a lot of on-the-go products and they make my favorite cereal in the world - Mesa Sunrise, which I know I've talked about before.

Plain yogurt is tasty?

Well, it can be good with a few add-ins. In my ever widening search for a before-bed snack that's GF, not too high calorie, somewhat healthy, satisfying and tasty, I've been eating plain Stonyfield Organic Low-Fat Yogurt and putting stuff in it.

I eat about a cup of it and I've been mixing in about a tablespoon of raw honey, which is supposed to have all kinds of happy things in it for your digestive system. I figure after the years of gluten-abuse, my digestive system needs all the help it can get. Between the cultures in the yogurt and the benefits of whatever is in the honey - I'm still not clear on how it's helpful, but it's delicious, I figure this is a good treat!

LSD does not contain gluten!

Um, OK, not that I do LSD, but I was surprised when a friend told me yesterday that he thought LSD was grown on rye bread mold. Turns out modern-day LSD is completely synthetic, but the chemical compound was discovered when a scientist was researching ergot.

Ergot was a mold that used to poison people famously in the middle ages when they would eat grain that had been stored too long. Some people think that ergot was responsible for egging on mob violence and other types of civil unrest.

So, just say no to ergot!
