PF Changs China Bistro

This chain has an excellent GF Menu featuring many choices that you can’t get at any other Chinese restaurant. This is one of the few chains that has GF choices in every category – appetizers, soups, entrees, sides, and desserts – and even GF soy sauce. The sweet Philip’s Better Lemon Chicken and Chang’s Spicy [...]
Risotteria, New York City

This Gluten Free paradise was discovered by my son while at NYU last summer. He was so excited that he called me from the street before he even went in. If this place would open more locations, perhaps in California for instance, life would be much better for all of us! Risotteria is located on [...]
Risotteria Chocalate Chip Cookies (or Mix)
January 25, 2010 by Nancy
Filed under Product Reviews
These ready-made chocolate chip cookies are perfection. A little larger than a mall cookie, and much more interesting. The chunky chips in these are unbelievable, and the cookie itself is just the right combination of soft and crisp, mostly soft. No gluten-free taste or texture here. You can buy these by the half-dozen or dozen [...]
Risotteria New York City Black and White Cookie
January 25, 2010 by Nancy
Filed under Product Reviews
Another example of gluten-free dessert perfection from the Risotteria restaurant in NY. These ready-made cookies ship individually wrapped and in a pastry box and arrive within 2 days of being baked. They are each a hefty 6” in diameter or so and are a probably a little larger than a cookie you’d buy at the [...]
Risotteria Vanilla or Choclate Cupcake Mix
January 25, 2010 by Nancy
Filed under Product Reviews
Definitely makes the most decadent, gorgeous, most tasty cupcakes I have found. These are in the no one will know they are gluten free category. Those are my favorite kinds of products! The chocolate mix makes an extremely moist and rich gooeyness that is almost too much for people who aren’t gaga over chocolate. These [...]
Kinnikinnick Donuts

These frozen donuts are really great if you are a little slightly desperate for a ready-made sweet treat. They will nicely satisfy your gluten-free family members, but will definitely not appeal to the others. Kids will love them. They come in cinnamon sugar (my favorite), chocolate coated, vanilla coated and maple coated. Tip: Right out [...]
Newman-O’s Wheat Free Cookies
January 25, 2010 by Nancy
Filed under Product Reviews
(NOT gluten free – just wheat free) These will fool even the most devout Oreo cookie fan. I’ve served them to wheat-eating teenagers and they really do not know they are not eating Oreos. Hard to imagine. No further words needed. They are awesome if you like Oreo’s!
Newman’s Wheat-Free Fig Newmans
January 25, 2010 by Nancy
Filed under Product Reviews
(NOT gluten free- just wheat free-dairy free) These cakey wheat-free, dairy-free fig cookies are pretty close to the real deal! The cake part is firm and moist and the fig filling is sweet and tasty but is a little grainy/gritty – not enough to be a bad thing, but enough to make it feel like [...]
Kinnikinnick Kinni-Kwik Bread and Bun Mix
January 25, 2010 by Nancy
Filed under Product Reviews
I’ve tried just about every bread and roll mix . . . this is by far the best gluten free mix I’ve found! Most mixes make either a crumbly mess of sand-like, flavorless crumbs, or a nice hard rock, neither of which get eaten at my house. With this mix you get a nice, soft, [...]
Suddenly Trendy!
Living gluten free is suddenly trendy – and thank goodness it is. When we began this journey we were freaks. In California, vegetarian has always been in. Vegan is in, but gluten free? Huh? No one ever heard of that. Over the past few years, the number of products, articles, books, medical reports, and websites [...]
