PCC Walk, Talk, & Taste Tour

 MY very favorite new non dairy yogurt. Hands down the best dairy free yogurt I've had. Great texture & taste. Gluten, dairy, soy, cane sugar free. It is sweetened with fruit juice and oh so delicious! 
 Annie's is expanding their gluten free Bunny line. I think I saw 3 or 4 different flavors! Still no gluten free cheddar bunnies though, one of these days hopefully.
 These English Muffins are pretty darn good, they aren't as soft as the regular kind but still quite tasty! 

Last week my friend Stacey and I went on one of PCC's Walk, Talk, & Taste Tours. I highly recommend them. They are free (you do have to register on their website) and you get to try a variety of gluten free products the store sells, you get a nice little chat with a nutritionist from PCC, and then they walk you around the store to show you all their favorite products. And to top it all off, you get a $10 coupon off your next $40 purchase, which we all know is easy to spend at PCC! I thought it was a great way to try some new products and learn a little, while having fun:) 
PCC also offers some gluten free cooking classes (there is a fee for the classes) and I'm hoping to try one in the Fall. None of their summer dates worked for me, but they sound great!

Thrilled with Fred Meyer pharmacy

Ever since going gluten free I get nervous whenever I need a new prescription because it is really hard to find out if medications are gluten free or not. There are some great websites with lists (I have one linked on this blog) but most don't have generics on there. I used to go to Top Foods pharmacy and whenever I'd ask them to help me determine if a medication was gluten free they told me it wasn't their job and I needed to research it myself. Which always thrilled me especially when I was there filling a prescription for a sick kid that needed gf medicine asap! So I switched to the Fred Meyer pharmacy at Thrasher's Corner and they have been AMAZING! Tonight the pharmacist not only took time to research it for me she printed off helpful info for me and told me some sites she likes to use. So glad I switched:) 

New quick and easy dinner!

We discovered these a few weeks ago at Trader Joe's and they are a hit. Yummy, healthy, and quick. Perfect for busy nights when we have to make dinner fast. We topped them with a broccoli slaw, avocado, and salsa. YUM! 
They aren't labeled gluten free but when I was at they store they had them out as a taster and the lady said they were gluten free. Another lady next to me assured me she is gluten free and she eats them. I've eaten them 3 times now and feel great:)

Bummed

I just got back from Costco and they are no longer carrying Rudi's gf bread! I am so sad, I loved that they were selling it. I asked the supervisor why and he said he didn't know but that none of the Costco's are selling it anymore:( I may just have to write a letter. You should too:) 

P.S.- took that post off about taking a break. I'm just going to casually update when time allows. 
Happy Summer!

New Great Blog!

I was just introduced to this new blog that is really great. It has info, tips, etc about eating allergy free but my favorite thing about it is that it has a Steals/Deals section. I will be checking it much more often, you can also "like" it Facebook to get updates. 

I hope to be back to posting recipes soon, lots of birthdays and events going on around here these days and not enough time to post!
