I came across this tasty frozen dinner at Whole Foods - a Chicken Tikka Masala by Tandoor Chef. While it doesn't have any ingredients listed as containing gluten it is made in a facility where wheat is processed. This was delicious, but it doesn't have any rice in it to soak up the sauce...

Recently, I made the pumpkin tart on a chocolate crust from Martha Stewart's Oct. 2009 magazine. I simply subbed the cup of all purpose flour for a cup of Bob's Red Mill gluten-free all-purpose flour and everything else stayed the same...

I recently received a very generous package of Genral Mills Fruit Snacks to try. They were just as I remembered as a kid, quite sweet and tangy. While my tastes have changed, it's good to know these kid-friendly, grab-and-go treats are still available to the gluten intolerant.

This past weekend I whipped up a batch of these 1 2 3 Southern Glory Biscuits. They are delicious. At first, I was concerned because the dough was really wet, but I rolled it out carefully one biscuit at a time and used corn starch to keep the dough from sticking...

This past weekend I feasted at the Wild Grape Bistro in Salt Lake City. I had found it listed as gluten-free friendly on Urbanspoon.com so I went to check it out. The food was fantastic and my server really worked with me to make sure everything was safe...

These cookies are good enough to write home about, hence the post. I picked up a box of the chocolate spritz cookies in a local market in Durango, CO. I shared them with some gluten eaters and they agreed they were quite tasty...

I saw this video by Kinnikinnick foods mentioned on about.com - it shows what it takes to properly de-gluten-ize a piece of equipment that has been used to process wheat-based products. Take a look!

Due to yet another overscheduled weekend, I showed up starving to a movie - never a good idea. I had a bag of Crackerjacks with me, but that wasn't going to cut it. Hungrily, I eyed the slowly cooking hotdogs on the counter at the AMC theater at Grapevine Mills...

OK, seriously, these cookies should come with a warning label - open the box of Dr. Lucy's cookies and expect to want to eat all of them. Except, it's not such a crisis if you do because the serving size is 4 cookies for 120 calories!I tried the sugar cookies - seriously excellent...

My friend sent me this interesting article about GF beer being able to be labelled as beer even if it doesn't contain the traditional beer ingredients. It also has some links to other intriguing GF and Celiac info.http://www.usatoday.com/news/health/2009-08-17-beer-gluten_N.htm?csp=34

Most of this won't be new information to a lot of you, but it includes some links to some good resources and the newly diagnosed can learn a lot!http://www.nytimes.com/2009/08/15/health/15patient.html?_r=1Recently, I have been cutting back on costs and calories effectively by not buying much...

One of my co-workers drew a name for me and he chose Becky Revell of Frisco, Texas. Thanks to all of you who entered!Becky, if you don't hear from the Betty Crocker people soon, let me know.

I am going out tomorrow to the Five Guys in Southlake for an assignment for the paper, so I thought I'd check their gluten-freeness. On their website, it says they are completely gluten-free except for the buns. So, that should be good news to area Celiacs...
