Gluten Free & Fabulous

I found Gluten Free & Fabulous Pizza at a recent trip the market and I was intrigued with the adorable box and large size of the pizza. I decided that at the reasonable price, that it would be worth a try for dinner. I opted to purchase the cheese pizza and load half with turkey pepperoni give the pizza a nice kick! 

After following the baking directions, I was surprised by how much I liked this pizza. It was easy to cut and it is considered to be a thin crust pizza, which I really love. This was in the top two frozen pizzas I have had! This pizza = fabulous!

Jessica's All Natural Gluten-Free Granola

Since going gluten free, there have been a long list of items that I miss eating on a regular basis and granola is one of them. So, when I was given the opportunity to try three types of gluten free granola I jumped at it!

I think I may have made granola out to be something major in my head because when I saw these beautiful packages from Jessica's All Natural I almost cried tears of joy. I was able to indulge in granola goodness once again and not feel guilty because after all, gluten free means better for me...at least to my celiac self!

There are no artificial flavors, colors or preservatives in Jessica's granola products and I find that really important.

CHOCOLATE CHIP GRANOLA
Ah-mazing! From the first bite to the last I was in heaven...serving size went out the window for this glutton! It is no wonder that this didn't last more than a day in my house! It was my favorite flavor of the cereals, but I am also a chocoholic and I should probably be in some sort of twelve step program.

So, if you can handle sticking to the serving size on this delicious cereal, here are the stats:

Serving Size: 1/4 cup
Calories: 130
Total Fat: 6 grams
Total Carbs: 16 grams
Sugar: 4 grams
Protein: 3 grams

Vanilla Maple Granola
Yummy and sweet. I love how there is a honey taste intertwined with the vanilla. This is the simplest of the three flavors I sampled. It is perfect for when you want a cereal that isn't overwhelming.

The Stats:
Serving Size: 1/4 cup
Calories: 130
Total Fat: 6 grams
Total Carbs: 16 grams
Sugar: 5 grams
Protein: 3 grams

Almond Cherry Granola :

Visually pleasing and equally delicious for your taste buds! This granola is loaded with almonds and dried cherries making it really satisfying. I added this to some yogurt and it made a perfect afternoon snack!

The Stats:
Serving Size: 1/4 cup
Calories: 130
Total Fat: 7
Total Carbs: 15 grams
Sugars: 5 grams

Want The Best Gluten Free Food In AZ?

Picazzo's Pizza is my absolute favorite place to eat gluten free! They have a compete separate gluten free menu that is mouth watering. I have never been glutened there and I find their staff to be completely knowledgeable! The photos above are from some of my many times there an I had so many that I didn't know which to choose from! They have amazing gourmet pizzas, delicious chicken wings, yummy humus with flat bread and I cannot wait to try their spinach and artichoke dip! They also have gluten free beer which is hard to find in restaurants, even though I am not a beer drinker.

Stephanie's Bachlorette Party Dinner was held there and every time I go there I have memories of that special night! I love going back there with people I love and making new memories every time!

If you live in Arizona or Oregon, I suggest that you give Picazzo’s a try, you will not regret it!

Blogging Issues...

So, I have had many things I would love to post....but I have been unable to upload photos! I have a slew of them. I have been able to use my other Blogger hosted blog with no issues but what is a post with no photos? CRAP, that is what! So, I will tell you what is coming up because I think I have a trick around my issues. I will write my posts on my other blog and then I will copy the HTML on the other blog and paste it into this blog, that should solve the problem, or at least I hope. Anyway, I know that this blog has been slacking and there are a plethora of reasons, but here is what is to come:

• Book Reviews
• More Food Reviews
• Gluten free in college

Well, I did mention a book review, one of the books is:

I am doing this book review unlike any other book review I ever have before, because this book has impacted me unlike any other book. If you are interested in ordering the book, please check out Chef Rachel Albert-Matesz website for more information.

Whole Foods Gluten Free Chocolate Cupcakes

If you look around this blog long enough, you will notice that I have an obsession with cupcakes. I adore them. The only thing that would win over a cupcake is an eclair. About a month ago (yes, that is how much of a blog-slacker I have been lately) I tried out these cupcakes from Whole Foods with my friend Ashley, who is not gluten free.

The Review:

These prepackaged cupcakes are found in the freezer section at your local Whole Foods market. Because they are frozen, they need to be microwaved for a little bit first. My first attempt was a total fail...
As you can see from the photo above, the fail is the cupcake on the right. It was cooked too long! We still ate it and it was still good. I think it was in there for 30 seconds. The one on the left was cooked for 12 seconds and it was delicious as well. The frosting is rich and decadent. These cupcakes are awesome and filling. They do not taste chalk like and they do not make you feel deprived. I would eat these again, however the calorie count is high, so it wouldn't be a regular staple in my diet.

The Stats:

Serving size: 1 cupcake
Calories: 470
Total Fat: 24 grams
Total Carbs: 64 grams
Sugars:47 grams
Protein: 5grams

Walmart trying to be Fresh & Easy?

Fresh & Easy (located in CA, AZ, NV) is a store that provides produce, prepackaged fresh meals, and convince at decent prices. Walmart is now trying to compete with that...but at Walmart prices. Case in point:


I am pondering this....

So....is it more of a Walmart?



Or is it more of a Fresh & Easy?



Well, the store looked like both as you can tell from the photos that I took. Fresh and Easy seems to have more gluten free choices by far. I like Fresh & Easy a lot more and they have this yummy gluten free pudding and they offer So'fella cake mix. Plus, at the Walmart I saw this...

Jerks!
