This week, we take great pride in presenting a great new product line from Decatur, Weat Free Breakfast Foods. Weat Free is just as the name implies - "without wheat". Weat Free also means "we eat free" of the allergens you see in foods today which includes gluten, dairy, soy and nuts. For years eating gluten-free meant that you might have to go without or sacrifice the flavor of your foods. The folks at Weat Free have spent countless hours mixing and experimenting with a variety of ingredients to make the best breakfast foods you can enjoy without sacrificing great taste. Stop by between 3 and 5 to witness how tasty they are. We're also tasting the Wines of France this week.

East Cobb - Sweet Heat Brownie Bites

Nothin' spells lovin' like a little somethin' from our oven! And this Saturday afternoon, that little somethin' is our famous Sweet Heat Brownie Bites, made delicious with the addition of Fire and Flavor Coffee Rub, a touch of chipotle and coffee in a multi-tasking rub! They'll be baked right in our USA pans, our favorite bakeware for perfect results and easy clean-up. Stop by for a tasty hot and sweet treat, and grab a copy of the recipe, so that you can share it with your loved ones anytime!

Midtown - Coeur à la Crème

St. Valentine's Day is only days away so we are serving a savory coeur à la crème for you to sample. What is a coeur à la crême, you ask? A traditional heart-shaped creamy molded French confection usually served for dessert with a fruit sauce.

Butterfly Bakery flies on gossamer wings

2012-02-02T12:06:00.000-05:00

I have a new gluten-free bakery favorite: Butterfly Bakery in Clifton, NJ.

from the Internet:

"The family is known as the Gossamer-Winged butterflies because their wings, like the fabric, generally appear delicate and shimmery.

I was so delighted to receive the gluten-free and sugar-free goodies from Butterfly Bakery around Christmas. First, they sent me the wonderful oatmeal raisin cookies. MY GOODNESS. I've been looking for this cookie for a long time....it is truly delicious. It was so good, I shared it on a cookie tray at a holiday party and NO ONE knew it was gluten free or sugar free.

But the little mini blueberry muffins? LOVED. THEM. So yummy and natural tasting. I was very happy -- I'm not usually a muffin person, but these were the right size.

Photo via Google Images.

I especially love their color-coded labeling. It is really colorful and allows GF people like me to know when we're getting safe food. There's a great article here!

Now, where can you buy them? Right now, not in Georgia, but this map will help you discover the location of this beautiful product. And they are soon to launch a store on Amazon.Com.

Find some for yourself! You'll enjoy very much!

Now...I am off to order the gluten-free lemon cream poundcake for my birthday next week! YUM.

Much love, Ging

#GF Super Bowl Kick-Off With @Popcorn_Indiana chip'ins

2012-02-01T13:31:00.001-05:00

This is a share from the wonderful folks at Popcorn, Indiana.

These are #gf snacks, and they're a great deal (usually available at Wal-Mart).

I give this a big ***** rating!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A wonderful way to devastate those healthy New Year’s resolutions, the Super Bowl and its artery-strangling food can be the health equivalent of a star offensive linebacker: relentlessly punishing, in your face, and you can bet you’ll feel it the next day. But you don’t have to settle for Saltines; the savvy snackers out there know that abstinence from taste is for the weak!

Popcorn, Indiana chip’ins cooks up the perfect gourmet snack, one that spans the taste spectrum: it’s crispy, crunchy, salty, comforting and of course, guiltless. Healthier than fried and tastier than baked, chip’ins are hot air-chamber popped providing a sensible snacking solution. Need the facts?

Match Up #1	Serving Size	Total Fat	Saturated Fat	Calories
Jalapeño Ranch chip’ins	1 oz – 18 chips	4g	0g	130
Cooler Ranch Doritos	1 oz – 12 chips	8g	1g	150

Match Up #2	Serving Size	Total Fat	Saturated Fat	Calories
Buffalo Wing chip’ins	1 oz – 18 chips	4g	0g	130
Molten Hot Wings Ruffles	1 oz – 11 chips	10g	1g	160

Match Up #3	Serving Size	Total Fat	Saturated Fat	Calories
White Cheddar chip’ins	1 oz – 18 chips	4g	0g	130
Cheddar Cheese Pringles	1 oz – 16 chips	9g	3g	150

Match Up #4	Serving Size	Total Fat	Saturated Fat	Calories
Sea Salt chip’ins	1oz – 20 chips	2.5g	0g	120
Tostitos Crispy Rounds	1 oz – 13 chips	7g	1g	140

In a one-on-one match up against competing snacks, chip’ins puts the competition to shame in every category - offering more chips per serving, while cutting total fat by half, if not more! With finger-licking flavors that pop in your mouth, chip’ins is the ultimate mid-game munchy that satiates both hunger and cravings in a healthier, more satisfying way. There is simply no substitute.

Munch Better™ with Popcorn, Indiana chip’ins, your game day touchdown!

Availability: Wal-mart, Walgreens and Whole Food retailers nationwide

Price: $2.29 (3.5 oz) or $3.99 (7.5 oz)

#GF @crunchmaster Crispy BBQ Chicken Wing Recipe.

2012-02-01T11:50:00.000-05:00

This is not my original work -- I took it from a Crunchmaster email.

But I give them full credit and post it here because everyone is looking for a Super Sunday gluten-free chicken wing recipe.

I am impressed with this. You should try it.

Also, if you go Crunchmaster here, you'll find a $1 off coupon. And more recipes.

My love for this cracker never ends....

*****Five Stars!

Gluten Free Crispy BBQ Chicken Wings

Print Recipe

Ingredients
2 - 4.5 oz bags Crunchmaster® Multi Grain Sea Salt Crackers
1 cup gluten free barbeque sauce – use divided
½ cup honey – use divided
4 lbs chicken wing drumettes

Directions

Pour ¾ cup of the barbeque sauce and ¼ cup of the honey in a large plastic storage bag and mix. Add the chicken wings, close the bag and toss several times to coat the wings with the sauce. Let sit in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or up to 24 hours.

Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray two baking sheets with gluten free, non-stick cooking spray.

Grind the crackers in a food processor or blender to fine crumbs and pour onto a dinner plate. Remove a chicken wing from the marinade, roll in the cracker crumbs to coat and place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chicken wings. Discard the marinade. Spray the tops of the wings lightly with gluten free, non-stick cooking spray. Bake for 25 – 30 minutes or until browned and cooked thoroughly (registering 165 degrees on an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the wing).

Combine the remaining ¼ cup barbeque sauce with the remaining ¼ honey and serve with the wings for dipping.

Makes about 30 wings.

#GF Super “Chili” Bowl Brings Unique Flavor to Game Day Meals

I just thought this sounded delicious and very healthy!

Super “Chili” Bowl Brings Unique Flavor to Game Day Meals
White bean chili scores an extra point with Pure Chocolate Extract
WAUKEGAN, ILL. (January 17, 2012) – Every sports fan knows that the Super Bowl not only involves great football, commercials and an extravagant half-time performance, but the game day grub often becomes the MVP of Super Bowl Sunday.
Chili, along with finger-licking appetizers, sandwiches and desserts, can become a menu that will keep everyone happy -- even fans of the losing team. Nielsen-Massey Vanillas Pure Chocolate Extract is a secret ingredient that can take a bowl of chili from mediocre to memorable.
Pure Chocolate Extract offers the full depth of dark chocolate, made from the finest cocoa beans. It can be used to add an extra measure of chocolate flavor to dishes that have a chocolate base or can bring a top note to sauces, chili and other spicy foods. It goes exceptionally well with chile peppers, tomatoes and legumes, making it a great pair to the Hearty White Bean Chili recipe below.
"In my house Super Bowl Sunday means family, friends and food. As the chef for the day, I always use our pure flavors and vanillas to create appetizers, main dishes and desserts,” said Craig Nielsen, chief executive officer of Nielsen-Massey Vanillas.
The recipe below puts a twist on the ultimate Super Bowl dish that will have fans requesting seconds at halftime.
Hearty White Bean Chili

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 boneless skinless chicken breasts, medium dice
1 cup finely diced onion
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup organic chicken stock
1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 (29-ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (7-ounce) can diced green chiles
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 tablespoons dried organic parsley
1 tablespoon dried organic oregano
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
2 teaspoons Nielsen-Massey Pure Chocolate Extract
1 (15-ounce) can white kidney beans, drained
1/2 cup (2 ounces) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Heat the olive oil in a medium sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until brown. Remove the chicken from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside. Add the onion to the sauté pan and cook until caramelized, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes. Pour in the chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wood spoon to deglaze.
Pour the stock mixture into a large saucepot and add the cooked chicken, tomatoes, tomato sauce, chiles, cumin, parsley, oregano, cayenne pepper and salt. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the chocolate extract and white kidney beans. Cook for 10 minutes.
Ladle the chili into soup bowls and garnish with the Parmesan cheese. Serves 6.
Note: Caramelization cooks the naturally occurring sugars in food and improves their flavor and appearance.
Deglaze means to stir a liquid, usually wine, in a sauté pan to loosen the cooked food particles from the pan.

Place the chicken pieces into the pot, skin side down so that they fit snugly yet have room to color. Turn them after 2 minutes then cook for a further 2 minutes on the bottom. Remove the chicken to a plate. Add the bacon and cook until golden. Reduce the heat to medium, add the sliced onion, carrot and celery and cook for 2 minutes.

·         Blanch pearl onions in a 6 to 8-quart pot of boiling water 1 minute, then drain in a colander. When onions are cool enough to handle, peel. Set aside.

·         Next deglaze the bottom of the pot with 2 tablespoons of brandy. Stir all the ingredients well, lifting the browned bits off the bottom of the pot. While stirring, add the flour and cook for 1 minute. (This will create a roux and hold in all the flavors that have been created.)

·         Place the sprigs of thyme the pearl onions and the mushrooms into the pot and give them a stir, then return the chicken to the pot. Add the chicken stock and simmer for 5 minutes.

NFCA's Critical Research Study: Gluten in Medications

2012-01-11T09:28:00.001-05:00

As somone who has a bag of 19 prescriptions I take almost every day, this is an issue that clearly concerns me. I am indebted to NFCA for sharing it, and I post it here.
Thank you NFCA for all you do. You are my go-to source for GF and Celiac Information.
*****5 Stars
In case you haven't heard, NFCA has launched a very important survey for anyone living gluten-free, and we need help from all of you to spread the word! Here are the details:

Last November, the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA) announced that it would conduct a first-of-its-kind research study on gluten in medications, funded by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). NFCA, partnering with St. John's University College of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions, is conducting this research in two parts. The first part of the study is happening now: a survey of the celiac and gluten sensitive populations.
NFCA urges all people who are following a gluten-free diet to participate. Participants will be asked about their experiences taking medicine. They will also be asked to share information if they think they might have had a gluten-related reaction to an over-the-counter or prescription medicine. Results from the survey will guide the second phase of the study: our team will test some of the medicines identified in the survey to see if they contain gluten.
This critically needed preliminary research aims to validate or nullify the anecdotal adverse experiences associated with gluten in medications that have been reported by people with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. It is a first step to determine if more investigation is needed, which may lead to additional research, labeling, and safe use guideline initiatives. More information about the Safe Use Initiative can be found at www.fda.gov/safeuseinitiative
We are looking to generate as MANY responses as possible to strengthen our research. We need YOUR help in this effort. We ask that you circulate this message and invite all those who are gluten-free to complete this survey.

To participate in the this survey, please go to www.CeliacCentral.org/Survey. The survey takes between 4-15 minutes to complete. It closes on February 28, 2012.

When posting about this survey, please use the above survey link or post the following link to our announcement in NFCA's Research News: http://www.celiaccentral.org/research-news/gluten-in-medications-survey-now-a...

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

BAKERY ON MAIN ANNOUNCES OVER $20,000 IN CELIAC DONATIONS

Gluten Free Company Funds Celiac Research and Awareness

EAST HARTFORD, CONN. – Bakery On Main donated a total of $21,771.75 in 2011 to support various organizations that provide the celiac community with awareness, education, advocacy and research.

The organizations Bakery On Main support are the University of Chicago Celiac Disease Center, the Celiac Sprue Association (CSA), the Celiac Disease Foundation (CDF), the Gluten Intolerance Group (GIG), and the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness (NFCA). In addition, Bakery On Main supported over 40 Celiac events nationwide in 2011 and already has 22 lined up for 2012.

Bakery On Main is especially dedicated to supporting the University of Chicago CeliacDisease Center’s Annual Free Celiac Blood Screening for individuals who would otherwise not have access to this service and the Gluten-Free Care Package Program for newly diagnosed celiacs.

CSA and CDF are non-profit organizations that are dedicated to helping individuals with Celiac Disease through education, awareness and support. Bakery On Main provided support to these organizations through participation in celiac awareness and educational events.

Bakery On Main sponsors GIG events and makes donations to the organization’s Celiac Camps. Their mission is to provide support to people with celiac disease, gluten intolerance and othergluten sensitivities in order to live healthy lives.

Bakery On Main works with NFCA to help them facilitate research, education, and early diagnosis. To support these goals, Bakery On Main sponsored a brochure with diagnostic testing information and a detailed symptoms checklist which was distributed throughout pharmacies, doctor’s offices and supermarkets nationwide.

ABOUT BAKERY ON MAIN

Bakery On Main was founded in 2003 with a simple philosophy: food that’s good for you should taste good too. It all started in the small bakery of a natural foods market on Main Street in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Founder Michael Smulders listened to his Celiac customers complain about the taste of many of the gluten free options available to them. He thought that no one should have to suffer because of a food allergy or other special dietary needs, and made it his mission to create products that were good for them but taste like they aren’t.

Today, the company’s premium gluten free products are made in a 34,000 square foot manufacturing facility with state of the art quality controls and in-house gluten testing on every batch. Located just a few miles down the road from the original bakery, the plant maintains the same small bakery quality by continuing to bake in small batches.

* It's believed the first apple pie was made in England - over six hundred years ago!

*   The first printed apple pie recipe was by Geoffrey Chaucer in 1381. The ingredients for the pie were good apples, good spices, figs, raisins and pears.

* English settlers brought apple pie-making to America.

* Early American apple pies had a take-off crust. First, the apples were baked in the crust. Then the top crust was lifted off. Sugar and spices were added. The top crust was put back on. Then the pie was served.

* Apple pie is often served with ice cream. This is called apple pie a la mode.

Fruitcake Cookies and Nog, gluten-free style

2011-12-17T18:10:00.000-05:00
This is about a happy marriage I never expected to live on in my life.

Yes Virginia, there is good Soy Nog and gluten-free Fruitcake Cookies for us!

When I went gluten-free, one of the foods I mourned, that I really wanted around the holidays, was fruitcake cookies. I had a love of Claxton Fruitcake, and when I couldn't get one, I would make cookies filled with nuts, cherries, and love.

And Egg Nog -- ahhhh. I know, love it or hate it. With fruitcake cookies, well, it was a holiday match made in heaven (and yes, I bought egg nog throughout the holidays -- even into January, LOVE)

I was pleased a few weeks ago to receive a coupon for the new Earth Balance Soy Nog. I found it for sale at Whole Foods, and I brought it home.

And I lovingly paired with the new delicious fruitcakes from American Gra-Frutti, now in Roswell, Ga.

Oh my. Happy Holidays to me.

First, the Soy Nog is good -- it's very mild, and I suppose you could add bourbon or rum to it if you were so inclined. I thought it very tasty -- better than the soy-based competition. I wish it much success for those who are dairy and egg free. This nog's for you!

Here's what it looks like in the carton. And honestly, you won't notice a difference in the taste!

Now, for those fruitcake cookies. I've written much about American Gra-Frutti , and it continues to be one of my favorite artisan bakehouses. Now in its newlocation in Roswell, American Gra-Frutti has just debuted a FRUITCAKE COOKIE that is sold in large packs.

Now there's a problem: I ate them all before I got a picture. That would be hint no. 1 that like all the products, these cookies are first-rate! They are ligh

You can now find American Gra-Frutti products (including a yummy Red Velvet Cupcake) at 1007 Mansell Road, Suite D, Roswell, GA 30076. Whole Foods also carries the products.

two for the road?

The products are available all through the holidays by calling the bakeshop at 770-587-5874.
It's time for two weeks of serious holiday celebration! Now you know where to go for outstanding cheer!

Much love,
Ging

#GFm Healthy Recipe Contest from @earthbalance. Submit Holiday Recipes, Win $1,400 Whole Foods Gift Card!

2011-12-12T15:07:00.001-05:00

Submit Your Vegan Dessert Recipes for the Chance to Win a $1,400 Whole Foods Gift Card!
The Holidays are soon approaching and the Earth Balance Holiday Bake-Off is in full swing. The third week of the four-week competition has begun, and delicious vegan dessert recipes are on the menu!

The Earth Balance Holiday Bake-Off is a four-week competition that evaluates original, plant-based dessert recipes using at least one Earth Balance product. Each week of the contest features a different dessert theme, including our two remaining categories - cupcakes and cookies. Each week, two winners are chosen to receive Whole Foods gift cards and a year's supply of Earth Balance. One lucky winner will take home a $1,000 Whole Foods gift card grand prize!

"The holiday season is about family traditions and recipes," said TJ McIntyre, Vice President General Manager of Earth Balance. "Plant-based desserts are just as delicious, if not more, than desserts made with traditional ingredients, and we're excited to see what our community shares with us during our second annual Holiday Bake-Off."

Throughout the four week contest, a team of culinary experts including Jenny Engle and Heather Goldberg from Spork Foods evaluate the recipes based on appeal, ease of preparation and creativity.

To qualify, recipes must be plant-based, contain an Earth Balance® product, including spreads, sticks, nut butters and soymilk, and feature one or more vegetables, fruits, whole grains, beans, nuts or seeds. Each week, bakers will compete to have the top recipes in a different category. The remaining recipe category schedule is:
December 12-18: Cupcakes
December 19-23: Cookies
All winners will be announced the week of January 9, 2012.

More information about the Holiday Bake-Off Recipe Contest is available at MadeJustRight.com/contest.

Wishing you a happy, healthy Holiday season!

Sincerely,
The Earth Balance team
