Better Way Gluten Free Bread

Posted on March 28, 2016 by admin Posted in Breads .

If you’re trying to live gluten free you’ve probably ran into some of the common hiccups when it comes to basic staples you were used to. Pasta was a tough nut to crack to find the right consistency and texture but far worse is bread. Most gluten free Breads are crumbly, or oddly spongy and none of them seem to hold up while making a sandwich.

If you’re lucky enough to live near a good gluten free bakery you might be able to get some fresh baked breads up to your usual standards, but most of us have to make due with what’s at the grocery store. Udi’s is a pretty solid choice and available in most stores and even amazon, but it seems to have the same durability issues most gluten free breads and buns do.

Recently a local grocer started selling Better Way brand gluten free breads so we gave it a shot. Overall it’s a really hearty bread. Great for sandwiches because it can be sliced without crumbling into little bits and keeps the contents together when trying to eat. In a pinch it’ll even hold up with a hamburger because the spongy consistency keeps it from falling apart from a big juicy burger. Better Way is also making inroads with distribution and is even available at Walmart making it accessible to people living gluten free all over the US.

While the texture is dense and that’s a real pro it also makes the bread a little heavier to chew and it holds the flavors it comes in contact with rather than standing apart from them. As far as drawbacks go, it’s really minor. All in all, we’d recommend giving A Better Way Gluten Free Breads a shot if you’re sick of flimsy crumbly gluten free breads.

Oopsy Daisy Woodchuck Seasonal Cider

Posted on April 29, 2015 by admin Posted in Beer, Uncategorized .

Oopsy Daisy

Chamomile and honey in a cider? Oh, you have to try it! Woodchuck’s Oopsy Daisy Seasonal Cider is the most exciting hard cider we’ve sampled so far. This little bottle packs a surprisingly complex flavor yet has a crisp, light aftertaste. This is sit on the porch cider or rainy day when you want to beat the gloom cider. Perfect after a day of hiking in the mountains or sitting by a campfire under the stars. Seriously, take a sip,  close your eyes and be transported to a meadow with deer and butterflies, it’s that good. You can almost feel the cool breeze whisk around you. Woodchuck, please please bring Oopsy Daisy back next year. You can pick up Oopsy Daisy as part of the Woodchuck Hard Cider “Cluster Chuck” Variety Pack.

Barilla Gluten Free Pasta

Posted on January 13, 2015 by admin Posted in Pasta, Products, Reviews .

We all miss our favorite foods, and pasta may top your list. Barilla Gluten Free Pasta tastes like the real deal. You may have been promised this before, but Barilla’s recipe takes the cake. Made with corn and rice in a variety of shapes dish possibilities are endless. With other GF pastas you may find yourself altering the cook time to avoid a mushy mess which can result in an inconsistent texture. Cooking water will get murky as with all GF pastas, but don’t fret. Simply follow directions on the box and get creative with your favorite hot sauces. We have yet to find a gluten free alternative that works well in cold recipes. The noodle gets brittle when chilled, but things are only getting better for those seeking GF options!

Barilla Pasta

Ingredients: Corn Flour, Rice Flour, Mono and Diglycerides

If you feel like something’s missing from your morning routine, maybe it’s granola! Without that great texture yogurt just isn’t the same. Most gluten free granolas leave something to be desired, but we’ve found Udi’s to be the real deal! This granola is packed with gluten-free oats which are a great source of fiber. On top of that serving is packed with 3 grams of protein to kick start your morning. A hint of wildflower honey and a light almond crunch add just enough complexity to keep things interesting. Udi’s gluten free granola has a perfectly balanced flavor that will keep you coming back for more!

You can pick up a 3 Pack here for only $14

Ingredients: Certified Gluten Free Oats, Wildflower Honey, Canola Oil, Almonds, Vanilla Extract
