I’m sure you’ve noticed that gluten is in a ton of food, but did you know it’s in most make-up, hair care and skin care? Since our skin is our biggest organ and absorbs what we put on it, that means that if you’re sensitive to gluten you also need to use gluten free personal […]

Perdue Simply Smart GF chicken strips
Walmart has these available in some stores. We tried these last night they were ok but my kids prefer the Trader Joe’s Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets. These were not as crispy as the TJ nuggets but in a pinch these will do. Perdue also has a full line of Simply Smart products, if we try some […]

Apple Gate
In our family we don’t eat a lot of lunch meat because of the sodium content, but I do buy a pack of Applegate turkey or bologna every week to keep things simple. Not only does it taste great, but it’s preservative free! I get insomnia from Nitrites and Nitrates so I never eat regular lunch […]
