Summer is officially here, and has been for a few days now, which means we are back to calling up the various ice cream vendors, and chip companies, and salad dressing-makers to see what products are GF, which are not, and which products were once GF, but are not any more.
I have no problem with Customer Service people, and they are always really very nice and helpful, but I have to say, waiting on hold for up to 15 minutes just so they can go find an ingredient list is really very annoying, and I wish that the lists were just handy and right there. I mean, I cannot be the only one calling to ask what "natural flavorings" they use, right?

Are there any GF/Celiac related things you guys do at the start of every summer?

Rice Krispies FTW!!!

I had my first bowl of GF Rice Krispies today, and they were...okay. I am pretty dissapointed, I hate to say. While MILES ahead of the other GF crispy puffed rice cereals out there, they still were not very good. The cereal got mushy pretty quickly, and it did not have much flavor. Overall, good-ish, which is a bummer. Oh well.

The Best GF Foods on SHINE

There I was. Scrolling through Yahoo. (Did you know that Bradley Cooper speaks fluent french?) (And have you seen that video of the skiving marriage proposal?) To sum it up, I was procrastinating. I am very, very good at procrastinating. I saw this article on Yahoo's SHINE and, obviously, clicked on it.
There are a few opinions of mine I would like to share.
The best GF cereal? Corn Chex, or Honey Nut Chex. Not Rice Chex, I do not think they have enough flavor when plain, and they get mushy a lot faster in milk than other cereals.
The best GF dry pasta? Mrs. Leeper's Brown Rice Pasta or Jovial or Bionaturae, depending on what shape of noodle you want. The Quinoa pasta they feature just does not reheat very well.

I also wonder if the author, Karen Ansel, has Celiac...
Hmm....

What are your favorite GF foods? Do you agree with the article?
