Go Picnic is donating and distributing gluten-free food to the people hit by the tornado. They have told me that they are trying to work with the Red Cross Disaster Relief to stock gluten-free foods in emergency food trailers. This is from their FB page:

FOOD FOR OKLAHOMA RELIEF**

Many of you have reached out and asked how you can help, especially with providing food to those people requiring special diets, such as gluten-free. We have reached out to our contacts through GIuten Intolerance Group and other support groups to find a good way to get food directly to those in need, and would like to make it easy and affordable for those who would like to to help.

**Through the end of May, GoPicnic will match any meal donation, and provide free shipping to the donation site in Oklahoma.**

The Food Allergy Awareness Coalition is collecting food at the Cherokee Hills Church of Christ site, and will be distributing the food directly to the Red Cross and shelters.

To donate, simply buy any product on GoPicnic.com and at shipping, use the address:

Cherokee Hills Church of Christ
6724 NW 63
Oklahoma City, OK 73132
Attn: Becky

Enter code: HELPOKLAHOMA at checkout, and no shipping will be assessed on the order.

Please note: the free shipping code is only valid on donations to the Cherokee Hills Church of Christ location.

We understand from those at the Food Allergy Awareness Coalition that this need in Oklahoma will continue for several weeks as they work on recovery. Any extra food leftover after this crisis has been addressed will be supplied to the local food banks for continued distribution to the needy.

Many thanks to our great customers for their interest in helping to support relief for this terrible situation.

I think we need a fun thread.  Bacon seems to be a popular food....so I thought...we need a thread of bacon recipes.

 

Here is an interesting one:

Since we have been having a few posts saying they have nothing to eat but gluten when they are hungry, I thought we could compile a list of our favorite things to eat when there is "nothing" to eat.  I don't mean "pop a chicken in the oven with fresh herbs from my garden". 

 

So.....

 

What do you keep with you or in your house for Hunger Emergencies?

 

 

Mine are - Go Picnic boxes  http://www.gopicnic....ets/Gluten-Free

 

 

                  Nature Valley Almond Crunch bars     http://www.natureval...rs/AlmondCrunch

 

                  Small packets of nuts

 

                  Spoonful of PB

Don't think we have had this posted yet. Pillsbury is making gluten-free dough.

Not sure if this is a new idea, but it is to me!  Watch that the almond paste has no gluten ingredients.  I saw one that had wheat.  You could use any fruit in these.  It uses 1 tbsp of flour.  I would use almond flour or rice flour, I think.

 

The revelation to me - Using almond paste to make a crust!
