What Are Your Favorite Gluten-free Products?

[debygf]

If you could walk into a physical store and purchase gluten free mixes & pastas (or anything that's worth mentioning) what is the best brand? What is the best mix? What is the best pastas? What is worth the money?

What have you found to be the best?

Tinkyada brown rice pasta, Kinnickinick english muffins I just tried the english muffins recently and they are yummy. I tried them after reading about other people on here liking them. Pastariso mac and cheese is great it is so fast and easy to make. That is a few for you. Oh and I really like the Daim cake that you can buy at Ikea I forget the brand name.

I like Ener-G foods Brown Rice Sweet Potato English muffins, corn loaf bread and granola bar cookies. I prefer Quinoa (with corn) pastas. My favorite mix is "The Cravings Place" peanut butter cooky mix, because I can substitute any nut butter and add any nuts for variety. Since I have to avoid dairy and soy, as well as gluten, I must seriously sleuthe for gluten/dairy/soy free brands. I like Annie's Salad Dressings. The only safe milk substitute which I have found that does not break down with cooking is Vance's DariFree Beverage Mix.

I've tried all the above and they are good but the bread mix Manna by Anna is by far and away my favorite. I made bread, muffins, buns with it, its so good.

I love Tinkyada pasta me and my boyfriend have made dinners that are to die for. Also I am a big fan of the envirokids crispy rice bars (only the Berry), i have tryed some cookies and actually had a new brand last night, but dont remember the name....have to check when I get home and they were really great. It is sometimes really hard adjusting to the difference in the tast of the food, but some of it actually makes you eat so much healthier.

Do you have a Whole Foods near you? They have the most delicious pre-made cakes delivered to their stores from a new gluten-free bakehouse they established in North Carolina (the building is dedicated completely to gluten-free baking). They have all kinds of breads, cookies, cakes. I bought this lemon-poppy-seed cake last week and it was sooooooo good!

Whole Foods Bakery - chocolate brownies, chocolate chip cookies and pecan pie --- the bread is not so good ---- dense. We have purchased the corn bread but have not tried it yet. The food is shipped to the stores frozen but does not taste like it has been frozen. Tastes fresh. The baker for Whole Foods was diagnosed with celiac so now he is head baker at their bakery in NC. There is one in Annapolis, MD --- Pamela's flour mix is good - I make pecan waffles and hot cakes --- I actually like that mix better than any containing gluten. I make my daughters homemade waffles using this mix and they love it (and they do not have celiac).

Hi!

I love Quinoa Pasta. It has higher protein and I think it has the best pasta like texture. I second the Kinninninicks English Muffins listed above and they also have a great pizza crust. Don Pancho's Gluten Free Tortillas are great, but I use them more for Quesadillas, than wraps. The best brownie mix I have tried is Pamela's. There is an option to add more chocolate chips which I do. Cause Your Special has a golden pound cake mix that is so good. These are the things I always have to make sure I have on hand for whenever I get a craving. So GOOd! Apparently I have some more things to try from what everyone else has stated.
