ARCHIVED How Much Do You Spend On Groceries?
sunnybabi1986 replied to snifter's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
We spend about $300 a month, and that's for hubby and myself and a toddler. I buy things like rice mixes and chocolate almond milk which aren't really necessary, but I'm in love with, so our bill could probably drop a bit if I *really* tried I stock up on pasta, cookies, baking mixes, crackers, etc on Amazon and am careful to always buy meat on sale... -
ARCHIVED Gluten Free Cornmeal?
sunnybabi1986 replied to JeffW's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I use Bob's Red Bill Gluten Free Cornmeal, but it's kind of hard to find. They also make a non-gluten-free variety (it's made in a factory with wheat and says so on the bag). The gluten free variety clearly says "Gluten Free" on the front and states that it is made in a dedicated facility and tested routinely. I had to go to Amazon to get the gluten free... -
ARCHIVED Udi's Blueberry Muffins
sunnybabi1986 replied to Chattyaholic's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
The chocolate ones and the blueberry ones are *SO* addictive!! I've seen 5 stores in my town start carrying them because people have been requesting them left and right. My husband is ordering some into his store next week (he's a manager)...Yay!!! This will kill my budget, but they sure are yummy! -
ARCHIVED Boxed Chicken Rice Mix?
sunnybabi1986 replied to tea-and-crumpets's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Lundberg's Risotto mixes are amazingly yummy!! The Garlic Primavera is my favorite and they are very similar to rice-a-roni. Another rice mix I like to make is made by Thai Kitchen. I found it in the Thai section of my grocery stores, it says gluten free right on the front and they are very good! Some of them are a bit spicy, so remember to check for... -
ARCHIVED "perfect Pinch" Mccormick Spices
sunnybabi1986 replied to DownWithGluten's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Green Giant is owned by General Mills, who will *always* list any source of wheat, barley, or rye. Their gluten free list is a list of foods that are guaranteed to be gluten free and that are under strict regulation to avoid cross contamination. I believe they also do testing on some/most of these products(?). Any product that is not on their gluten... -
ARCHIVED Looking For Chili Recipe

Hooray!! This makes me so happy! The extra disclaimer wasn't there when I looked, I'm glad they added it to let us know about the change -
ARCHIVED Looking For Chili Recipe
sunnybabi1986 replied to Wenmin's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Hm, according to their site, the chili beans are NOT gluten free. Do the cans note a change in ingredients or is the gluten maybe in the form of barley and not listed? I'll give them a call on Monday to see what the deal is -
ARCHIVED Suggestions For A Pumpkin Bread Mix?
sunnybabi1986 replied to Sunshine24's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
This recipe for Pumpkin Bread is *seriously* AMAZING!!! I make it all the time and eat it for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I use Libby's canned pumpkin (gluten free right on the label) and it turns out amazing everytime...people ask me to bring it to family gatherings because it's so good!! I use Crisco all vegetable shortening rather than butter ... -

ARCHIVED Crock Pot Making Me Sick?
sunnybabi1986 replied to Bella001's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
My crock pot is ceramic, glazed, so I can't imagine that the pores would "open up." I know that is exactly what happens with cast iron, but as far as I know, not with glazed ceramic. Maybe someone else knows something I don't, but I don't believe that it would be possible to be glutened from a crock pot. Hope you figure it out soon! Edited to... -
ARCHIVED Udi Bread And Bagels Different Lately?
sunnybabi1986 replied to Nor-TX's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I was actually going to post about this...I've had 4 "dry, crumbly" loaves of Udi's in a row now, but before that, every loaf was perfect and soft. The dry loaves do seem to come from a certain store in town, so I'll try buying it from another store and see if it's any better. It's pretty discouraging to pay $6 for a loaf of dry yucky bread Especially... -
ARCHIVED Nutella Cookies
sunnybabi1986 replied to lpellegr's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips

ARCHIVED Warning Wal-Mart Syrup
sunnybabi1986 replied to bincongo's topic in Gluten-Free Recipes & Cooking Tips
Not only is pure maple syrup natural, studies have also found that it's high in antioxidants...I can't go back to "corn syrup" on my pancakes after using real maple syrup, LOVE the flavor! Although I COMPLETELY understand using non-maple syrup for cost reasons--real syrup is SO pricey! If you have a large family, it sure wouldn't be cost-effective! -
ARCHIVED Heartland Gluten Free Pasta
sunnybabi1986 replied to sunnybabi1986's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I guess the price checkers at my Wal-Mart don't quite have it figured out...the penne and fusilii were $2.00 in the "regular" section, and the fusilli was $2.32 in the "gluten free" section...I'm very glad to know that they will ring up right at the register, though -

ARCHIVED Heartland Gluten Free Pasta
sunnybabi1986 posted a topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
At Wal-Mart yesterday, I found a new gluten free pasta next to the regular pasta. The brand is Heartland and it's made of corn and rice. It was only $2 for a bag of fusili, so I picked it up and contacted the company when I got home, as there wasn't any labeling on the package indicating that there was any testing done to make sure that the pasta is gluten... -
ARCHIVED Anywhere To Buy Udi's On The Way To Pennsylvania?

Check out Udi's store locator here: Open Original Shared Link But keep in mind that there are a LOT of stores carrying Udi's that are not listed as well, as it's hard to keep the site updated. -
ARCHIVED Boost
sunnybabi1986 replied to Tigercat17's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I'm speaking to a representative right now from Boost and she just told me that they have an outside group test their products for gluten (couldn't tell me which one), but she did say that their Boost drink products don't contain ANY measurable level of gluten at all. She also told me that Boost drink products are made on separate equipment and are not shared... -
ARCHIVED Udi Coupon
sunnybabi1986 replied to Nor-TX's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
WOW!! This totally just made my day! My sister called me while I was out shopping and told me about it, I was so excited I wanted to go print it out immediately For some reason, the bread I'm buying seems to be really dry. I've gotten 3 bad loaves now, very dry and crumbly, falling apart when I try to eat it, not sure what's going on there? BUT I'm... -

ARCHIVED Tostitos
sunnybabi1986 replied to hollyres's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
Sadly, I've seen this on several items at Wal-Mart. My mom has gotten confused because she sees the "Naturally Gluten Free Food" label on the front and buys it for me and uses it in a recipe. Later I discover the can and the tiny words "May contain traces of wheat" on the back of the label...BOO Wal-Mart!! This was a terrible decision to include both phrases... -
ARCHIVED Walmart Great Value Hash Browns
sunnybabi1986 replied to ramsfan1's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I believe that by saying "May contain traces of wheat" they are actually just saying that it's made in factory with wheat products and could be cross contaminated. I think it's saying the same thing it used to, just in different words
