This is a blog created to share information about gluten-free living in general and especially in Northern Utah. This is just getting started but it can go anywhere from here. :) I was tested for celiac and the test was negative but I am wheat intolerant. Sometimes the information I post will be made with sprouted products. This is not wheat/gluten free so if you do have celiac I would caution you on these products.

GF protein drink
I have been looking into using a protein drink. There is lots of different info out there about it. I spoke with a friend yesterday and she said she uses Muscle Milk. I looked it up and was pleasantly surprised to find this email out there...
Hi folks! I just got an email from Cytosport following an enquiry I made, and thought I'd share the answer with you. I love Muscle Milk because it's lactose free, but I wanted to make sure it was gluten-free also. Here was the reply:
Our Muscle Milk RTD’s are gluten free. Muscle Milk powder is gluten free except for the following flavors:
- Cookies & Crème
- Chocolate Banana Crunch
- Chocolate Malt
Sincerely,
Jeff
Hope that helps some of you

So...if you are looking for a GF protein drink...here's one to try. I am going to. :)

Zatarain's Products
I am back on the search for yummy gluten-free foods. Last week I decided I was going to attempt to make Monterey Chicken. FYI...it turned out WAY yummy! If you want the recipe, just ask me and I will tell you what I did. I was looking for a side dish and had heard that some of the Zatarain's rice mixes were gluten-free. I was thrilled to find out that several of them are. Today I did more research and found out per their website that they have 19 different gluten-free rice mixes. Their website also has gluten-free recipes. I am so happy! I am also attempting to cut down on my sugar consumption and sugar is incredibly low in these mixes as well.
Each time I find a new source for gluten-free items that are mostly or already prepared I get teary-eyed. It is so nice to find things that make my life a bit easier. I love cooking but I don't always have the time every single day to cook.
For more information on Zatarain's check out their website...
