*Chex* Crispy Bars
Josh was craving rice crispy bars tonight so we went to the grocery store to pick up the ingredients, which I assumed to be gluten free, only to discover that Rice Krispie cereal contains malt extract... BUMMER! We scoured the cereal aisle for a good alternative and settled on Rice Chex (my new staple cereal), which is labeled gluten free.
Josh was a bit skeptical, but it turns out the Chex cereal creates a killer rice crispy bar! The larger cereal pieces offer more crunch and is totally satisfying. Yay!!

Gluten-Free bread=1, Caitlin=2!!!
After my horrific gluten-free bread experience last week, I was feeling quite discouraged that I would never have a good sandwich again in my life. I decided to head down to Eau Claire, Wisconsin's local co-op Just Local Food, and met a very nice ex-baker now gluten intolerant employee. He directed me to two types of bread: Our Daily Foods, LLC "Pauls white sandwich bread" and The Green Bakery "sorghum bread".
The Green Bakery is located south of Wheeler Wisconsin, and provides freshly baked bread as well as pre-cooked frozen bread for the freezer. I have only tried their sorghum bread, but the also offer basic brown, chickpea and millet. While the bread size is small (about the size of a large deck of cards), the sorghum bread is delicious fresh out of the toaster and is great sandwich bread.
Our Daily Foods, LLC is a husband and wife team which specializes in gluten-free items. Their "Paul's white sandwich bread" is an uncooked loaf which is kept in the freezer and requires 3-8 hours to thaw and rise out of the freezer. This bread really gives you the whole baking experience with the smell of delicious warm white bread right out of the oven. While this is marketed as sandwich bread, Lara and I just ate it with butter and jam as an amazing breakfast treat!
Both of these breads have given me hope for my gluten-free future, and I hope you all get to try these amazing products!
