Jules Flour

My coworker made me some GF choc chip cookies recently and they were AMAZING. The texture was so similar to regular wheat flour cookies that I was shocked. Her secret? Jules flour. Apparently the recipe came from this website as well... check it out!

I 'Goose' We Better Start Looking at Vodka Labels :(

Word on the street is, many of our favorite vodka brands are distilled with wheat. So if you're getting ready to pop open a jar of olives after a long work week, make sure you check your ingredients label on your favorite vodka brand.

Note: Distillation processes can eliminate the wheat most of the time. But not always. So when in doubt, here's a list I pulled from a fellow GF blogger, gfreefoodie.com :

Vodkas distilled with:

Wheat: Stolichnaya (blend), Grey Goose, Ketel One, Snow Queen, Pearl, Van Gogh (blend), La Chance, Vox, Polar Ice, Absolut, Trump, X-Rated (blend), *Three Olives is also Wheat-distilled, but declares itself to be Gluten-Free on the Three Olives website
Rye: Belvedere
Barley: Finlandia, Koskenkorva
Corn: Smirnoff, SF Vodka “Baker Beach”
Potato: Chopin, Teton Glacier, Monopolowa, Vikingfjord, Luksosowa, Blue Ice
Grape: CĂ®roc, Bombora, DiVine, SF Vodka “China Beach”
