Guess what we found!!

When Staci and I were first married finding Gluten-Free foods seemed quite a challenge. we looked almost everywhere and were limited to 'Whole Foods' for our GF bread, cookies, etc. the longer we're married though, the more stores are catching on that gluten sensitivity is a very real problem. it's getting easier, but we've still got a long way to go. here's the back story:

a few weeks after our marriage the local Fry's grocery store started carrying GF flour, as well as chocolate chip cookies. several weeks after that Albertson's started carrying GF Betty Crocker cake mixes. about a month later still Safeway picked up the gluten free market and started labeling many products right on their shelves!

now many of you have sent in recipes, as well as blogs and other Celiac-friendly bits of advice. (keep em comin'!) but what got us excited more recently was that now most all Chex cereal is labeled "now Gluten Free" right on the box! very very cool. even Wal-Mart has the occasional GF Cookie mixes and things like that

but last night, oh we hit the jackpot. Fry's food & drug is now carrying loads of Gluten free stuff! take a look at the biggest surprises...


The GF cookies above taste a lot like Nilla Wafers™


that's right people. CHOCOLATE DONUTS!! (I had a pic of Staci eating it but she told me not to post it! .... guilty pleasure I suppose :P

and the biggest surprise....


Gluten Free (& Dairy free) Chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream! holy cow it's good. possibly better than the reg. cookie dough ice cream I've got in the freezer. I was so surprised that they made it at all. Staci was in heaven :)

moving on,

so, we'll gently skip over the whole Grand Canyon / Family reunion / Four Corners trip for now. as for the Gale Talent Show video of my mom & Aunt Brenda twirling their batons, Ky succesfully posted it on the Gale Blog for me. other than that we're just gearing up for the move!

Stay Tuned!
