Gluten Free Salt Lake City

Ever heard of the phrase “food anxiety”? If you haven’t and are now gluten-free, especially if you’re Celiac, you will almost surely have experienced this type of stressor. Food anxiety relates to the stress caused by eating, especially when eating out. In this case, the burden is caused by being unsure if the food you have ordered or purchased, won’t make you sick.

With so many gluten-free pasta brands on the market today, how do you know which gluten-free pasta is best?The Answer: A lot of trial and error over the last 11 years with celiac disease.

Since pasta is such a popular dinner item in American families, it's bound to be something you look for an adequate replacement to after a celiac disease diagnosis. And I was no different.
But what I quickly learned about the pasta available back was that there were two options: rice or corn. It sort of made me hate pasta for a while, as nothing ever tasted like I hoped!

Thankfully, over the last decade, gluten-free pasta brands have improved dramatically. Other gluten-free grains, such as quinoa, red lentil, and even chickpea are now used and blended for delicious gluten-free pasta. And now, I'm happy to report I love eating pasta once more!

So which brands of gluten-free are the best? And how to they compare?

That's the tricky question! In this post, I'm going to share a little about how gluten-free pasta is made, where to buy it, and some of the top brands on the market today.

It's important before I begin this list to remind you that my taste buds are not your tastebuds. I'm going to share my honest opinions here about each brand. And if you disagree, that's okay! I'm sharing this list to help you make the most informed decisions in your weekly food shopping. I want to save you from buying products you end up hating and ensure you can replicate all of your favorite pasta dishes gluten-free, and lead you towards brands that are safe.
Here are eight of the most popular dried gluten-free pasta on the market today and how they compare: their ingredients, their gluten-free status (if they are certified GF or not), and their overall taste/texture. I've tried every pasta brand listed here on multiple occasions.
Let's take a look at these gluten-free pastas!

One of Greece's great things is that you can enjoy all of the islands surrounding the country too. Kefalonia may be an island that is only 781 square kilometers in size. Still, there is are plenty of things to do and places to visit. If you are looking for a great vacation spot, you can't go wrong here. However, do be mindful of the heat and exhaustion while exploring here. Make sure to be safe and pack water, sunscreen and juice shots for energy before you hit the hiking trails and explore the caves.

If you are visiting Greece, taking a trip to Kefalonia is recommended. Here are some of the best attractions to visit while there…

Three Different Types of Gluten-Free Menus

11/5/2020

You may be wondering what this topic is about and why there are different "types" of menus. You may see three different types of menus listed when you read reviews for a restaurant: gluten-free menu, a labeled menu, and a dedicated menu.

Gluten-Free Menu
A gluten-free menu is a menu that a restaurant puts together that only lists gluten-free offerings. This is

extremely helpful because when a server hands you a gluten-free menu, you don't have to ask what is gluten-free. Everything on that menu is gluten-free! That is a big plus when ordering because you don't have to ask the server what is OK to eat, and the server doesn't have to take time to check with the chef. Although this process is fine and I always encourage people to have the server double-check for safety. It's really nice not to have to go through this process and just choose something off a menu.
