Katz Gluten Free Blueberry Loaf


I am  BIG fan of blueberry muffins and well, just about anything blueberry. 
So you can imagine my excitement when I saw that Katz Gluten Free had Blueberry loaf bread. 
I immediately bought it and couldn't wait to try it out. 

The length of the loaf itself was kinda on the smaller side but still perfect for me. 
The inside of the bread was a combination between moist and dry, moist enough to the touch and taste but dry enough to crumble very easily. The dryness of this bread could of been because it was frozen but I am not sure exactly. 

The taste was spot on. 
If you shut your eyes, you wouldn't be able to tell if you were eating a blueberry muffin or if it was this amazing blueberry loaf.  It had the perfect amount of blueberries in it and It had me craving more and more. 

This would have been great to have tried with a hot cup of coffee but I unfortunately didn't think of trying it until now. Guess I will have to try it next time I purchase this. 

The crust on this bread is just perfect, it's texture and moisture is that of freshly baked, home made  banana bread, only it is blueberry instead. Something I didn't expect to experience since it is gluten free after all. 

Katz also has another flavored loaf called Lemon Poppy Loaf.

If it is anything like their blueberry loaf, I have to get my hands on some of this!


Once again this product blew my mind, how does Katz Gluten Free do such an amazing job?. 
There are a lot of horrible tasting gluten free options out there but then there are companies like
Katz which make products that make you forget you are even on a gluten free diet. 


I give this product a 5 out of 5 star rating.

Schar multigrain gluten free bread

This bread is one of the 2 brands I tried before I found Rudis bread. This Multigrain bread is harder and can break easy, I can only imagine how hard it will be after toasting it. The texture is very grainy and it's similar to eating stale bread. Schar Multigrain Bread has more of a wheat or whole grain taste but isn't as good. 
This bread has to be stored in the fridge to keep fresh. 

I give this bread a 3 out of 5 score

Smart & Delicious wraps

While shopping at the grocery store, I spotted these Smart & Delicious Wraps and had to try them. When I took them out of the bag, they were very dark brown but very moist. If you were to fold these wraps, they would probably have a tendency to break on you. I decided to make myself a cheese and meat quesadilla and used the microwave to cook it. After all of the ingredients inside were melted, I took it out of the microwave. When I went to cut it, I noticed the tortilla wanted to curl up and not stay together, even when the cheese was inside of it. 
Regular tortillas are A LOT better then these are with more of a floury taste, where as these wraps have more of a bitter corn taste. These wraps will do in a pinch but I have to say, I am not a huge fan. 
I made some quesadillas for my kids out of these wraps and they weren't fans either. 

I give these wraps 2 out of 5 stars

Rudi's multigrain gluten free bread


When I found out that I could no longer have regular bread, I was worried that I was going to have to say good bye to bread altogether, which meant, I could never have sandwiches again, no more peanut butter and jelly goodness or any grilled cheese. Lucky for me, Rudis bread tastes just like regular bread if not better and the best part is (It's gluten free). Before we stumbled upon this bread, I tried two other brands of bread and had horrible luck. This bread must be kept in the freezer to keep it fresh but once it is thawed out, it's moist and delicious. The after taste of this bread is that of Molasses and it's easily craved.
I recommend this bread to anyone who has Celiacs disease or is Gluten sensitive.  

I give this bread 4 out of 5 stars

Udi's gluten free white bread

Tried this bread out a few days ago and I found it to be a little tasteless and small. 
The bread had a hard time popping out of the toaster and my lunch meat fell over the sides because it was so small.  
This bread is on the harder side when both thawed and frozen but it does the job. 


I give this product a 3 out of 5 score.

Quinoa elbow noodles

My Mother in Law bought these for me to try out because I mentioned to her that I absolutely love the Quinoa Spaghetti noodles. I just made a dish with these noodles in for lunch today and boy was it divine. The noodles have more of a sandy texture to them but they have an amazing after taste. I made a macaroni and cheese dish with 2 different kinds of cheese, cut up broccoli and ground turkey. The dish was a hit with 2 of my 3 kids (One was being picky) & I myself ate 2 helpings, IT WAS GOOD!!
*Thinking about putting the recipe up here for all of you to enjoy, should I?*

 Never the less, I will be purchasing these noodles again. 
A BIG THANK YOU GOES OUT TO MY MOTHER IN LAW! 

I give these noodles a 5 out of 5 score.

Food For Life white rice gluten free bread

My Mom found a great sale on these at a store near her, so she bought them for me to try out.
This bread will do in a pinch but not your best choice. You have to toast this bread at least twice in the toaster to make it crispy and yummy enough to enjoy a simple sandwich. The bread crumbles very easily, so you need to make sure and be careful when trying to divide the slices. If you put this bread in the refrigerator to try and thaw before eating, it will most likely not help in the crumbling factor but will cook a little better in the toaster. The texture of this bread is definitely rice based and there is NO FLEXIBILITY to this bread, meaning that it cannot bend by any means. I have tried an egg salad sandwich, tomato grilled cheese and your regular meat and cheese sandwich out of this bread and all of them fell under my expectation for bread. This bread has a very strong taste and smell and it tends to over take what ever you put in between the slices, making it almost impossible to taste anything you put into or on your bread.
Needless to say, even though there was a good deal on this bread, I don't think it was completely worth it and that is probably why it was on sale. A big Thank you goes out to my Mom for thinking about me and trying her best to supply me with bread but this just didn't come up to the delicious standards I am used to in regular bread.

I give this bread a score of 1 out of 5

P.s. If you do decide to try this bread out, keep in mind that for best results and best taste, you may want to toast the bread in the oven or the toaster before applying anything to it/in it.

LiveGfree gluten free plain wraps

After some begging from both my husband and mother to pick up these wraps for me from ALDI'S when they go out an about, I finally received them. I couldn't wait to try them out. 

Let me first say, THESE WRAPS ARE HUGE. 
When I took one of these out, the first thing I noticed other then it's massive size was that it is much thinner then your original tortilla. 

I put some lunch meat and cheese on it and then rolled it. 
I found that it rolled up with ease-
 (which is quite nice after all, most gluten free products break when you try to bend or roll it.)

I then put it in a pan and placed it into the oven. 
You really don't have to turn up the heat to high or leave it in there for to long due to the fact that it is thinner, it tends to cook VERY FAST. 

I actually found the edges of my wrap got a bit brown due to me accidentally leaving it in the over for a little to long. 

I was then left with a crispy wrap which was very plain in taste. It didn't really have that aftertaste that you get after eating regular flour tortilla but was similar in texture. 
I noticed that this wrap tends to be a little more flakier but no overly. 

I like how in it's raw form, the taste isn't really overpowering and like I said above, is very plain. 

After doing a little research I found that these wraps contain less carbs then your regular tortilla. 
On the down side, these wraps contain quite a bit more sugar then flour tortillas. 
So even though you are getting less carbs by using these, you are ingesting more sugar. 

^That seems to be the common practice in gluten free products now days. 
The fact that they have to remove or not include wheat,barley, rye or any fillers, they feel the need to add extra sugar to make up for it. Unfortunately, we don't really need that!. 

Overall, I would purchase these wraps again. 

I give this product a 5 out of 5 star rating.

LiveGfree gluten free white bread



This is Aldi's Gluten free white bread and all I can say is WOW.
I have tried several gluten free breads and have even made my own (with the help of Bob Red's mill) bread in our bread maker but nothing comes close to this bread.

Usually when you think of gluten free bread, you think of a crumbly, rough textured, hard & unable to bend bread. This bread is soft to the touch (like regular bread), It is pliable and easy to bed (making it idea to wrap around hot dogs) and isn't any more crumbly then regular bread. This bread toasts perfectly and is the closest I have come in the 2 years I've been gluten free to regular tasting bread.

I am thoroughly impressed with this bread and will try my hardest to keep it stocked in my house at all times.
If you're looking for the perfect gluten free bread, look no further.
Aldi's LiveGfree gluten free white bread is the bread of choice.

I'm proud to give this product a 5 out of 5 star rating. 


Tried this bread before?.

*Note, Gluten free bread should be stored in the fridge and not left out on the counter because it tends to mold sooner due to not having as much preservatives in it and being more pure. *

Quinoa spaghetti noodles


I have tried several gluten free pastas in the past and this one seems to taste the best.   
Rice Pasta that is gluten free tends to taste like rice and have the consistency of it, which tends to not taste as good when in noodle form. Other brands that my family has tried have come up short because of their sticky consistency. 

  This brand is as close as you are going to get to the real spaghetti pasta because it tastes & smells the same, in fact- It's hard to tell the difference when you put it into a dish. 

This pasta is more slimy in taste (just like the gluten noodles) and doesn't have a tendency to stick together when you're cooking it or stick to your teeth like gum when you go to eat it. 

I will be buying more of this!!!! 


I give these spaghetti noodles a 5 out of 5 score.
