Great Article: Gluten-Free Grilling Prep!

With summer approaching and pool-side grilling ramping up, it's always good to reminder ourselves of the tips and tricks for attending such gatherings. If you are Celiac or gluten-free it is of utmost importance to ensure that food is gluten-free, there is no cross-contamination and that you prepare before arrival!

Great Gluten-Free Grilling

MISSION, KS, Apr 26, 2012 (MARKETWIRE via COMTEX) -- (Family Features) Cookouts, picnics and barbecues mean sharing food and good fun with family and friends. For those living gluten-free, whether due to dietary restrictions or personal choice, these gatherings can cause added stress, as finding foods they can eat may prove difficult. Likewise, gluten-free eaters may worry they'll be perceived as picky or difficult.

But with today's great tasting gluten-free options, such as cookies and brownies, hotdog and hamburger buns, and even pizza crusts, gluten-free individuals can now join in the hot-off-the-grill goodness.

Gluten-free breads, including hamburger and hotdog buns, have come a long way over the past few years. In fact, makers like Udi's Gluten Free Foods are leading the way in making gluten-free products that taste just as good, if not better, than their gluten-filled counterparts. That means whether you're noshing on a hamburger or a hotdog, you'll have the freedom to choose a delicious gluten-free bun to wrap around your favorite cookout fare.

Hosting your own backyard barbeque? Here are some simple tips to make gluten-free grilling deliciously easy and safe for all your guests:

        
        --  Always check the labels. Gluten shows up in some surprising places,
            including marinades, condiments and even some processed meats.
        --  Many grilling side dishes are naturally gluten-free, so set out plenty
            of potato salad, grilled vegetables, corn on the cob, melon and other
            fruits, and baked beans.
        --  Grill any gluten-free foods first -- that way you'll avoid the
            possibility of cross-contamination with foods that do contain gluten.
            You can also grill individual meals inside foil or parchment packets
            and prevent cross-contamination that way, too.
        --  If you're going to someone else's party, bring your own crackers and
            snacks, and even your own gluten-free buns.

G-Free and the Austin Marathon

This weekend marks the Austin Marathon and Half Marathon for 2012! Last year I decided to take on the half marathon to raise money for a local charity, Colin's Hope. Although I love their cause and wanted to run with them again this year, my MBA distracted me from fundraising and volunteering so I'm on my own. Many told me that after I ran a half for the first time (last year) that I would be driven to run the full 26.2 next...that did not happen. So, I plan on embarking this weekend on 13.1 miles with a fresh new playlist.

They tell you to carbo-load the evening before (okay maybe just eat a healthy meal full of vitamins/minerals but I prefer the excuse to have carbs) so my plan is to venture over to Brick Oven on 35th to have some of their fantastic gluten-free pasta, a Caesar salad and maybe a glass of wine if I'm feeling confident in the amount of water I'd forced down beforehand. After getting nice and full of energy I'll get a good night's sleep and wake up bright and early.

Gu is the preferred brand of energy snack for runners, and I've found that 24 of their items are gluten-free (almost all!). You can find the gluten-free items here. I have some Gu Chomps ready and waiting for me. If I'm lucky I'll then be able to find a group of runners to join me for lunch and a mimosa to celebrate our success! I wish everyone good luck and am determined to finish in less than 2.5 hours :)

Dell Social Innovation Challenge: Support Me!

So I've decided to enter my project (G-Free in the City) in the Dell Social Innovation Challenge. It's goal to support social innovation in various categories across the globe. I'm competing in the health and food categories with my idea to make life easier for all of us who have to handle a gluten-free special diet on a daily basis. Check it out!

Sprouts "Gluten-Free Jubilee" through Feb. 1st

Gluten-Free Jubilee

Sprouts has built a loyal following of customers who seek gluten-free products – 
either because they or their family members suffer from Celiac Disease or other 
wheat-related allergies, or because they have joined the growing legion of 
people who simply believe that a diet with fewer gluten products is better. And 
for all of you, we offer our big gluten-free sale January 18-February 1, with 
25% off of more than 3,000 marked products throughout the store.




Long ago, we began tagging gluten-free products on our shelves. This is harder 
than it sounds. Some manufacturers claim that their products are gluten-free, 
and may even state that on their packaging. But the proof, as they say, is in the 
(wheat-free) pudding. Our buyers go one step further, and will not mark a 
product with a gluten-free tag unless the ingredient list meets our standards and
the facilities used to produce the products are specifically set up for gluten-free 
conditions.




Conversely, there are many products around the store that are gluten-free – 
they simply aren’t packaged in such a way that allows them to make that claim. 
This is especially true of many fresh foods.




That’s why the Gluten-Free Jubilee is such an important event. It’s a great 
opportunity for you to learn more about the ever-expanding supply of gluten-free 
products, and to save a few “wheaties” along the way.
