Shout out to the Ninja City guest who follows our website and recommended to the owners to reach out to us! And thank you to Dylan for making contact!

Here’s the communication from Dylan at Ninja City!

We have a large following of patrons with celiac disease due to the menu offerings that are GI friendly.
We also are the resident caterer for all of the musicians at Jacobs Pavilion. Many require us to be gluten free.


Our full menu is available online at www.ninjacity.com. Here, we list items that are gluten free or can be made gluten free.
I would be happy to email a copy of our menu  and more details if you have questions.”
Thank you,

CAPPELLO’S @ Heinen’s

When I was last at Heinen’s the Cappello’s line of products included pizza and pastas. You will find their products in the frozen food section. If you find more items please let us know!

Our household sampled the cheese and the pepperoni pizza and the lasagna noodles.

The pizza was super tasty and the crust was crispy! We’ve tried numerous frozen pizza options and have found these to be some of the most acceptable for a quick home meal.

The lasagna noodles were totally extraordinary! We made a vegetarian lasagna as we were having non-meat eating guests for dinner. They loved the pasta and had no idea it was gf. Best of all unlike other lasagna noodles that we need to par-cook or pre-cook these are used as is right out of the box.

Let us know what you find, share ideas on what you make!

RP’s PASTA @ Wholefoods

Over the past month we’ve tried all the items in RP’s pasta line and found them all to be amazing!

You will find them in the cooler with the cheeses, sauces and fresh pastas!

We used the tortellini served up in our bowls from a pot of chicken vegetable soup. I would not add the pasta to the soup directly since it will overcook. Because these pastas are not dried or frozen they cook up quickly, – under 5 minutes. Cook the pasta, add it to your bowl, top with your soup or sauce.

We tried the pastas with traditional pesto and artichoke lemon pesto both were perfect.
