Kraft Mac & Cheese Gluten Free

Happy day! You can now buy Kraft Mac & Cheese Gluten Free.

I found mine at Target.

The instructions were easy to follow. Boil the noodles. Drain and return to the pot. Add butter or margarine and milk. Stir in the powdered cheese. Enjoy.

The cooked pasta had a great texture. The flavor was only very mildly cheesy. It actually looked like the picture on the box.

There are other packaged gluten free mac and cheese products available. Annie’s sells a number of different varieties including microwavable single cups that are easy to bring for travel or can be left in an office drawer for an emergency meal.

Of course, homemade mac and cheese is another option.

Gluten Free Watchdog Video

Tricia Thompson of Gluten Free Watchdog has posted a video summarizing her experience with testing foods for gluten over the last 16 years.

Good news: most foods tested ok. for those following a gluten free diet. The video includes a discussion of problematic foods and how to interpret ppm (parts per million) when choosing what to eat.

It’s a great review in just 30 minutes.

You can view the video on her website, with additional discussion, or here:

Life Cuisine Cauliflower Crust Pizza

I highly recommend this personal sized frozen pizza.

There’s the fun factor: Place the frozen pizza on the box turned inside out and 3 1/2 minutes of microwave magic produces gooey cheesy goodness.

Sure the crust could be crisper. Might be worth trying the alternate oven baking instructions. I chose to embrace the soft bready texture and folded the pizza, eating it as a sandwich.

The sauce has a pleasantly strong tomato flavor. The cheese is mild. And the cauliflower provided minimal vegetable essence to the crust.

The Life Cuisine line has frozen entrees for different diets. The only gluten free choices are the pizzas – three cheese or pepperoni.

I’ve seen these pizzas at Giant Eagle and Walmart.
