Target Halloween Allergen Guide 2016

Found a display in the Halloween candy area of Target with a tear off sheet titled: 2016 Halloween Allergen Guide. Click the link to see the guide at the Target website.

The Guide states: “The allergens listed for the 2016 candy items below have been confirmed by our manufacturers, and listed in their ingredient statement.”

The items are separated into 3 categories: those free of listed allergens (milk, soy, egg, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, gluten), those which contain milk and/or soy (but no gluten), and those free of gluten (with no designation of other allergens).

Shopping for (and enjoying) Halloween candy will definitely be easier this year.

Thanks, Target!!!!!!!!

Honey Bunches of Oats – Chocolate – Gluten Free

I was wandering the supermarket and came upon Post Honey Bunches of Oats Chocolate flavored which was labeled gluten free.

Only the chocolate flavor is gluten free and the ingredients note “THIS PRODUCT USES GLUTEN FREE OATS”.

The cereal is tasty and not too sweet and has a crunchy texture even after sitting awhile in the milk. And chocolaty milk at the bottom of the bowl is irresistible.

ngb. Gluten Free Lager

Found this gluten free beer at Trader Joe’s. $1.17 + tax for a single bottle.

Ingrediants are water, sorghum, rice, hops and yeast. Brewed and bottled by Minhas Craft Brewery in Wisconsin. Seems to be a Trader Joe’s private label brand.

So what does it taste like? To my uneducated palate it tastes like beer.

This lager gets mixed reviews online. I saw a funny comment that a Trader Joe’s clerk had said that ngb stands for “not good beer”.

I enjoyed it. Especially at that price. I wouldn’t make a special trip, but I’d get it again when I’m next at Trader Joe’s.

Mama Mary’s Gluten Free Pizza Crusts

Here’s one of my favorite finds at Marc’s: Mama Mary’s Gluten Free Pizza Crusts

The 2 pack sells for $2.73 and each 7″ crust has 220 calories. They are certified gluten free. Marc’s sells them in the aisle with the other pizza making supplies.

They are easy to make. Just brush the crusts with olive oil, add your favorite toppings and bake for 5 1/2 to 8 minutes.

I’m a traditionalist and use tomato sauce, mushrooms and whatever cheese I have handy. The crust is dense and chewy without the usual gluten free crumbs.

But I also bake the crusts and use them as flatbreads for sandwiches.
