Chebe
Our favorite brand for so many things: We make mini sandwich rolls, pizza
crust, breadsticks, garlic bread and mini calzones with their mixes. Their thin
pizza crusts and breadsticks are wonderfully seasoned with herbs, and our
whole family loves them. We also enjoy their cinnamon rolls (drizzled with
frosting, of course) for school and church breakfasts. Chebe products are
very easy to make and to work with, are reasonably priced and we love the
taste! See their website for a bunch of recipes using their awesome mixes.
Mary's Gone Crackers
Our family and many of our relatives have become huge fans of Mary's. Their
crackers have a very unique, crispy crunch and fabulous taste which we all
love. They are great with cheese, of course, and are not fragile like so many
other G-F crackers out there. They have a wonderful texture and are very
flavorful, with our favorite kinds being original and herb. Mary's crackers are
made with all organic ingredients and are made in the U.S.A. I also crumble
them over my salads, in lieu of croutons, and they actually also sell boxes of
"just crumbs" for such a purpose, or for use in various recipes. Their sea
salt "sticks & twigs" are also great, which we enjoy dipping in hummus,
french onion dip or cream cheese.
Nature's Path
Both of my gluten-free daughters have 2 favorite cereals made by this eco-
friendly company: Honey’d Corn Flakes and EnviroKidzs’ Peanut Butter
Panda Puffs. Theyalso enjoy Leapin' Lemurs and Koala Crisp from time to
time. Even though some mainstream cereals are G-F, both of my daughters
prefer Nature's Path cereals. Since there are so many things they can't have
on a G-F diet, we enjoy watching them be able to eat their favorite cereals
every morning. Envirokidz Organic's flavored rice bars also make great
snacks for kids that you can bring anywhere.
Pamela's Products
Our favorite dessert mixes by far. Everyone who has ever tried it loves their
cake/cupcake mixes, unbelievably delectable dark chocolate frosting, and
moist brownies. We make the best chocolate chip walnut cookies,
pancakes and muffins with the recipes on their baking & pancake mix, and
awesome bread and pie crust from their bread mix. We make ice cream
sandwiches with their already-made cookies and send mini cookies in for
Morgan's treats at school and church. Check out Pamela's website which
has many wonderful recipes, and sign up for their electronic newsletters,
which often run easy giveaways of their products.
Schar
Our whole family loves their pasta. Our favorite kinds are spaghetti, fusilli &
penne, which are great with olive oil, garlic, parmesan cheese and
bruschetta or sauteed veggies. And of course their pasta is great with good
ol' sauce and cheese, or just butter! Our daughters love using their tiny
anellini in our homemade soups. If we are in a pinch for a meal, we make
french bread pizzas and garlic bread from their par-baked sub rolls and
baguette rolls, and we enjoy their crunchy breadsticks and cheese bite
crackers (the closest thing you'll find to fish crackers!) We are also big fans
of their wafer cookies, and use their bread crumbs in many recipes. Schar's
website is full of resources for gluten-free living. Check out their mascot's
website for kids which has some really cute recipes and activities for Celiac
kids: 123milly.com
Snyder's of Hanover
I have always been a big fan of this company, but got away from it for a few
years, thinking I'd never have another Snyder's pretzel for the rest of my life. I
was thrilled to discover that they had created their own gluten-free pretzel
sticks, which everyone in my family loves and eats now. They are low in fat,
crisp and buttery tasting and are the only G-F pretzels that I know of that are
made in the U.S.A. We also enjoy Snyder's EatSmart Naturals Multigrain
tortilla chips, which are thick enough to use as a cracker and also taste
great on their own or dipped. Both of those products are certified gluten-free.
We also like their Grande Nacho tortilla chips which are the closest thing
we've found to Doritos, as well as Grande Salsa Limon which are a bit
spicier but equally yummy.
Udi's
Udi's has quickly become a favorite brand for my daughter and myself. I just
started hearing about them this past fall (after the book's launch) and was
happy when I finally found their products in stock at Wegmans stores. Their
white sandwich bread is perfect for any cold sandwich, and also makes
incredible grilled cheese sandwiches. It holds up well and tastes great.
Their double chocolate muffins are amazing, and their tasty pizza crusts are
a nice consistency and are great to have in the freezer for last minute needs.
Morgan's favorite breakfast treat is Udi's cinnamon raisin bread. All in all:
Wonderful products that we're thankful to be able to enjoy on a regular basis!
Wegmans
This store is a dream come true for Celiacs. They label all of their store
brands with a gold G-F logo and have a large G-F section in their Nature’s
Marketplace. Download and print their G-F product list from their website,
which lists all of their products throughout the store in printed form. Sign up
to receive their "fresh news" emails, which include the "Celiac meal of the
week." On their website you will find videos and information about the G-F
diet, shopping and cooking. Wegmans also offers classes on G-F cooking
and grilling. They support local Celiac walks and support groups. They have
made our life so much easier.....I can't say enough about them!
Jules Gluten Free Flour
I have tried many all-purpose gluten free flours over the past few years and
they all pale in comparison to Jules. Everything I have made with it has
turned out perfectly, it leaves no aftertaste like so many other flours, and it
gives everything a beautiful consistency and wonderful taste. You can find
great recipes and occasional free e-books on her website as well.

*Note to parents: G-F means gluten-free. These really are our family’s favorite brands, after much trial and error, yet please note that this is not a guarantee
that you will love them as much as we do. But hopefully this will save you time and money as you transition your child into his or her new gluten-free diet.
See individual companies' websites for more information on these products and for recipes using their products. Good luck and stay positive!
