Congratulations to this month’s Food Faves winner, Karen Schmidt. In May, we celebrated all our gluten-free offerings, and Karen was happy to find a new gluten-free flour that she adores.
I’m not gluten-intolerant, but I like to try these flours sometimes just to feed myself something besides wheat. So next time, it’ll be Gluten-Free Mama, which has the added attraction of being a small company from nearby Polson, Montana. Keep the Food Faves entries coming in — every month we give the lucky winner up to five of his or her absolutely favorite food from the grocery department, for FREE. Why couldn’t it be you?

Fave Food: Gluten-Free Mama's Coconut Blend Flour By Karen Schmidt I found out in October that I'm gluten-intolerant. One of your staff members, who's also gluten-intolerant, told me that this is her favorite flour. It is now mine as well! It's GREAT for pancakes, waffles (our favorites are pumpkin and blueberry), sweet breads and cakes. I just made my son a SpongeBob cake for his 5th birthday and made it gluten-free so I could have a piece. It was DELICIOUS! As good, if not better, than last year's gluten-full cake. The texture was soft and moist, and the flavor was that of any typical vanilla cake. Other adults couldn't believe that it was gluten-free, and the kids devoured it. YUM!!! (Thank you, Elisha!) |
