Blue Diamond Nut-Thins are Great Tasting Crackers




My family is pretty loyal to this cracker. It's the first we tried of the gluten free variety. They come in different flavors: Cheddar Cheese Almond, Smokehouse Almond, Country Ranch Almond, Almond, Hazelnut and Pecan.

The plain Almond Nut-Thins is the way to go in this household, and one taster prefers the texture of Nut- Thins to the Nabisco Rice-Thins.

Nut-Thins are made from rice flour, potato starch, and almonds. They are delicious and salty as a between meal snack or served with cheese and meats.

Chex Gluten Free Cereal is Available in Many Flavors



Reducing or eliminating gluten is overwhelming in the beginning. There are a few products that make this daunting task easier. Chex Cereal is one of the products. Chex makes several varieties of gluten free cereal, and, they are not premium priced like most GF products. They are priced the same as other breakfast cereals. Thanks General Mills for not taking advantage.

There are varieties for everyone in the family. My husband likes the Honey Nut to replace the Cheerios he has switched from. My son likes the Vanilla flavor for snacks and breakfast. I like the plain Rice Chex with sliced banana and Almond Milk for breakfast. When I'm out of bananas, I'll treat myself with the Vanilla flavor. The Chocolate flavor is great for those chocolate cravings.

I pack a small bag of Rice Chex for a between-meal snack. It makes a great base for a trail mix-just add nuts and raisins.

Nabisco Gluten Free Rice Thins Are Good Tasting Crackers!




It's good to see a cracker stalwart like Nabisco enter the Gluten Free market. Made from rice flour, these crackers are tasty. They are available in many flavors, but my family prefers the plain white rice original. The brown rice variety comes in White Cheddar, Sea Salt and Pepper, and Sweet Barbeque flavors. They are good for serving with cheese or meats as well as solo duty as a snack.

They compare favorably with Blue Diamond's NutThins, but without the almonds.
