LiveGfree Gluten Free Baked Chewy Bars Only Okay





I bought the liveGfree Baked Chewy Bars in Cocoa Loco flavor at Aldi's because of the low price. They are sold in a box of 5. The price was $1 less than the same number of Nature's Path bars. The bars are smaller yet denser than the Nature's Path Chewy Granola Bars (previously reviewed here). 

The liveGfree bars are more cake-like thus more of a dessert treat than the "health bar" texture of the Nature's Path bars.

Tastewise, the liveGfree Baked Chewy Bars in Cocoa Loco have a nice texture, but not as good a flavor as the Nature's Path. My taster preferred the granola-based Nature's Path.

Glutino Gluten Free Bread is Tasty and A GF Bargain




I was paying over $5 a loaf for gluten free bread. My local grocery store, Food Lion, began stocking Glutino bread in white and multigrain at $3 (and some change). Delighted with the cost savings, I was a convert.

Glutino Gluten Free bread is made from a potato, corn and rice flour blend. It is drier and more crumbly than wheat-based bread. To overcome these qualities, I add extra condiments and toast the bread.









My review of Glutino bread originally appeared in my Garden Lady blog.

Bisquick Gluten Free Pancake and Baking Mix has many delicious uses



Bisquick Gluten Free Mix is a ready-made substitute for flour. As described on the box, pancakes, shortcakes, waffles, pizza crust, and biscuits are easily made from the mix. 




My favorite uses of Bisquick Gluten Free Mix is as a breading to fry chicken and in a breakfast casserole (that I usually serve for dinner). To fry chicken, I put a cup of the mix in a plastic bag, add salt and pepper, and toss the chicken pieces in the mix.


Gluten Free Breakfast Casserole

Ingredients:

1 lb. browned and drained sausage or sliced sausage links
3 eggs
1 cup skim milk
1/2 cup Bisquick Gluten Free Mix
