Pamela's Products Vanilla Cake Mix

There are plenty of challenges when it comes to gluten free eating. You might miss your favorite cookies, crackers or pasta. If you have just started eating gluten free, you are lucky. If you have been eating gluten free for a while, check the aisles of the grocery store; you might be pleasantly surprised to see what's out there.

Quite often, pasta is one of those products people feel they can never have again. Try Bionaturae, Deboles, Tinkyada, and Ancient Harvest.

Don't worry about snacking; there are plenty of crackers for dipping. Some of the better brands are Mary's Gone Crackers, Glutino, and Blue Diamond Nut-thins.

Cookies vary in quality. Some of the better ones are Pamela's Products, Kinnickinnick, and Enviro Kidz. Also try locally produced Mariposa Baking Company, with items like the Cinnamon Biscotti, brownies, bagels and coffee cake.

If it's pizza or bread you crave, try Pamela's Products mixes or the Glutino pizza crust (usually in the freezer section).

This is only a highlight of gluten free products. If there's one worth mentioning, leave a comment with the brand, product and why you like it.
