Product Review: Udi's Gluten Free Buns and Ancient Grain Breads

Udi's Gluten Free is launching their NEW line of Hamburger Buns, Hot Dog Buns and two varieties of Ancient Grains Breads this month... just in time for your summer BBQs!  I have been waiting for what seems like a very long time for Udi's Gluten Free to make buns; I figured that since their bread is soft, delicious and doesn't need toasting that their buns would be superior to others on the market.  I was right.


My family sampled Udi's new gluten free buns and Udi's new gluten free Ancient Grain Breads and they were a hit!  My daughter enthusiastically announced "I love Udi's Hamburger Buns" at the dinner table after she tried them; I especially liked them toasted on the grill.  I was impressed by how soft Udi's Gluten Free Hot Dog Buns were, although I was lucky to get a taste because my teenage son (who is a hot dog fanatic) ate almost all of them in a matter of days. :)  


Udi's Ancient Grain Breads are moist, full of earthy flavor and although these breads do not need to be toasted to be enjoyed I happen to think they are exceptionally tasty when toasted; it seems to enhance the flavor of the grains.  Udi's Gluten Free Millet-Chia Bread and Omega-Salba Bread offer healthy elements such as protein, fiber, vitamins and anti-oxidants. Try them for yourselves... there is no other gluten free bread on the market like them!  

Udi's is having a big Facebook promotion... If you “like” Udi’s you will get a $1 off coupon and if you tell three friends about Udi’s you'll be entered to win a weekly prize and a $500 gift card!  Woo hoo!

Encourage the Girl Scouts to Offer Gluten Free Cookies - Sign the Petition Today!

I found this link to sign a petition to encourage the Girl Scouts of America to sell a gluten and allergen free Girl Scout Cookie.  I am a former Girl Scout leader and an advocate for my daughter who has Celiac disease; I find it heartbreaking to see her missing out on the simple pleasures of life such as enjoying Girl Scout Cookies with her friends, so I was happy to sign the petition.

Please follow this link to sign the petition... 100,000 votes are needed by the end of May and there are currently less than 500 signatures.

Please post this link to the petition on your gluten free blogs, Facebook and Twitter pages to help spread the word.  Together we can make a difference!

My family sampled the tasty blueberry donuts last weekend; we thought they had a fresh blueberry flavor and enjoyed the yummy blueberry glaze as well.  We don't eat donuts on a regular basis, but there are no artificial colors or flavors in this donut so I felt good about serving them to my family as a special treat.  In addition to being gluten free, Kinnikinnick's donuts do not contain preservatives, dairy, soy or nuts.

Kinnikinnick’s seasonal blueberry donuts will be available starting April 1^st exclusively on their website or by calling toll free 1-877-503-4466.

Printable $1.00 Off Coupon for Wolfgang Puck Gluten Free Organic Soups

Wolfgang Puck has been busy redesigning some of his delicious organic soup recipes so that they are gluten free!  Better yet, Wolfgang Puck is offering Gluten Free Taste of Home readers a chance to print a $1.00 off coupon so you can try his gluten free soups for yourselves.  Wolfgang Puck soups usually retail for approximately $2.49, so this is a fantastic savings opportunity!

Be sure to share the link to this post with your gluten free friends so they can take advantage of this limited time coupon offer as well!

My daughters and I had the opportunity to sample Wolfgang Puck's gluten free Tomato Basil Bisque, Signature Tortilla and Free Range Chicken with White & Wild Rice soups.  My favorite is the Signature Tortilla Soup; the flavor reminds me of tamales, which I love!  My teenage daughter is a big fan of the Tomato Basil Bisque; she appreciates the chunks of tomato and the fresh sweet flavor of the basil.  My youngest daughter prefers the Free Range Chicken with White & Wild Rice; she enjoys the homemade taste of the broth and the nutty taste of the wild rice.

I will definitely buy Wolfgang Puck's gluten free soups again... especially with the generous $1.00 off coupon! 

Thanks Wolfgang!

The KIND Bar folks are starting a "green" promotion with Whole Foods Markets on April 6; they are going to have wheelbarrows, rakes and shovels in all of the Washington (and most of Oregon) stores which will be full of KIND cases and will support local community gardens. The gardening equipment will be donated to the gardens at the end of the month.  To top it off, KIND Bars will be on sale at participating stores all month! Woo Hoo! 

KIND Bar demo folks will educate shoppers on the local gardens and Whole Foods and KIND employees will be joining forces to volunteer their time in the gardens during the month of May.  Love it!
