My Gluten-Free Journey and Finding Really Good Bread [Gluten Free Coupon Inside!]

By Nicole Pyles


Having bread when you are eating gluten-free is a tough battle. I was lucky enough to get a variety of bread to review from Gluten Free Things and I can't wait to share my experience with you. More on that later though! 

I started going gluten-free a few years ago. I initially did it to support my mom who had realized she had a wheat and gluten allergy. Then when I avoided gluten with her, I realized some issues I had been battling went away. And voila! My gluten-free journey began.

The tough part about being gluten-free is that you want to try and find foods that agree with your system. It can be hard too. Things I never thought had gluten - do. Like some dressings, some spice blends, even some mustards! So shopping has become a careful experience. I read ingredients labels so closely now and google search my heart out when I am suspicious of a product having wheat or gluten.

The funny thing is though, I really miss bread. Like bread, bagels, rolls. In fact, I vividly remember being out at lunch time one day and I saw this woman outside a bakery hold up this really huge french bread roll. I can't even tell you the nostalgia I felt about seeing that.

Oddly, over time, it's gotten a lot easier to avoid things with gluten. Although I have learned recently that I am getting more sensitive to things that I once thought that I could eat! Like a certain brand of mac & cheese I can't eat anymore because I react to it! Bummer, you guys!

So while this blog isn't exclusively about food, and neither is this only a blog about my gluten-free journey, but I thought I'd put it out there. 

And you know what? There is good gluten-free bread out there. Recently I had the chance to try a variety of items from the site, GlutenFreeThings.com. They sent me a multitude of bread goodness to try. In fact, I haven't gotten through it all yet! But they have so much to offer for bread. I've tried their everything bagel, their cinnamon raisin bagel, and I also received English Muffins, pizza crust, and hoagie loafs. Bread goodness!







So far I've tried the bagels because I'm kind of on a bagel kick lately. And I can tell already the GlutenFreeThings products are what I'm looking for. The bagels were soft and toasted really well in the toaster.


Isn't this good stuff? I haven't had the chance to try out the pizza crust, but I'm really excited about my experience so far. I think this is an excellent site for bread. Best of all, I didn't even get a reaction from the bread at all. I feel like it's a place you can trust.  AND no holes in the bread (and for anyone who struggles to find the right gluten-free bread, this is an amazing thing. It's one thing to have a hole in the middle of a bagel but I know I hate seeing holes where there shouldn't be in gluten-free bread). 

So if you are gluten intolerant or you have Celiac, you must shop with GlutenFreeThings.com. Plus the prices there, really good. For most of the items I tried, it looks like the prices were roughly $5.99. That's the best prices I've seen in a long time! The downside is that shipping is a tad expensive. It uses FedEx Ground. But if you happen to be in one of their neighboring states, the shipping isn't as much! So that's a huge perk! They are located in Colorado and they have a dedicated gluten-free facility! That's an enormous perk to me.

I am also happy to announce to my readers that if you want to purchase bread from GlutenFreeThings.com you can use the coupon code FANCYTHAT20 for 20% off your order.

I received the above items in exchange for my honest review.

You'll Love the Hoboken Farms Pasta Sauce: Review & Giveaway

  I am such a huge fan of pasta! Anytime that is the main course, I'm a happy lady. However, making my own pasta sauce has never really been my thing. I know there are recipes out there. The truth is, though, there are also so many awesome jar sauces that I don't find a need to make my own. Recently, I had the chance to try out the Hoboken Farms pasta sauce. And wow! It's such a good experience. I can't wait to tell you about it. First of all, it has some major plusses right out of the gate: It is NON-GMO. That's a major factor for me, because I don't want genetically modified ingredients in my spaghetti. It's also low sodium and gluten-free. And another major perk, it's vegan! So it already has a lot of factors that make me like it right away. I had the chance to try their Marinara and Basil Marinara. What I love about both of these jars are the ingredients. You won't find anything weird about it. The marinara has just whole tomatoes, olive oil, oni

My Review of Nutty Novelties Nut Butters

  Does anyone else love nut butter as much as I do? It's such a healthy protein and great for breakfast or lunch, depending on how you like to enjoy yours.  Recently, I had the chance to try some by a brand called Nutty Novelties. I ended up choosing their simple blends, like Classic Peanut Butter, Pistachio Butter, Almond Butter, and Cashew Butter. I loved each jar and thought it was just simply delicious. However, they offer a ton of unique varieties that you don't want to miss out on. They have Honey Roasted Peanut Butter , Cinnamon Almond Butter , and  Dark Chocolate Almond Butter . That's only the beginning! They have a ton more jars, plus they're prices are really reasonable. Many of their jar's prices start at $4 a jar, making it a delicious and affordable price. The jars aren't very big but they go a long way because of how packed they are with flavor. What I really appreciate about this brand is that it's a small business and run by real people you
