Gluten free Anyone?

I have recently gone gluten free with my diet for health reasons. I was so impressed with some products that I tried from Whole Foods. So I thought I would share with the CaliNation.

Gluten Free Pizza Crust
Gluten Free White Cake
Gluten Free Muffin Mix
Theses are all the 365 brand from Whole Foods

Not only light, flaky and delicious but so easy to work with. The Gluten free product do require more prep time. Since I used the 12 cup BIG SUR CALIBOWL it was easy and fun. The kids actually liked these better than other brands,but promised me not to put them on a Gluten free diet:)

Look for more Gluten free recipes as I try new ones.

Thank you for you customer feedback!!!

Dear Simple Wave Team,

I LOVE the CaliBowl!
I purchased a set of two 1.5 cup bowls this summer (@Rooster Brothers, Ellsworth, ME) for my 2 year old son. He is so proud to be able to get his food onto his spoon without help from Mommy or Daddy. It makes snack and meal time so much easier for all of us! I have now purchased 3 more sets for friends and family. GREAT Product!!! Congrats!

Sincerely,
Judy Pinkham

Yuka: A root from Peru and a yummy dip to use in the Calibowls

I got this recipe from a good friend who lived in the Bay Area. She is originally from Peru and is now living back in Peru. It is always great to add an authentic dish to your meals.

Yuka is a root that not all stores carry i have found it at Safeway and food Max. you can also pick up a CaliBowl at Safeway"s culinary stores.

How to prepare:
Peel yuka root, cut into dipping size pieces.
boil water and boil until you can poke a fork through the pieces.
Drain pat dry. Put the pieces of Yuka on a cookie sheet and bake at 400" for until lightly brown.

Dipping sause to be used in a CaliBowl.

1 cup of evaporated milk, panela cheese from el mexicano or any other mexican market, 4 yolks (yellow part of the egg cooked) put the cheese in pieces in the blender, add the milk if you think it is too thick add more milk, add the eggs and blend. for a spicy dip add hot sauce to the blender.

Originally submitted at Toys R Us

Get the same no-spill functionality of the Calibowl with the CaliBowl Suction Bowl with Lid -White/Blue. It's a perfect feature for your toddler learning to self-feed. The suction foot keeps the bowl put, making it one less thing for your little one to worry about! The suction foot and lid make...


Amazing Bowl

By butterfly from Santa Barbara on 10/5/2009

 

5out of 5

Pros: Safe For Baby, Durable, Portable, Easy To Use, Compact, Easy To Clean

Best Uses: Toddlers, Snacks, Meals, special needs, Crawlers

Describe Yourself: Parent of Two or More Children

The suction really does work and the lip at the top of the bowl is a ginius design that has taken all the frustration of not being able to scoop food onto the utensil while my daughter is learning to feed herself. Thanks to the CaliBowl feeding time is a complete joy:)

The "Oprah Effect"

The CaliBowl is featured in the June 2009 issue. This is an amazing opportunity. When a product is featured on the Olist it turns to gold.... It's not just about getting web orders. It's about the exposure. Millions of consumers know about the CaliBowl now because of Oprah. This will lead to big orders from distrubutors and specialty kitchen stores.
