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
