The Craverie in Kohler ,WI

The Craverie carries the Ceramic CaliBowls.. I never new what this store was when the buyer placed the order back in Aug. I called her to see if she had recieved the back ordered part of her order.. She filled me in to what type of store it is.. So cool!!! it is an inovative a café/ chocolate shop. She said,"the CaliBowls are in a small retail area of the store. If you are in Kohler WI go in and say "Hi " to Melanie,and try some of Craverie’s indulgences, including a variety of chocolates, pastries, sandwiches, desserts and gelato. And of course pick up some ceramic bowls for your indulgences at home.

Yummy Easy "Gluten free" meal

I didn't feel like cooking last night so I decided to do something quick and easy. I had all the ingredients on hand from Trader Joe's and all gluten free.

Brown rice tortilla
shredded cheddar cheese
spicy sausage
pizza sauce

Spread pizza sauce on the brown rice tortilla
sprinkle the cheese
and squeeze out pieces of the Trader Joe's spicy sausage
and place apart on top of the cheese.

Put the tortilla pizza on a cookie sheet and bake at 420' until golden brown.

I served it with pineapple slices and of course served them in a beautiful 5cup white ceramic CaliBowl. The kids loved their pizza and didn't even know the tortilla was brown rice:) They enjoyed their pineapple slices out of the one cup Del Mar CaliBowls.

We were all happy CaliBowl campers.

Do you shop at Vons?

Look for the CaliBowl at Vons stores in the Culinary section.

The CaliBowl is in Safeway

Visit the Culinary sections in some Safeway stores to get the CaliBowls for you next Super Bowl Party.

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.
