2. Gluten Free Cookbook: Small Plates & Sweet Treats, The Gluten Free Table, and Gluten Free Baking for the Holidays are a few of the newer ones.
3. Kitchen Scale: For anyone who's into baking from scratch, get ready to make their lives SO. MUCH. EASIER. (For more on baking by weight, read this blog post by Gluten Free Girl. Can also gift her cookbook!)
4. Gluten Free Baking Mix: I'm dying to try Cup for Cup, and it just so happens to be on Gilt Taste right now. (Others I've been really impressed with are The Pure Pantry, Better Batter, and Heartland Gourmet.)
5. Every Flavor of Chex Ever: (<---- SANTA I WANT THIS.) Feel free to laugh at this suggestion. Come back to me after your recipient bear tackles you in a fit of glee.
2. Gluten Free Subscription Box: Why hello, gift that keeps on giving. There are a few gluten free subscription services on the market, so you have your pick - Tasterie, GFreely, Healthy Surprise, and Savorfull have all received positive reviews.
3. Gluten Free Magazine: Surprising amount of options here! Easy Eats (digital only), Delight Gluten Free, Gluten Free Living, Simply Gluten Free, and Living Without
4. Xanthan Gum: Shit's expensive, but often necessary. Pair this with the kitchen scale and you're good to go!
5. Mama's Gluten Free Cake Balls: My mom ordered these for the holidays last year and they were unbelievably gluten-y tasting (this is a good thing). Definitely a treat for Celiacs who missed out on the cake ball/pop craze. Order by 12/15!
6. Zyliss Julienne Peeler: If you STILL need a reason to get this, I shall defer you to this post. (Makes a great stocking stuffer!)
Cup4Cup should be a gift for every holiday, birthday, Labor Day -- whatevs. Awesome list!
ReplyDeleteI'm dying to try it - glad to hear it got your thumbs up!
DeleteGreat post! :) Really enjoyed reading it - so many GREAT ideas! Wish this would have been around years ago! HA! I have tried the C4C flour... and I think I like Jules Gluten Free better. Have you tried hers? I'm excited to try some of your suggestions! THANK YOU!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! It was really fun to put together, so I'm glad you like it :) I haven't tried C4C or Jules Gluten Free yet, but it sounds like I'll have to have myself a little bake-off. Have a great holiday!
DeleteOne day my dad came back from the store and said "Chex was on sale." I of course asked "How many did you buy?!?!?!" all excited. Sadly the answer was one. He just did not understand.
ReplyDeleteHahahaha.. one of each kind at least?? C'mon, Dad. Hope Santa brings you boxes and boxes and boxes of Chex, among other things :)
DeleteI was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in the late seventies when I was in my late twenties and it's been extremely difficult to live with but I am so pleased to say that since going gluten-free a little over a year ago I rarely have any discomfort. I can sit through meetings, concerts, church, etc. without worrying about having to run to the bathroom. It is good to finally feel like "normal". It is a discipline and I have had a few episodes where I've accidentally eaten the wrong food like these past few weeks and I really did suffer. But, all in all, it has been life changing for me.
