20 yrs ago I had to go gluten free for health reasons. As an Italian I cried at the loss of all the foods I loved. GF has come a long way! Here are my go to's for everyday life. Buon Appetito!

Are you knew to Gluten Free (GF) or are wanting to widen your horizons without spending a ton of cash on products that might suck? Walmart is one of the most affordable stores for the GF person. Over the last 20 years I have tried them all and these ...
panko or seasoned you can't go wrong
Gluten Free Bread Crumbs
If you are keto then this is for you. This with fresh lion's mane mushrooms makes the most amazing ‘crab’ cake!
Pork King Good Pork Rind Crumbs
Read labels! Not all seasoning packets are GF.
McCormick® Original Taco Seasoning
Can be used instead of GF soy sauce
GF Tamari
In my humble opinion the tortilla chips with lime, the Churro strips and the Fuego are the best. Try the fuego with a little cream cheese!
Siete Foods Chips
Again, read labels! Not all flavored rices are safe.
Goya Mexican Rice
The Sweet Stuff
It's a crime that we can't enjoy GS cookies but that is where Goodie Girl comes in! The closest thing we're going to get. They're not too gritty and at a great price as well.
Goodie Girl Fudge Striped Cookies
Honestly, why wait for GS season when you can have these all year long.
Goodie Girl Mint
There is no other competitor in the market that can come close to these. Period.
Gluten Free Vanilla Wafers
Delicious. Not gritty and some say better than the original.
Gluten Free Oreos
The best in their line of offerings
Siete Mexican Shortbread Cookies
Really good!
Schar Wafers
In the frozen section. You can't go wrong with a majority of their products.
Katz Soft Pretzel Nuggets
What I love about these is that you can eat them right out of the freezer or let them thaw to room temp. Either way the texture and taste are like regular donut holes.
Glazed Donut Holes
If you need a ginger snap or chocolate crust and you can't find one in the frozen section use the cookies.
Gluten Free
Bread & Crackers
If you are lucky enough to have this in your area run and get ALL of the flavors. They are top tier products. You can also find them on amazon. Whenever I am in Montana I stock up.
Franz Bakery
The closest thing you are ever going to get to a ritz cracker!
Lance Gluten Free Original Crackers
I like these but be warned they absolutely do not break in the middle.
A Colorado based company that makes a quality product. The Mountain White is the only flavor that is a full slice. Not gummy and if Franz isn't available this is the next best option.
Canyon Bakehouse
This makes the most spectacular French Toast! I can't believe Walmart carries this brand. It is to die for!
FRANZ GLUTEN FREE BRIOCHE BREAD
Sides
Making dinner every night sucks. I said it. Sometimes you need a short cut to round out the meal Here are mine.
Here me out, sometimes making this dish from scratch just can't happen. This is an amazing alternative.
Idahoan® Scalloped Potatoes
Holy hell worth every penny. You can eat this cold out of the fridge. Finding this in stores is hit and miss so I've added the Amazon link.
Gluten Free Mac & Cheese
As good as it's going to get besides Beecher.
Annies GF Mac & Cheese
Noodles
A great alternative to rice
Thai Kitchen® Gluten Free Stir Fry Rice Noodles, 14 oz
Substitute for rice in your stir frys or use in your ramen!
Rice Ramen
Breakfast/Snacky Foods
The GF breakfast world is full of products. Not all are good. Here are my tried and trues from Walmart.
Not grainy in the slightest unlike some other brands.
Gluten Free Pancake Mix | Bob's Red Mill Natural Foods
Great granola without any sneaky ingredients and at a great price! I love to stick this in my high protein yogurt.
Purely Elizabeth
The PB&J are the best. A great snack while on the go, good in lunch boxes and honestly with milk.
The GFB bites
I have never had a reaction to this yummy cereal. I like to mix the cinnamon with the rice,
Cinnamon Chex Cereal
The best out there.
King Arthur Gluten-Free Pancake Mix
Baking
GF flour has come a long way.
Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1-to-1 Baking Flour
The only brand better than King Arthur's is Namaste. You can serve this to anyone without worry.
Gluten-Free Cake Mix
Just a tad better that Bob's. A staple in my house.
