I have been (mostly) gluten-free for nearly 4 years now. I am not celiac; however, I definitely have a gluten intolerance of some sort. I am able to make my own bread from scratch with minimal gut issues, which has allowed me to still remember what good bread tastes like. Because of this loophole, I think it makes me qualified to know what a good gluten-free product tastes like, and if it is truly comparable to the real thing. Also, I live in the middle of nowhere, where gluten-free items can be difficult to find. So anywayyyy there's my backstory and credentials- now here are some of my favorites that I have found at my local Target and Walmart!
