I tried gluten-free foods. Lots of them. This is the first year the mammoth NRA show has been home to a gluten-free pavilion, packed with 33 purveyors of gluten-free breads, crackers, baked goods, pastas and even beer (made from sorghum — and it’s surprisingly tasty.)

Gluten allergies are becoming more common, but it is one of the easiest ingredients to stay away from without affecting your overall health or diet. In fact, you are likely to improve your diet, because most foods with gluten are processed.
What exactly is gluten? A mixture of two proteins, present in cereal, grains and wheat, gluten is responsible for the elastic texture of dough. Some people are unable to digest it, hence a gluten allergy (or celiac disease). Luckily, numerous store bought foods now come gluten free. When you have gluten allergy, the main things to stay away from are wheat, rye and barley, though gluten is often unassumingly present in numerous foods. (If you suspect you might have an intolerance, you can ask for a complete gluten intolerance test at the doctor – or simply eliminate foods with gluten to see if you feel better.)
Foods safe to eat in the “grain” variety are corn, potato, rice, soybeans, arrowroot, carob, buckwheat, millet, and quinoa. Always look at the package label to determine the ingredients. This is a chance to comprise your diet full of whole, natural foods with lots of fresh veggies, proteins, healthy grains and fruits.
However, if you do have this allergy and you occasionally want to bake something sweet, there are many wonderful options (entire shops and blogs are now dedicated to gluten free lifestyles). Below is a delicious, gluten free recipe to make on those days when you want something sweet but healthy!
Then tops off the article with a great sounding recipe! I am adding it to my ” to try” list. If you try it … let me know!
