So you can find gluten free cake mixes everywhere now. You have Kinnickkinnick, Bob’s Red Mill, Gluten Free Pantry, and many varieties of Betty Crocker gluten free mixes. You can make your own frosting, or buy the many varieties of GF Betty Crocker frostings (http://www.raleighcelkids.com/?p=630). But what about the MOST important part–the jimmies? For those [...]
Long time readers no doubt remember some of our early posts regarding the trouble we experience trying to read labels. For the most part, manufacturers continue to improve their labels to list the allergens (the big 6 or the big 8 most common) right on the package. Three or four years ago this was non-existent. [...]
Do you remember the pre-prepared Easter Baskets that you can buy in the department and grocery stores? You know, the ones with cookies, a toy, sunglasses, candy, all wrapped up in cellophane? Well, sure enough, Amazon now sells some that are labeled as gluten free. The online seller I found was selling baskets pre-packed with [...]
Looks like the packaging on Marshmellow Peeps and all Just Born products (Mike N Ikes, Red Hot Dollars, etc) will soon change to reflect gluten free directly on the packaging. Peeps and Mike n Ikes have been gluten free, but now the Just Born company wants to more distinctly show that on the packaging. From [...]

Easter and Spring are definitely here in the Raleigh area. After a weekend of days in the 70s, it looks like we will see some unstable weather move in for the week. Definitely Spring. With Spring brings a large holiday on the kid calendar: Easter. Easter can be really easy for Celiac children, but parents [...]
People always reminisce about candy dish their grandparents kept full when they were younger. I remember a plastic tree that each season my grandma would put corresponding colored fruit drops on. Now my folks keep Swedish Fish (yes, gluten free) in a dish for my girls. But my fondest memories are of my Granny’s dish [...]
After our tour at the recent Cel-Kids event, and thanks to Maria of Earth Fare, we definitely learned much we would like to share. And we also purchased many new items we will share in upcoming reviews as well! Thanks for the $5 off $25.00 or more coupon, Earth Fare! We definitely used it! So, [...]
How did we not yet review Sheetz? Growing up in Pennsylvania, you could find a Sheetz convenience store on every corner. Besides cheap gas, they also prepared MTOs, or made to order sandwiches. Anything from hot dogs, to subs, to salads. You just punched in what you wanted on the computer screen (or pad and [...]
