Popsicles

While many brands of popsicles exist, usually we refer to the Popsicle brand when discussing Popsicles.  For the longest time, we were unsure about the gluten status of Popsicle brand pops.  Of course, reading those labels and understanding the ingredients takes a doctoral degree in Chemistry.  Recently, however, we became more confident about their labeling.

Summertime Means Dairy Queen!

Yup, summer has arrived, and with it, the desire to go get some ice cream.  Unfortunately, many of the flavors of ice cream and even the conditions of the parlor, do not lend themselves to those on gluten free diets.  With some precautions, though, you can definitely enjoy ice cream. Dairy Queen definitely does a [...]
