Food Find: Trader Joe's Gluten Free Pancake & Waffle Mix

Recently, we did a little cleanse diet. And I mean 'we' because my family had to go on most of the journey with me since I do the cooking. Lucky them. Gluten had to removed from our regular rotation...and everything else that tastes good. What did we discover? That sometimes I really like broccoli + rice for breakfast, and that we COULD still have pancakes and waffles on the mornings I didn't want broccoli + rice.



Trader Joe's Gluten-free Pancake & Waffle Mix is pretty darn good (for gluten-free), super easy and best of all it doesn't cost a fortune (like some other gluten-free product lines). The waffles were light as air and crispy and paired perfectly with our toppings of choice (almond butter & honey or pure maple syrup, which ironically was allowed on the cleanse). So, if you happen to be watching your gluten, or would just like to switch it up a bit, give it a go! This mix is also mostly allergen-free with no nuts, dairy, soy or corn.

Food Finds:Michael Pollen + Food Allergy Walk

Michael Pollan

Michael Pollan, author of many books including the recent 'In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto', spoke today at the Barnes & Noble at the Galleria in Edina. MPR aired the broadcast on Tuesday during their Midday program, and I found myself entranced listening to this man with so many sound ideas on food and the way we live. 'In Defense of Food' has been on my book list for a little while, and now I'm moving it to the top. Take a listen. This guy is full of common sense and a history of how we got where we are....
