βΌοΈ I Found Gluten-Free Couscous | Gluten-Free Meals in Prison? | Food Label Transparency
|
Hello Reader, I'm headed to New York City for one of the biggest specialty food trade shows in the country, and I can't wait to discover new gluten-free products (and hopefully a few hidden gems!) to share with you in the coming months. If all goes well, some of my favorite finds may even make their way into future Love Me Gluten Free boxes. Speaking of Love Me Gluten Free... our July "A Taste of Summer" box ships early next week! βοΈπ¦ I just checked, and we have fewer than 100 boxes remaining. If you've been thinking about treating yourself (or someone you love), get to it! π Use the code SUNSOUT for 20% off your first box (new monthly subscribers). π Mark Your CalendarPlease join me for a Facebook Live July Box Reveal from my hotel in NYC on Thursday, July 2, at 10 am CDT. We'll be giving away a free Mystery Box to a live attendee + you'll leave with inspiration for your 4th of July holiday weekend! πΊπΈ RSVP HEREβ π Gluten-Free Couscous Really Exists!Couscous has been one of those foods missing from my gluten-free diet. Traditional couscous is made from wheat, so it has never been safe for people with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity. Enter Boostcous. It has the same tiny, fluffy texture you remember, but it's made from a blend of chickpea, yellow lentil, and pea flours, making it high in protein and fiber. Yes, you can now enjoy couscous again! π Enjoy it in salads, grain bowls, Mediterranean dishes, or as an easy side for dinner. I made it the other night with some baked salmon. It was delicious, lightly seasoned with salt and butter. π Boostcous is now available in the LMGF Market with free shipping. Enjoy! Peanut Butter Cracker DupeI used to eat those mini peanut butter cracker sandwiches all the time, but there really has never been a good gluten-free dupe. To satisfy my craving, I used these Mini Crunchmaster Crisps to make my own... and they were super satisfying, even if not exactly the same. Did you even know Crunchmaster made these snack-sized Crisps?!? I found them at Target, but you can also find them on Amazon. Thank you, Crunchmaster, for sponsoring this shout-out. ποΈ New Episode: What Happens When You Can't Control Your Food?What if you have celiac disease and you're admitted to the hospital? Move into a nursing home? Or find yourself incarcerated? In the final episode of Season 2 of Gluten Free Unwrapped, I interview disability rights attorney Mary Vargas to discuss your legal rights when someone else is responsible for feeding you. We discuss real legal cases, including a prisoner who almost died because the prison failed to provide him with safe meals. π§ Listen on my blog, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. βοΈ Gluten Free Unwrapped is going on summer break. We'll be back later this year with Season 3! Food Labels Could Get Much Easier to ReadWhat if food labels clearly identified every gluten-containing grain, not just wheat, but also barley and rye? Sounds dreamy, right? Well, if passed, this is exactly what the Food Labeling Modernization Act would do. Read my full breakdown of the proposed legislation in this article. Or if it's tl;dr, check out this graphic I created to summarize it all. Have a great weekend. See you next week... Sincerely, Jenny Follow on Instagram, Facebook, and/or TikTok.

Hello Reader, We've come a long way when it comes to celiac disease awareness, advocacy, and gluten-free education. But this week has reminded me just how much work we still have to do. From gluten hiding in unexpected places to confusing food-labeling laws, there's still plenty we need to know, question, and advocate for. So let's get into it. β€οΈ Why We Need Barley Clearly Disclosed on Food Labels Last week, I posted on Instagram that Popsicle Fudgsicles contain malted barley extract, aka...
Hello Reader, Honestly, friends, I can't make this stuff up. Spanx founder Sara Blakely recently shared a video from her trip to Italy on Instagram, saying that she and a friend "are two girls who are gluten-free and ate every single thing with gluten in Italy." She also showed the heavy suitcases full of Italian flour they brought home. Whether intentional or not, posts like these reinforce one of the biggest myths in the gluten-free community: that people with celiac disease can somehow...
Hello Reader, Last week, I shared three really stupid ways I've accidentally glutened myself. π Your responses were fun to read, as many of you replied with your own stories. As it turns out, many of us have bought the wrong version of a product. I mentioned how I've been confused by Goodles, Bob's Red Mill, and Van's Waffles, since they all make a gluten-free and gluten-full version, but you all added even more to my list - spot the differences?
