Gluten Free Expo Inspiration

Recently a Gluten Free Expo came to Utah and a friend and I went to check it out. I have to say it was well worth the $8 entry fee! We tasted tons of samples while we were there and came away with a bag full of more samples and coupons!


I learned a lot about new products I can try and found some inspiration for a few new dinner ideas! One of the coupons we received was for $1 off Schar brand products and they have a gluten free bread that I thought I would give a try. For lunch last week I made a BLT with the bread and fresh tomatoes from the garden. I've also had the bread as toast for breakfast and I'd say it was a great gluten free alternative. It looked and tasted like the real deal!

I found a link to download another $1 off coupon here!



I also thought I'd share a little fall treat. Dairy-free pumpkin spice steamer! It was super simple to make the pumpkin spice syrup (I got the recipe here) then I just stirred a few spoonfuls of the syrup into coconut milk and warmed it up in the microwave. I'm sure you could make it much more fancier but when your dairy options are limited this is a delicious substitute.


Here's a little peak at how Sawyer is liking his introduction to solids! Hehe.... It's so funny to watch him try to figure out this food thing. He makes super funny faces and wants to grab the spoon as I feed him. Love this messy face!
