An Italian Treat for any pasta lover!



WHOA! delish... need I say more? Meat Lasagna!!! Found this at Balducci's in Westport and it is fantastic.... I did however choose the meat lasagna over the cheese hoping for more flavor, but I am excited to go back and get more! The flavor reminds me of homemade lasagna from when I was little- and I bet the cheese one is fantastic as well! This was pleasently priced around $6 for 2 servings- which that alone makes it worth it! After googling Conte's Gluten Free Lasagna's, I also found that Conte's makes a varitey of pastas (which was dense and with NO trace that this was GF- take it from a pasta lover), pizzas and frozen dinners! They also have a list of retailers on there site as well. What a treat... so if you can find them, grab them! You will not regret this tasty treat! :)

Bagels...


I found it- well the closest thing to it! I finally have a place to join the forces of melted butter and cream cheese again. Ok, so it's been awhile since I have been able to find that one morning treat that I can feel a little bit bad about eating :) to hell with eggs and bacon, or grits... finally I can have a bagel again. Against the Grain has done it again! You can find them in the frozen section of your local whole foods stores, bagels, baguettes, rolls. In fact I like the original roll the best! For best results, take one out of your freezer the night before to defrost. After slicing the next morning toast in the oven, unlike most GF food- you can actually eat this with out even toasting too! So welcome to the joy of a carb loading breakfast again!
