Toaster Pastries at A Gluten Free Frenzy

For a long time my mom and I looked everywhere for gluten free toaster pastries. It appears to be the most missed food for those who live gluten free lives. I do not know how often my mother and I have heard them talked about. They were even mentioned during a gluten free dinner at a local restaurant. One of the presenters brought the subject up. That is how popular toaster pastries are.

After an extensive search, and attempts at making our own, we finally found gluten free toaster pastries. We walked into A Gluten Free Frenzy, located on Bluemound Road in Brookfield, and there they were. Made by Eco-Planet, their Gluten Free Frosted Toaster Pastries come in three flavors: Brown Sugar & Cinnamon, Blueberry, and Strawberry. The first day we saw them, at least one flavor was sold out. It may have actually been two. That is how happy people were to have toaster pastries back in their lives. They did not even stay on the shelves.

As I have never eaten one myself, I cannot tell you how the toaster pastries taste. But if you, or someone you know, have missed toaster pastries, I suggest going to A Gluten Free Frenzy and giving them a try.

Soy Sauce at Outpost Natural Foods

So many recipes these days include soy sauce as one of the ingredients. In my search to find a low sodium soy sauce for my sensitivity to sodium, I came upon San-J Organic Tamari Reduced Sodium Soy Sauce (Platinum Label). This takes care of two dietary restrictions in one product. I purchase mine at Outpost Natural Foods.

Who We Are

My mother and I, (Lady G and Kate) do not lead gluten free lives. Neither one of us has a gluten intolerance, but we come across more and more people who do. Our interest in finding gluten free options began when my brother started dating a woman who does have a gluten intolerance. We sought out to find different stores and restaurants in Milwaukee that offered items my brother’s girlfriend could eat. As we did this, we found ourselves frequently recommending our findings to other people. We did this so often, we decided to create a blog letting everyone know how they can live gluten free in Milwaukee.

A Note to Our Readers

As writers of this blog, our goal is to feature as many product options as possible to those who are gluten-free. While we are always excited to let our readers know about a newly discovered product, we do not verify whether or not it is certified gluten-free. We operate with the information we know at the time and take the word of the manufacturer or restaurant that has the product. We ask that you always ask questions, especially those with an extreme sensitivity to gluten, in order to make a decision as to whether or not the product is right for you.
