Whole Foods GlutenFree Bakehouse Pie Crust

One of my favorite pie flavors is not one I have ever found in a store. While strawberry rhubarb pie is a flavor that can be frequently found, raspberry rhubarb is not. That is why we have to either make it ourselves, or go down to the Chicago restaurant where we first discovered it. Usually we end up making it, along with many other flavors depending on what fruit happens to be around.

With Valentine’s Day next month, it is a great time to experiment with different pie flavors and create a unique dessert for the holiday. This is where Whole Foods comes in. Their GlutenFree Bakehouse has a ready-made gluten-free pie crust. If you buy one, you can have a bottom-crust pie. If you buy two, you can use one as a top crust and create a filled pie. Both options give you many possibilities to experiment and create your favorite flavor for Valentine’s Day.

The Whole Foods GlutenFree Bakehouse Pie Crusts are only found at Whole Foods. They are located in the refrigerated gluten-free case.

Update: My mom went to Whole Foods yesterday and took another look at their GlutenFree Bakehouse Pie Crust. She noticed there are actually two pie crusts in each package, not just one. This is great, because with one package you have the choice of making either a bottom-crust or a filled pie.

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.
