Walkers Gluten Free Pure Butter Shortbread

               Sometimes all I want is a cookie.  That’s it.  One single cookie.  It does not need to have a lot of sugar or be oversized.  No frosting is needed and it does not have to have a lot of additional ingredients.  What I am usually looking for is shortbread.  It is a simple cookie that tastes good, and that is all I want. 
                   At Woodman’s my mother and I found a long existing shortbread company that now makes their cookies in a gluten-free version. Walkers Gluten Free Pure Butter Shortbread has very few ingredients but a great taste. The cookies come in three different flavors. I have only tried the regular shortbread, but it also comes in Chocolate Chip and Ginger & Lemon. All three flavors can be found at Woodman’s as well as ordered from the Walkers Shortbread website, us.walkersshortbread.com.

Tres Latin Foods Pupusas

                You never know where you’re going to find a new gluten-free product.  This time I have to give Guy Fieri and his show Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives credit.  If I had not seen him visit a restaurant where pupusas were their specialty, I may not have given them a second look.
                On a Saturday morning not long ago, I was shopping at Outpost Natural Foods and saw one of the special items of the week was Tres Latin Foods Pupusas.  Located in the freezer section, I was surprised to see pupusas at all.  Then I saw they were gluten-free and that was a bonus. 
                I brought them home and found the pupusas were good and easy to make.  Available in five different flavors, the flavor I tried was the Green Chili & Cheese.  It came with a slaw recipe on the box as a suggestion of what to serve with the pupusas.
