Be Free For Me Blog

There are a lot of frozen gluten free pizzas out there that are good – but they all seem to be the same old bland everyday flavors: 3-Cheese, Pepperoni, Vegetable.

Ho-hum.

That is why my eyes perked up and my taste buds got going when I saw Glutino’s Gluten-Free Chicken Pizza with BBQ Sauce in my grocers freezer last month.

Made with a crispy (can you say “tastes like the real deal?”) brown rice crust, this pizza is crowded with tasty pieces of white chicken meat, mozzarella and Monterey Jack cheeses and a smoky, yet sweet, BBQ sauce and spices. I was impressed with the abundance of toppings.

Another bonus this pizza is not only packed with calcium, and is a good source of Vitamin A and iron.

I also find it super important to note that this individual sized pizza is a nice sized portion that fills you up. Plus, the serving portion on the package is realistic: it says that one pizza is one serving… which made me smile since it meant I could enjoy the whole entire pie… all by myself… for just 310 calories!

Any way you slice it – variety, flavor, and being able to eat a whole delicious gluten-free pizza for a little over 300 calories are some of the reasons why this week’s BeFreeForMe Friday Favorite goes out to Glutino Food’s Chicken Pizza with BBQ Sauce!

Parties are a reason to celebrate; catch up with old friends, meet new ones; and chat about hot topics and things of common interest. Parties are also a chance to munch on and try new gluten and allergen free foods. Parties are a reason to have fun.

All of these reasons are why I can hardly wait for the Twitter Party sponsored by Glutino Foods coming up this Monday, January 11th from 8-9 PM (EST).

Glutino Foods is hosting this Twitter party, and will have as a special guest, Elisabeth Hasselbeck, co-host of “The View”, fellow celiac, and author of “The G-Free Diet”. As well as me and BeFreeForMe.com, other sponsors include the folks over at Ian’s Natural Foods, that make all natural, organic (plus allergen-free and gluten-free!) meals for kids; and Chad Hines, from GlutenFreeFaces, the gluten-free and celiac social network. (Sound interesting? To join the party RSVP here!)

One of my all-time favorite gluten-free brands, Glutino has delicious products and they make it all… cookies, breads, bagels, pancake mixes, muffin mixes, frozen pizzas and convenient pasta dishes. It’s great that I can find Glutino products in most traditional grocery stores too – which makes life so much easier! And, as most of you know, one of my favorite snacks are the gluten-free pretzels that I dip in tangy honey mustard!

And just in time for this Twitter party, Glutino is sponsoring this week’s WIN-It-Wednesday on BeFreeForMe.com. They are offering two (yes 2!) LUCKY BeFreeForMe members a Party Pack full of munchies and products to make any party a reason to celebrate.

I am so excited that Glutino Foods is this weeks WIN-It-Wednesday sponsor since they are one of my all-time favorite gluten-free brands!

Not only are the Glutino products delicious, they are also a brand that I can count on. All the Glutino products are gluten-free and the most can be found in traditional grocery stores – which means less time running around to specialty or natural food stores! Glutino makes my life so much easier!

Plus the variety of products that Glutino offers is exceptional. They seem to make it all, from cookies, breads, bagels, pancake mixes, muffin mixes, frozen pizzas and convenient pasta dishes.

My favorite is the gluten-free pretzels that I dip in tangy honey mustard, but I also love the convenience of the gluten-free meals when I am on-the-go.

Glutino products can also be used as ingredients in favorite gluten-free recipes too. I use Glutino crackers in baked stuffed shrimp or chicken nuggets; and the Glutino cookies in pie crusts or dessert bars.

Glutino Foods is offering one BeFreeForMe member a gift box packed with a variety of Glutino products… this is a $50-$75 valued prize!
