Being a Celiac , this is the only way I can eat .A lot of ppl dont realize that gluten free diets are really expensive . And there are some of us that are not just gluten free but I happen to be on a gluten free and on a kosher diet and cant have any processed foods either . . Mine is due to allergies from a lot of dif foods , so I sub in dif things . I love the GF tortilla shells from Mission .
Hi Ruby 😁 It's a bummer that the GF products are so much more expensive. Maybe in time the cost will come down. Eating kosher must make it even more difficult to try to find foods to eat 😳 Yikes. Thanks for watching my video and taking the time to comment!
Ruby, I can totally relate. I am gluten/dairy/corn/egg-free plus I have food allergies and texture issues. My sister jokes that I eat air. But my food budget has gone up by about $40/week. Way too much money to spend on food.
@@laurajackson1264 , I understand that cos as Celiac its harder than most people realize . And the only eggs I can have are the free range kind . I have peanut allergies and cant have tomatoes and any other type of food that has high acid in it including green bell pepper . Coffee makes me sick but am allowed to drink tea .
@@rubygreen158 yep. Of course, with my food allergies and texture issues, I've been dealing with that my whole life, but to be 99.9% G/D/C/E-Free took me about 8 months. I kinda cheat with butter. :)
My son is allergic to wheat and milk so it's definitely been a learning curve. And expensive 🥴
Thank you for doing this challenge. My youngest has celiac & I’m always looking for ways to save money and give her a healthy meal she will eat.
You're welcome 😁 I hope she enjoys some of these recipes.
Be cautious of the tomato broth powder. It contains maltodextrin which is often made from wheat, therefore not gluten free.
I’ve been waiting for a gluten free budget challenge from anyone! Finally my wishes came true. Thank you! 🥰
You're welcome. 😁 I would love to make it a regular series. I enjoyed doing this video and I know I have a lot of viewers that are Gluten Free. Thanks for taking the time to comment. 😊👩🍳
Thank you ♥️we are new to gluten free and finding it expensive. 🙏🏽
SavorySavor also has a lot of gluten free meals all the time I subscribe there to . If U need more awesome ideas for gluten free foods , tips and tricks . Try there .Hope that helps to .
@@ArdentMichelle , that would be awesome I love ur channel
@@kathyurbina8178 , it is expensive , I have been on this diet for almost 3 yrs and will be on it the rest of my life after being diagnosed with Celiac Disease 4 days before my birthday almost 3 yrs ago .
Awesome recipes like always, everything looks delicious 😋
Thank you mamacita 😊
Thank you for all the work you put into your videos ❤
You are so welcome! 😁🥰 Thank you for watching. It's nice to be appreciated. 👩🍳🤗
All these meals looked delicious, AM. I'm not gluten-free, but I'd eat any of these dishes any day of the week!
Hi Linda 😁🥰 Yay! So glad you liked my recipes!
It's important to note that some people with Coeliac Disease react to oats (I learned the hard way that I do). So if you're Coeliac, you need to decide for yourself whether you want to risk that.
My understanding of that is that we have to be sure that the oats are processed at an allergen free facility. For me, it's the difference between oats/water or oats flour. 🤔
@@laurajackson1264 Oats themselves have a similar protein structure (Avenin) to gluten, which is why 1 in 4 coeliacs react.
@@buffys3477 Again, oats have a protein called Avenin that is similar in structure to gluten, hence 1 in 4 coeliacs react to them.
Thank you for doing a gluten-free challenge. I love these! The rice wrap and quesadillas with the corn tortillas are definitely going to make it on my to-try list.
You are so welcome! 😁 I'll do more in the future. You should also be able to find gluten free meals throughout my other videos. Happy Holidays!
Amys canned beans are so good but not cheap at almost 4 dollars a can but they come straight out of the can easy to spread and just taste really good.
I've never tried those....but now I want to.
Great recipes! Any time I get fresh corn on the cob, I always plan to make corn chowder because the cobs contain some great flavor that often goes unused. I'll often buy an extra two or three ears, or use a bag of frozen corn, to make a corn chowder to use as a side or lunch, or I'll add a half pound of peeled shrimp to make it a more hearty meal.
I've been looking forward to making a Jamaican corn chowder on my channel once we are further into fall. I LOVE corn chowder. 💜 This comment is making me want some now 😋
Hi, thanks for sharing. I’ve been looking for some low carb recipes. Never thought of the rice paper wraps. Sad times here in U.K. right now, youve helped lighten the mood for a few minutes. Thank you xx
Hi Mo 😊 You're welcome. My condolences for the loss of your Queen ☹️ I'm glad you liked my video. Thank you for watching!
❤️
Thank You for all of your valuable videos. Our vet bills are hundreds of dollars a month from two cats that are older so your videos really help my budget & your ideas for yummy, less expensive food!
My dog costs me a lot too. 😞 The only thing more expensive than a vet, is the dentist in my opinion 😂 I noticed they have been putting a lot of sugar in the dog treats- which brings on a horrible thought of a veterinary dentist- probably crazy expensive. Glad my videos are helpful. Thanks for letting me know 🥰
I'd been waiting for this one, so thank you !! Anyone can make million $ good gluten free food but only you can do the delicious budget friendly version . I cant wait to try some of the recipes xx
Yay! This makes me so happy 😁🥰 Thanks so much Liz. Glad you liked my video. I'll do more of these.
Great creative recipes as usual! Hadn't heard about Migos but definitely going to try it; as well as the crepes. I have often wondered how to use rice paper because I really enjoy spring rolls. Thanks to your tutorial I am going to give them a try. Stay safe & cool. 😍
Thank you 😊 Glad you liked some of these recipes. YES it is finally starting to cool down here 😂 I was dying last week.
Great ideas. You can make 5 gluten free wraps from 1 cup oats and 1 cup water. Soak and blend to a batter. Similar to the item you made without the egg.
Hi Kelley 😊 Thanks for sharing. 👍 I'm excited to try this and see how it turns out. That's very low cost. Are you making sandwich wraps with it?
What a great idea! Thank you.
Awesome video as usual Michelle. I am definitely going to try that corn salad!
Hello there 😁 Thank you so much. Hope you enjoy!
Agreed! Real food does taste good! Hoping for some soup videos once it gets colder. Thanks for the GF video. I have to eat low carb so this is quite helpful.
Hi Becky 😁You're welcome. Glad this video is helpful. I can't wait to start making soups and other cold weather food. I'm already planning out my fall videos 😂 Thanks for watching.
Oh yeah migas we have it in my part of Tx alot of times chorizo is cooked in it but im in north Texas..its more spicy and authentic near the border.. honestly though just depends on who's cooking it
Wow awesome ideas Michelle! 😍🥰🤩
Thanks so much CG 😁🥰 Glad you liked my video!
Taco bell went out of business here 20+ years ago and the other Mexican places are a bit more authentic, the corn salad is one of the sides they serve, its very tasty and healthy. I use it as like a pico for beef mince taco and works really well, nice fresh hit. Taco bell recently came back here but still sucks when we have other real food. Im shocked at the price of tortillas in the US, here in Aus a 10 pack of the corn tortilla is around $3.50. I make guacamole the same way in the avocado shell, saves on washing up! Rice paper rolls can take practice, I didn't see you rip any so you're doing well. Great Video Michelle.
Thanks so much 😁 Glad you liked my recipes. I would have liked to make more with the rice paper rolls, but I ran out of time. Wow $3.50 for 10 tortillas is so expensive. 😳 Yikes. Thanks for watching my video.
@@ArdentMichelle Recently bought 7 inch generic brand for $3.25 Canadian. A loaf of multigrain bread is $3.50. So bread is a better deal.
@@cheriemonami I watch a canadian youtuber and our dollar is about the same but things are way more expensive here, keep in mind I live in one of the most expensive cities in the world. They are from Nova Scotia. Weird in Canada that most packaging will be in both English and French and sometimes you use metric and sometimes imperial.
@@cheriemonami WOW 😳
That was spectacular! Bravo! You are amazing! There I used up my budget of !!!
Yay! Glad you liked this video! 😁🥰 I'm sharing in the !!!! 😂😂 Have a great rest of your day 😊
I’m so excited for this one! I went gluten free last Spring. ❤
Yay! 😁
I'm not sure but you can get a lot more meat at H-Mart or Food City at Food City they have 4 different kinds of meat for $19.00 like chicken, hamburger, steak, pork I have bought it because of the food prices being so high and I could get 2 meals out of each kind and since it's only me and my Husband it works well they also have bigger cans of the beans you like I just can't remember the name and they have bags of fresh veggies starting as $1.50 they are a Mexican Grocery Store. At H-Mart they have the same kind of deal on meat you should check it out I live in Arizona
I haven’t been buying avocados because they are so expensive but when you use just a little they are a luxury!!
They are a mainstay in my diet.
Some people buy meat...I buy avocados and nuts 😂
I live in Bakersfield, California which is regularly over 100 degrees for months so I appreciate the hot weather meals also!!
You're my neighbor to the north. I'm in Irvine. I like the prices of your housing up there. 🏡 I didn't get to make as many summer meals as I had wanted to. Glad you like this video.
I wish I had this 20 years ago, so helpful! I’ve started my own channel so I’m learning a lot, thank you for such helpful videos! ❤
Congrats on starting your own channel 🥳 I wish you much success!!
@@ArdentMichelle Thank you so much!
I have never used the rice paper, but I did buy some last week. I love love love bread, but it upsets my stomach. I can't wait to try the rice paper wraps. Good video!
Yay! I'm so excited to hear what you think after you've tried using the rice paper wraps. I love them. I wanted to make some more savory rolls, but I ran out of time...plus the heat was getting to me. I thought I would get SO MUCH done with the 3 day weekend. NOT. 😂 Thanks for watching!
For a treat break one up a bit and throw it in very hot oil for 5 seconds. Lightly salt. They burn quickly so once they puff they're done.
@@peggynewcomb2031 yes 👍 I had so many other things I wanted to do with this ride paper! I'll have to try this!
I watched your video on frittatas also. I had a little shredded beef leftover & put it in a freezer bag with onions & bell peppers to make a frittata later. I made too much chicken Parmesan & also put in a freezer bag to make frittatas later!! I always have eggs, cheese & fresh veggies. I bought broccoli cuts with a lot of stems that my son doesn’t like so I will throw those in also! I made one already & it was delicious! Thanks!!
Love this 😁 Frittatas can be made so many ways. I love that you're using leftovers in them. I'm pretty sure that's how the Italians make them too.
Your videos help with dieting since you show what you can do with a little bit of an ingredient. I have been trying to teach my husband not to take too much to “finish it up”.
Glad my videos are helpful 😁
Thank you for this. Never thought of rice paper wraps. I'm going to have a look for those.
Hello 😁 You're welcome. You can do so many different things with that rice paper. I love it. Thank YOU for watching!
These recipes are amazing! I'm always blown away by your channel. Thank you for sharing a gluten free challenge, and a set smaller budget as well. I'm going to try the corn salad really soon, and the gorditas will be a big hit with my family. Thank you, again!
Thanks so much! 😊 🥰I'm glad you are enjoying my videos!
the dishes you put together look always so delish!
Thanks Anna 😁 I'm glad you like my meals.
Everything looks REALLY YUMMY!
Thank you
I saw gluten free and thought uh oh, not for "us", LOL, but you never forget the vegetarians out here. I have always enjoyed Migas, you reminded me to start making them again and I just used beans in the taquitos instead of pork and you had even more in store-like that delish looking corn salad! Your range is amazing dare I ask for a budget Vegetarian challenge? Thank you as always for your particular brand of magic.
Thank you Lyla 😁🥰 Yes I would love to do a vegetarian budget challenge. I'll do one soon.
I shop at Kroger. The prices are so much lower there for many grocery items, especially produce. If you are a “bargain shopper” who goes to many stores (as I’ve seen you do in other videos), you can really pare down the final cost. I agree it is easier to stay in one store for a specific menu though!
You make a good point 👍 We definitely could have gotten this budget down a bit. I shopped at Walmart because many of my viewers don't have access to the same great low cost stores as me. I just looked it up and I have a Ralphs near me that is owned by Kroger, but they are very expensive. Still....I could probably get some great deals on sale.....Sounds like another video idea 😂😂
Hi Michelle! Thank you for all your amazing recipes. I enjoy every video and keep checking for the next one. Have a wonderful week.🌷🙏 Deb
Hi Deb 😁 Thank you so much 🥰 I'm so glad you are enjoying my videos. That makes me so happy. Hope you have a great week too. 😊
Perfecto! What oil do you use when you are frying items? I make the mistake of no oil, but I can see when it comes to corn tortillas, that makes it another level! I'll quit eating bread for fried up corn tortillas you betcha. Then I might get off my arse and make my own as I scored a handmade wood tortilla press at the thrift store. You are my favorite budget lady!
Lately I have been using the spray avocado oil from Costco. I've also used Pam butter flavored spray in the past and just regular canola oil. Wow...thanks so much for the very nice complement 😁🥰 It's much appreciated. I've made my own flour tortillas but never corn. Hope you try the migas. They were very good!
The Migas looked great! That’s a dinner for me!
Hi Wendie. 😊 Hope you like them as much as I do.
I have a specific request and I totally understand if you don't do it, but I was wondering if you have any budget meal plan idea that don't involve any beans? My husband doesn't like them because of sensory issues (most mushy foods, really), but a lot of budget meals involve beans for the protein.
Thanks for everything you do! Everything you cook looks absolutely stellar!! ❤️
Hello there 😁 I'm actually working on a $1 a day video -NO BEANS right now. 😂 I would consider doing a weekly budget with no beans in the future. 😁 Can he eat rice? Hopefully in the meantime you can pick and choose from my budget videos to help find other low cost meal options. I'm so glad you are enjoying my content 😁
Everything looks so delicious... I am drooling 🤤 Yum 😊
Thank you 😋
Welcome back Ardent Michelle
Hello one inone 😁
I make that carnitas recipe but I use home made veggie broth due to a chicken allergy. It still comes out great!
Hi Catherine 😁 Yes I bet that works just as good 👍 Thanks for sharing!
Michelle, great video! The heat wave was brutal - I barely cooked for a week.
Thank you so much 😁 Yes the heatwave was brutal...not sure where you are, but here in Irvine we are cooling down a bit this week and next week is supposed to be even cooler. ❄️
@@ArdentMichelle Irvine? Did you move? I thought you lived in San Diego or SD adjacent.
SF Bay Area. It was over 100 for a week and no AC and had to work (nurse). I've begun to dread this time of the year due to the fires. I love your videos - so many ideas and so calming at the same time 💗💗💗
Ethnic food stores are a rarity here in Vermont, but when I get to Boston I’m going to embark on a quest to find those rice paper wraps! As always, everything you prepared looked so delicious and was presented beautifully! Thank you for all you do for us!💖
Hi Susan 😊 Walmart carries those wraps. Glad you liked my video! And Yes...I think you should check out some ethnic stores in Boston. You never know what amazing new food items you might discover!
All your videos are amazing !!🖤
Thank you so much!! 😁🥰
Fabulous job Michelle🎃
Thank you Kelli! 😊
You never disappoint will have to try making some of these .. thanks for the share ❤
My pleasure 😊
Excellent choice skipping the GF bread! 😅 Also, the Mission GF cauliflower tortillas are my favorite so far. They hold together better than the original GF tortillas Mission makes.
Thanks for sharing, I'll try the GF cauliflower next time. 😁
Hi Michelle, 👋am excited to watch this video. 😊
Hi Pat 😁
I have been trying to cut back on the amount that I spend on groceries just so that I can tuck extra money away for emergencies. These recipes all look great. I think I want to try the corn salad first. i’ll probably be picking up the frozen bag of corn just because it will be easier for me. I really need to find a decent Latin American market in the city where I live. That will help with the package of corn tortillas and some of the specialty ingredients like the tomato chicken bouillon. I am in Canada and our Walmarts don’t have the same huge package of corn tortillas or that bullion that are available in the U.S.
Just curious if it is @Foodie Justin who the (intelligent) tomato hater in your family. 😁. I love cooked tomatoes and if they’re marinated so like a bruschetta they’re okay. Just sliced up as part of a sandwich, or on a burger or in a salad, no thank you. PS for people who aren’t aware Michelle son has his own RUclips channel and it is awesome.
Hello there 😁 Yes you are correct. It's Justin who doesn't like tomatoes. He's been taking a short break from filming, but I'm hoping he picks it back up. He made me the most delicious pasta dish last night. He made it with with half and half (because it was in the house) and San Marzano tomatoes, rotelle pasta and a little bit of mozzarella. I'm about to have some for my lunch at the office. You might check Walmart for the tomato chicken bouillon. And obviously if your Gluten Free then make sure its GF. Thanks for the comment and have a great rest of your week.
I'm gluten and dairy free due to allergies, which have required emergency hospital treatment. Generally gluten free (gf) wraps are awful and fall apart before you can finish eating them. However, I love bfree, which you looked at, but my favourite is the sweet potato variety.
Hi Lee 😁 Interesting ....🤔 Thanks for sharing. I'll try the Bfree next time. I don't think I saw a sweet potato flavored one, but I'm definitely going to be on the look out for that one. Wondering if it is orange? I love the colored wraps, I think they are so pretty on the plate. I enjoyed doing a GF challenge and hope to do this again in the near future. Thanks for watching.
@@ArdentMichelle Yes, the wraps are a sweet potato orange colour. Here in rural Australia I've only seen the sweet potato, the green one and a bland coloured looking wrap. I have not seen the chia yet
So excited when I saw you had a new video up can’t wait to see it
Glad you look forward to my videos Claire 😊🥰
@@ArdentMichelle hope everything good with you? Any good Fall things in Dollar tree yet?
@@clairebrennan5321 Well I'm delighted that the weather is starting to cool off 😂 Last week was rough. I walked my dog in 69 degree weather this morning before work 😊 It was refreshing! I was at Dollar Tree a few weeks ago but I need to pop back in soon to see the Fall stuff. 💜 Love Dollar Tree.
@@ArdentMichelle I don’t like the heat which is just as well. It’s 59 here now I think I felt a wee bit frost this morning 💗
Look delicious 😋 they looked amazing . Great job and some great meals
Hi Sheila 😁 Thank you so much. Glad you liked my video!
@@ArdentMichelle I sure did I go back and watch from time to time your older challenges too I love the style
Sitting here looking at her choices and feeling judgy lol. Those Mission tortillas are about $6 for 6 small tortillas, it takes 2 to make a decent sized burrito/wrap. Totally not budget friendly. The price of the pork was at least twice what it should have been when on a tight budget. Tempted to start doing GF/dairy free on a food stamp budget, been cooking this way for 23 years and realizing thats a huge skill to share.
Judge away 😂 The goal for me wasn't necessarily to be as low as possible on the budget, because time is also a commodity. The tortillas were $5.16. Are you making your own? Sometimes I make my own tortillas but only when doing the very extreme challenges. That's awesome that you're able to buy a pork shoulder roast for less than $7 where you live.
I would encourage you to start a GF channel to share your skillset because I'm sure it could help a lot of people. These kinds of specialty diet budget videos are much needed. 👩🍳
This is awesome!
Thank you so much 😁🥰
Excellent video!!
Thanks so much Sherry 😁🥰 Glad you liked my video.
Nicely done!! Heads up - oats aren’t gluten free unless they are protocol oats (which are WAY pricier) and things like seasonings & broth are often also not gf. GF can be SO EXPENSIVE!!! So expensive!!
sounds like a money grab!
Another great GF option is certain GF pastas some with a good bump of protein. Such as chickpea pasta.
Hi Kyndra 😁 I was eyeing one of those GF pastas for this challenge but ultimately decided to try it for my next GF video, because I was running out of money in the budget ☹️ Those GF products are mighty expensive! 😳 As someone that doesn't eat a lot of meat, I really like the idea of a protein packed pasta. I'm excited to try it.
My husband is extremely sensitive to gluten and we found out there is gluten in broth! If it doesn't say Gluten free on it anywhere we are safe to say it is not good for him! I would check the ingredients in the broth and spices. Since they say made around other wheat products. We find it difficult sometimes :(
Yes just discussing this with another viewer ☹️ Lots to learn about Gluten Free eating.
I grew up eating something similar except we used leftover potatoes and diced tomatoes cold and diced. Just a question or request could you demo oat milk for one. Also fruit compote or coulee for one. Also how can I store beans for the week. My tortillas go bad so does my bread. How do you store food in the fridge without spending money on containers. How could I use bread wrapper without everything getting soggy. I try to prep sandwiches or even lunch even though we eat at home daily. I have problems as things get lost in the fridge. My husband is like a raccoon reaches for things in the back and things get turned over or thrown out. At 70 he asks question never🏋🏿
Hi Carlotta 😁 Are you asking me to show you how to make oat milk or just try different types? I've never made oat milk before. I've made fruit compote on my channel several times- I believe the last time was in last years Thanksgiving video when I made cranberry sauce. It works the same with any fruit, just add sugar and a little water if necessary (depending on the fruit). I would love to make a coulis on my channel. 😁 Once beans are cooked they should be refrigerated and eaten within 3 days or frozen. I like to keep my bread in the refrigerator. I usually buy 2 loaves at a time and freeze one until ready to use. My tortillas never go bad because we eat a lot of them, but you could refrigerate those as well. I haven't tried freezing them. Maybe another viewer can comment on that. Thanks for the comment 😁
I can’t eat corn. But that’s my issue lol. Just as an FYI not all lunch meat is gluten free safe. Also oatmeal if it isn’t labeled gf can cause issues for folks. But otherwise Some good stuff here. 👏👏🧡🧡🧡
I didn't know that about the lunch meat. The GF oatmeal that I pointed to in the video with the caption "buy this" is the one I would want my GF viewers to buy. I accounted for the GF version in the video, but didn't want to ACTUALLY buy it, because I have lots of oatmeal at home. Thanks for watching ! 😁
How did you keep the corn tortillas from breaking when making the taquitos?
I might have heated them up before rolling them.
Hi! First time seeing one of your videos - so far everything looks delicious! My boyfriend and I will have to try some of these ideas. One note - please be cautious when making allergen type videos that you double check your items to be actually gluten free! The chicken broth you used is NOT gluten free. It contains yeast extract which comes from barley. I know the item you chose is the budget friendly option, but the one that is gluten free safe is going to be about double the price.
(just got to the caldo de tomate bit - that is also not a gluten free product as also contains yeast extract)
I'll just quick add - its very difficult to find any gluten free bouillon... they used to make "granules" that were gluten free but I havent seen them in probably 10 years
Hi Jessica 😁 Thanks for the tips. I actually didn't even think about the chicken broth. 🤔 As for the bouillon, I figured that my GF viewers would have a standard GF option in their pantry staples, but you are correct. I should be more cautious because not all of my viewers may know this and some may be newly diagnosed. Great tips. Thanks for sharing!
B free brand is great
You are the second person to say this. 👍 I'm definitely going to try that next time. Thanks for the input.
Corn tortillas are really cheap and gluten free.
AND delicious! 😋
what year is this? I'm in New Zealand... tomatoes are nearly a dollar each... in season!!
Hi Brent 😁 That video was released in 2022. Wow that is a lot for a tomato. I just got a small Roma tomato for .17 last week.
if you want a real challenge you could try to do an updated gluten free challenge but with converted Canadian prices.
Unfortunately I just don't get enough views on these kinds of videos - otherwise, I'm always up for a challenge. 😂
Migas: sorry to burst your bubble, but those don't look like migas from TX (they probably taste good--but they don't look the same)...dts/usa
Hi Dana 😁 You may have missed it, but I explained in the video that I wasn't making the Tex Mex version. These were the Mexican version of migas and I kept my tortillas a little drier because that is how I like them instead of letting them get soggy in the eggs. Do you have a good Tex Mex version of Migas?
You come out way cheaper getting a pound of dried beans and cooking them down yourself
Yes definitely 👍
Gluten free tortillas aren’t the best plain (unfortunately), but delicious crisp up or in an enchilada dish.
I use them in many dif things including quesadillas .Have for almost 3 yrs now .Found out I was a Celiac 4 days before my 52 birthday .
Yeah I couldn't tell any difference from regular shells when I fried it for the tostada. I still really want to try the green spinach GF wraps though. They must be good if they are sold out everywhere. 😂
@@ArdentMichelle , those are also really good , I dont find them very often but when I do I snap them up 2 lol
@@ArdentMichelle The spinch GF tortillas have a bit of a bitter taste! Not great, imo.
@@glutenfreegrubbin oh no that's a bummer cause I do like the regular spinach ones ☹
I thought oats are naturally a gluten free food?
Based on how oats are grown and processed, wheat is often mixed in. Lots of GF people get sick eating oats. The gluten-free oats or purity protocol oats are safer for GF people.
As far as I know you must purchase gluten free oats.
y gloves?
I love them and if I'm handling the food its better.
Bouillon must be gluten free. Please be careful if you are celiac❤️
True. 👍 Anyone GF should use GF bouillon.
I'm surprised that you cook at home with gloves on! Nice to see some gluten free options for our friends who don't tolerate it
Melissa, I LOVE those gloves. 😂 Sure, I could use the tongs more, but as it turns out, my hands are the best tool of all. LOL. It seems more acceptable to be handling the food with the gloves on and it helps my viewers that are germaphobic. I can relate. Glad you liked this video. 😁
Is that oatmeal gluten free?
In the video, I show the gluten free oatmeal in the store and say if you are gluten free, buy this. There wasn't any reason for me to buy it since I already had oatmeal in the house. However, I added the GF version into the price list.
