Gluten

This post brought to you by Schar. All opinions are 100% mine.

According to Wikipedia, gluten “is a protein composite found in foods processed from wheat and related grain species, including barley and rye. It gives elasticity to dough, helping it to rise and to keep its shape, and often giving the final product a chewy texture.”  Unfortunately, many people are allergic to gluten and must try to maintain a gluten free diet.  I can only imagine how difficult that would be.  Think about it, how many foods do you eat every single day contain flour?  Everything from toast at breakfast, to chips at lunch and even pasta at dinner.

Schar has recently re-release their gluten-free heat & serve items, including sub-sandwich rolls, ciabatta rolls and baguettes.  The great thing about Schar, a leader in gluten-free foods, is that they have created the  Schar Club, a free club that provides everything from gluten-free recipes to the latest in gluten-free news. Joining the club also gives members access to giveaways and special member only promotions.  In fact, for a limited time,  members can get a Schar free sample by being one of the first 2,000 to request one.

After joining the Schar Club, on the left hand side you will see a column titled “toolbox” under that column, you will find the word “Giveaways”, click that and then you will be taken to the page to order your free Ciabatta sample!

I’m not required to eat gluten-free products, but I think these breads and rolls sound delicious and can’t wait to give the sub rolls a try.  Leave me a comment and let me know what you think!

So Busy!

Our work hours were recently reduced, so my paychecks have been smaller. This is definitely not the time of year for a smaller paycheck! So, I’ve been picking up hours in the afternoons from other employees just to make up the difference. Unfortunately, the afternoons is when I am used to getting things done around the house. So, now not only am I making less money, but my house looks like crap, my blogging is way behind and I still haven’t sewn a stitch in months! This is pathetic!

Calgon take me away!
