Stuffed Pepper Recipe

Maintaining a Balanced Diet While Gluten-Free

Adjusting to a gluten-free diet can be tricky, so it’s important to ensure you are getting all the nutrients you need to stay healthy. Fortunately, many of the healthiest foods, such as vegetables, fruits, beans/lentils, nuts and seeds, low-fat unflavored dairy products, lean meats, fish, and chicken are naturally gluten-free.

On the other hand, some gluten-free products increase the sugar or fat content to compensate for texture and flavor changes that can result from the removal of gluten. Look for products that do not have sugar, syrups, or fat listed high on the ingredient list.

While it may seem like a safe choice, don’t cut out grains altogether. Choose products with significant amounts of gluten-free whole grains, and flours made from these grains, instead of refined grains like white rice flour. Whole grains provide essential fiber, vitamins and minerals necessary for a balanced diet.

When first starting a gluten-free diet, it also can be beneficial to meet with a dietitian or nutrition specialist who will help you get started and stay healthy.

Compliments of Whole Foods Market

365 Everyday Value Salsa

 

This Salsa is sold at Whole Food Markets. This is the best salsa by far that I have ever purchased. All the ingredients are fresh. I used the salsa over the course of 2 weeks. As you can see, I cleaned this jar.  I enjoyed it so much.

I paid about $2.99 for a 16 ounce jar. I think that is pretty reasonable based on "quality over quantity." They were on sale this month for 2 for $4. 


You can taste everything in this jar that is listed as an ingredient. There are other flavors available too. It is organic but not considered gluten free because of the facility. Consume at your own risk. However, it is clearly labeled.
