Soy sauce

I was surprised to find out soy sauce had gluten in it!

Gluten free tip: talk to other people buying gluten free at the store

I was purchasing an expensive organic gluten free soy sauce at the grocery store and the manager, who was helping to bag groceries that day told me she had recently started eating gluten free after finding out she had celiac. She said she had spoken to a customer one day who shared with her that La Choy lite soy sauce didn't have gluten. So sure enough after checking it out, it's a true fact! No more wasting money on that expensive soy sauce: La Choy is just as good :)

Easy meal

Brown rice has become a big part of my diet with eliminating a lot of pasta and bread. I eat brown rice like pasta though and put all the same toppings on it (ref sauce and parmesan cheese especially). This steam fresh brown rice is so convenient. I hate how long boiling and cooking brown rice takes. You can throw this in the microwave and it's ready in 5 minutes. Great to grab quick on the go for work, especially if you have a salad bar. I love to toss in some veggies and top with feta cheese.
