Exciting Weekend Update!

Hey Everyone!

I hope you are all having a great weekend! I've got several exciting things to tell you all about.

Enjoy Life Foods will be releasing their NEW and IMPROVED granola this April and they are kind enough to give me a sneak peek. I will be letting you know my review toward the end of the week. I can tell you now that there are 3 flavors that include Cranapple Crunch, Cinnamon Crunch, and Very Berry. I am very much looking forward to sampling these new products!

This week Starbucks celebrated their 1 year anniversary of their "My Starbucks Idea." Due to the requests of people around the globe, Starbucks has initiated several new ideas into the Starbucks experience. This includes some great ideas such as the splash sticks, the VIP cards, and the free Wi-Fi internet. In the newsletter that Starbucks sent out to their loyal customers, they mention that Gluten Free food offerings are "Currently In Review." Hopefully, we will soon be hearing more information in regards to this and we will finally see gluten free products at Starbucks.

I have also received confirmation from General Mills that their Betty Crocker line will be introducing Gluten Free Baking Mixes in June 2009. These 4 products will be Gluten Free Cake Mix in Yellow and Devils Food Flavors, Gluten Free Brownie Mix, and a Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix.

And for those of you who cannot wait any longer for the Suffolk County Celiacs Vendor Fair in April, why not check out the Westchester Celiac Sprue Support Group Meeting and Vendor Fair at Phelps Memorial Hospital in Sleepy Hollow, New York on Sunday, March 29th at 1:30 PM. The following vendors will be at the fair: Jake Bakes, Millers Gluten Free Bread Company, Curious Cookie, DeCicco Marketplace in Ardsley, Kettle Cuisine (featured on Ms. Celiac Says), Glow Gluten Free, and Katz Gluten Free. For more information, visit their website at westchesterceliacs.org.

Also, be sure to keep checking back at Ms. Celiac's Market as new products are frequently added. Currently, we sell products from the following list of brands:

*Pamela's Products
*Cherrybrook Kitchen

And after the tremendous success of our week long feature on the gluten free products and restaurants of Northern Italy, I will soon be doing another week long feature on the gluten free products and restaurants of Paris, France. So, you will want to stay tuned for that!
