I recently had the opportunity to sample one of Katz Gluten Free's newest products - gluten free hamburger buns! They were extremely tasty! My favorite thing about them was that unlike other gluten free hamburger buns, these didn't fall apart while you assembled your sandwich or even while eating it!
These gluten free hamburger buns are made from a combination of white rice, tapioca, corn, arrowroot, potato, and soy flour. They will be a great addition to any summer BBQ - just throw your hamburger or veggie burger on it and enjoy!
You can purchase this product at your local health food store or by visiting www.KatzGlutenFree.com. For a pack of 4 hamburger buns, it will cost you $4.99. And if you spend over $30, shipping is free!
Now for the giveaway...
If you would like to enter a contest to receive a dozen gluten free hamburger buns directly from Katz Gluten Free, please send an email to me at MsCeliacSays@gmail.com with "Katz Gluten Free Giveaway" in the subject line. Make sure to include your name, address, and phone number in the body of the email!
All entries will be accepted until midnight (EST) on Sunday, March 6th, 2011. The winner will be announced on Monday, March 7, 2011.
Best of luck!

The Nogii Super Protein Bar Has Arrived!
Have you had a chance to try Elisabeth Hasselbeck's High Protein Nogii bars yet? If not, you're missing out! I sampled and reviewed them last month and they were delicious!
Last month, I was also lucky enough to sample the Super Protein Nogii bars! These bars were created by The View co-host in collaboration with her husband, Tim Hasselbeck, ESPN NFL Analyst and former NFL Quarterback!
I found them to be just as delicious as the original Nogii bars. They are about twice the size with a similar flavor - Chocolate Peanut Butter Caramel Crisp! And yes, they are also gluten free!
They contain a whopping 30 grams of protein and are an ideal balance of protein, fats, and carbs. These nutritious bars also contain no trans fats, hydrogenated oils, or high fructose corn syrup.
Super Protein Nogii bars will also provide you with 15% of your daily serving of Calcium and Iron!
All Nogii products are being manufactured in a facility approved and certified by the stringent testing of the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO).
To purchase the Super Protein Nogii bars, visit your local Smoothie King or you can also buy them online at Ms. Celiac's Market!
Nogii products will also be releasing a kid's gluten free and nut free bar in the near future!
For more information, please visit www.nogiidiet.com.

Every month, the reviewer of the most useful and detailed review is featured in the "Featured Review of the Month" section. The winner will receive 4 Triumph Dining Restaurant Dining Cards including American, Chinese, Italian, and Mexican Cuisines.
There is also a section of the site that is dedicated to posting gluten-free restaurant menus for you to browse through plus there is a section filled with an assortment of gluten free travel resources including United States -based and Global Celiac Associations, Travel Agencies, Hotels, Restaurants Guides, etc.

Let's Go Shopping at Ms. Celiac's Market!
I created Ms. Celiac's Market through Amazon Marketplace in February 2009 soon after starting up this site in January 2009. From the advice and feedback received, Ms. Celiac's Market has undergone many changes since that time.

Beanitos - My New Favorite Chip!
I've been trying to find a chip that I could dip in salsa or guacamole that was both gluten free and free of corn! It's a more difficult task than you may think. Even rice-based chips contain corn! However, I recently discovered Beanitos!
Beanitos are gluten free and corn free! They are high in fiber, contain 4 grams of protein, 1200 mg of Omega 3s and are certified as a low glycemic snack!
Currently, they come in 4 varieties:

The Monthly Round-Up!
Happy Groundhog's Day everyone! It seems that all of the groundhogs were unanimous this morning in not seeing their shadows and telling us that spring is just around the corner! Finally!!!
This winter has been brutal for most of us (especially those of us on the East coast) and it has been very difficult to keep warm! That's why Kettle Cuisine soup is absolutely the most perfect lunch or dinner right now! And I'm not just saying that because they are our latest advertisers! I have long been a fan of Kettle Cuisine soup (especially their gluten free Chicken Noodle) and have written this article on them in the past that you can check out here: Nothing Like A Bowl of Hot Soup on a Cold Winter Day
In fact, Kettle Cuisine is the only gluten free brand of soup that I have found to be absolutely delicious and worth eating. For the past week, I have practically lived off of these soups as I recover from a bug. So, click on their ad and check them out! It's definitely worth it!
And if you haven't yet, check out our other advertisers, Katz Gluten Free, to try out a delicious assortment of gluten free baked goods!
This year, Ms. Celiac Says..., has gotten off to a great start! We've had more visitors than ever before and Ms. Celiac's Market has really hit it off with the sale of Elisabeth Hasselbeck's Gluten Free nogii bars. If you haven't already bought some, check them out here: nogii bars. They are unbelievably delicious! You can check out the articles I wrote on them by clicking here and here.
Also, we have featured some great gluten free foods this past month including:

Take Some Time to Enjoy Life!
One of my longtime favorite gluten free brands, Enjoy Life, recently re-packaged and re-formulated their Soft Baked cookies! They were kind enough to send me some samples so I could check them out!
I've always been a fan of their cookies but you can definitely tell that this new version is softer and the flavors are more intense! I was able to try the Double Chocolate Brownie, the Snickerdoodle, and the Lively Lemon - all of which were delicious!
One of the best things about Enjoy Life products are that so many of us can eat them. In addition to being gluten free, they are also free of the top 8 allergens (wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish, and shellfish). Most of their products are also free of potatoes, sesame, sulfites, and casein.
Enjoy Life products are certified Gluten Free by the Gluten Free Certification Organization (GFCO). They are certified Kosher by the Chicago Rabbinical Council (cRc) and are Halal certified by the Islamic Food and Nutrition Council of America (IFANCA).
Their products contain no artificial ingredients, trans fats, and/or genetically modified ingredients.
