It was definitely hot this past Sunday at the Suffolk County Gluten Free Vendor Fair, so it was nice to take a break from all of the baked goods and enjoy a refreshing sample of Gaga's Sherbetter.
Gaga's Sherbetter is a cross between ice cream and sherbet. It is all natural and contains no artificial flavors, preservatives, or sweeteners and, of course, it is gluten free. Currently, their product line includes 5 flavors: lemon, raspberry, rainbow, orange, and chocolate. With the exception of rainbow, all flavors are also available in sticks as opposed to just in pints.
If you are looking for a cold and tasty treat on a hot day, Gaga's Sherbetter should be a top choice! It is currently available in 27 states including AL, AK, CT, FL, GA, IL, IN, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MS, NC, NH, NJ, NY, OH, PA, RI, SC, TN, VA, VT, WI, WV, and in Washington DC. It is also available to order online at www.icecreamsource.com.

One of the brands at the Suffolk County Gluten Free Vendor Fair that I was previously unfamiliar with was Katz Gluten Free Bake Shop. For those of you that attended, they were the super generous ones who handed out sample bags to fill with all of their cookies and breads!
Katz's motto is "Gluten-Free Should Not Be Taste Free!" and they definitely make sure their products taste stellar. All of the products besides being gluten free are dairy free, nut free, and kosher. Their Challah Rolls won the "Best Baked Goods" Award in the Breads, Grains, and Cereal category at the Kosherfest '08 New Products Competition!
And even better their products are made in a facility that is certified gluten free by the Gluten Free Certification Organization (a division of the Gluten Intolerance Group).
At the fair, I was able to sample so many of their delicious products from the tasty Challah Rolls to the delicious chocolate and cinnamon rugelech! Katz Gluten Free Bake Shop's products are available in New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. They are also available online at www.glutenfreeplaza.com.

When I first started on a gluten free diet, there were not nearly as many brands around as there are today. One of the first gluten free products that I truly enjoyed were brownies from the brand, Foods By George.
Foods By George was at the Suffolk County Gluten Free Vendor Fair this weekend giving out samples of their brownies and they still remain one of the best gluten free products around.
Since 1991, Foods By George has been making gluten free foods. The products are made in a 100% gluten free facility. George, who has created all of the recipes, is a graduate from the Culinary Institute of America.
Their gluten free product selection is as follows:
English Muffins
Cinnamon Currant English Muffins
No Rye - Rye English Muffins
Brownies [A FAVORITE OF MINE]
Pizza Crusts
Pizza [A FAVORITE OF MINE]
Blueberry Muffins
Corn Muffins
Crumb Cake
Pound Cake
Their products are sold at various health food stores in the Frozen Food Section. In NYC, they are available at Whole Foods Markets. You may also order Foods By George products at their website at www.foodsbygeorge.com.
