Episode Synopsis

I wanted to chat today about some GF options that I have tried and loved for two reasons. ONE. I spent much of the weekend writing a guide to being gluten-free. It’s a quick guide. It has info and recipes. AND yup (shameless plug), you can totally buy it from me. TWO. My tummy has been a little off lately so I’m ditching the stuff for a few days to calm my system. 
Know that all “subs” are not the same. It will take some trial and error to find the ones you like. It’s totally worth it though. Know that you can seriously just swap the pasta. Keep your fave sauce and protein sources the same. 
You can invest in a spiralizer or find some pre-spiraled for you in the fresh and frozen sections of your grocery store. 
There are also some fantastic gnocchi options out there. Trader Joes’ cauliflower one is one of my fave things— the difference is hardly noticeable.  
Shredded veggies and shredded cabbage are both wonderful subs for recipes that call for smaller pastas or in casseroles. 
Dried pastas come in so many options: beans, veggies, quinoa and rice and all sorts of combinations there of. I advise spending some time in the Asian foods aisle and online sources like Thrive Market and Amazon for some surprising options. 
**Tip: make sure you are reading all ingredients. Even for sauces and toppings. You’ll be super shocked where Gluten can sneak it’s way in.
