A Rating Of 10 Gluten-Free Snacks I Have In My Kitchen

I have been gluten-free since February when I was diagnosed with Eosinophilic Esophagitis (EoE). In celebration of my recent news of having ZERO eosinophils in my esophagus as of last week, here are ten gluten-free snacks I have sitting in in my kitchen with me right now.

1. Lance Gluten Free Baked Original Crackers

These are essentially just smaller and gluten-free Ritz crackers. They are so good! They taste almost the same, just a little crunchier, and they almost have a slight buttery taste.

Fooducate Grade: B-

2. Goodie Girl Birthday Cake Cookies

OK, these things are the bomb. They are delicious! They are gluten, peanut, egg, and dairy free. They are basically the same concept as a golden Oreo.

Fooducate Grade: C

*3-5 ARE ESSENTIALLY CHEEZ-IT KNOCK OFFS*

3. From the Ground Up Cauliflower Crackers-Cheddar Flavor

These are my favorites of the cheesy snacks I've been experimenting with. I was a goldfish addict when I ate gluten, so I've been trying to find a good replacement. This snack is smaller and crispier than a regular Cheez-It. It reminds me of broccoli cheddar soup and I LOVE it.

Fooducate Grade: B-

4. Lance Gluten Free Cheddar Cheese Crackers

These are also pretty good. They are probably more similar to a regular Cheez-It, but it is a little too much cracker and not enough cheese for me.

Fooducate Grade: C+

5. From The Ground Up Butternut Squash Crackers-Parmesan Flavor

Also delicious. Not as good as the cauliflower cheddar ones in my opinion, but still a great and light snack.

Fooducate Grade: B-

6. Enjoy Life Soft Baked Cookies-Snickerdoodle

OK, I'm not going to lie, at first I was not so sure about these cookies. But after one I was honestly kind of hooked. Enjoy Life is a great allergen-friendly brand free from 14 major allergens. I haven't experimented much with their other stuff, but these cookies are one of my go-to desserts.

Fooducate Grade: B-

7. Cheerios

Not everyone realizes Cheerios are gluten-free. I think I would die without them — not to be dramatic. They have been my favorite food for years, and I have them just about every day and normally more than once. They are so great for your heart too!

Fooducate Grade: A- (Original Flavor)

8. Bob's Red Mill Oat Bars

These are my favorite bars, and I love bars. My favorite flavor is Peanut Butter Banana & Oats but they also make a PB&J flavor and just a PB&oat flavor that are both great!

Fooducate Grade: B- (Peanut Butter Banana and Oats flavor)

9. Larabars

More bars! My favorite flavor is the Cashew Cookie. What I love most about these bars is that they are so simple. In the Cashew Cookie bar the only ingredients are cashews and dates.

Fooducate Grade: B

10. Skinny Pop

I love popcorn. But skinny pop is my favorite brand to buy. It is the perfect light snack that you can buy pre-popped or poppable.

Fooducate Grade: B+

Some other snacks I love are gluten-free pretzels, potato chips, sweet potato chips, smoothies, GoMacro bars, straight up marshmallows, and more.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
