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.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
