Between the rehab pony, doubling cheesemaking (to get the summer product done), and the regular rhythm of farm life, it's hard to find time to cook from scratch. I had to try some new convenience foods - and I hate doing that because there is always the chance I'll become sick because of my wheat allergy. I don't need that at any time, but it is especially inconvenient when I'm busy.Not all foods labeled "gluten-free" actually are, and people like me have to do the old "trial by error" for every new item.
(The words "Gluten Free Facility" have always meant "safe" for me.)
(The words "Gluten Free Facility" have always meant "safe" for me.)Tonight, I tried two versions of Glutino frozen pizza: two cheese and three cheese.
The only difference seemed to be visual, the cheese topping on each tasted exactly the same to me - but I wasn't about to eat them naked like this.
(Two cheese on the left, three cheese on the right)
To one, I added leftover spicy chicken bits and onions from the other day with grated parmesan and Vermont mozzarella. To the other, dried garlic sausage and mozzarella. I baked both according to package directions.
I liked that these Glutino pizza crusts were thinner and crispier than the crusts purchased alone. The flavor of the sauce was as neutral as any other processed food.
The gussying up with premium ingredients made them really nice for a quick meal.

I have to travel to St. Albans to get these at the Hannaford (miffed that they hide these in with regular frozen pizzas and not in a dedicated "gluten free" section), but at least I don't have to wait until our travels take us to Burlington to get them again.
VERDICT: wheatless
