October 2, 2022October 2, 2022 christyaustin1680

Recently I went to the Gluten-free expo in Sandy, Utah.

There were so many gluten-free items at the expo that I would like to feature.

First–I want to mention my new favorite bread!

The bread is Mrs. Hewitt’s Bread.

It tastes just like I remember bread tasting.

It doesn’t crumble, it doesn’t taste like cardboard.

I tested it out with a grilled cheese sandwich and it was amazing!

There was a wide variety of gluten free breads Mrs. Hewitt’s offered but I was happy with the Homestyle White Bread.

Let me know if you try this bread…it has opened the doors to many more recipes for me!
