What Do You and Donald Trump Have in Common?

Ok, you're probably thinking that this is a crazy question. And if you don't own billions of dollars in real estate assets, golf courses and casinos, produce an incredibly successful reality show on NBC, or have a ridiculous comb over, then you probably don't think you have much in common with "The Don!"

So, do you have any guesses as to what you and Donald Trump might have in common?

Anything?

Well, if you watched last Sunday's episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, you would have seen that you have at least one thing that you have in common...

On the last episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, the celebrities were assigned the task of creating a frozen dinner that was delicious and healthy at the same time. Annie Duke, a contestant on the show, is a world-renowned poker player, who also happens to have a daughter that is allergic to wheat.

(I was able to chat with her via the magic of Twitter to find out this exclusive info. Yes, celebrities will actually respond to you on Twitter! Pretty cool...)

Anyway, Annie Duke came up with the idea to create a meal that consisted of turkey meatballs and gluten-free pasta. When Joe Kernen, from CNBC Squawk Box, asked Annie, "Who would eat gluten-free pasta?", Annie quickly responded with "the people who need gluten-free are people who have wheat allergies or celiac disease." But Joe still seemed skeptical and thought it would taste bad. To make the dish entirely gluten-free, Annie prepared the turkey meatballs with vegetables, instead of bread crumbs. Although her team was reluctant, Annie advocated for the gluten-free meal and the team ended up choosing it after tasting the three dishes Annie cooked.

During the presentation to the executives at Schwan's, Jesse James said, "the gluten-free market is one of the fastest growing segments in the food industry, as more people are developing wheat allergies or things like celiac disease." The Schwan's executive then said, "I like the innovation in it" and "gluten is hot, there is no doubt about it." Obviously, he meant gluten free, not gluten. But we'll forgive him for that little slip-up. As Annie left the board room, she said, "I told you the gluten free would work."

To make a log story short, the gluten-free dish ended up winning the competition. The executives at Schwan's absolutely loved the dish and are even selling it online and in their stores! But more importantly, it put the concept of living gluten-free into the living rooms and kitchens of almost 10 million viewers world-wide! How's that for some gluten-free advocacy!

I've been amazed by all the publicity that gluten-free foods have been getting lately. This is good news for you, as more and more food companies are beginning to see the demand in the marketplace, so that gluten-free foods are becoming more and more prevalent in your local supermarkets.

So, back to the original question, what do you and Donald Trump have in common?

Well, if nothing else, you and "The Don" both know that gluten-free foods are not only healthier, but can taste good too. And as far as Mr. Trump is concerned, that's a winning combination!

If you would like to watch the last episode of The Celebrity Apprentice, the entire episode can be viewed online. The first mention of Celiac starts around the 57:00 minute mark and lasts until roughly the 70:00 minute mark. Enjoy!

Your Search for a Tasty Loaf of Gluten-Free Bread Might Finally Be Over...

If you're like me, finding a decent tasting loaf of gluten-free bread is about as easy as finding that good ol' needle in the haystack. After trying out SEVERAL gluten-free bread products, I eventually threw in the towel and began substituting gluten-free bagels for bread whenever I could.

After all, most gluten-free bread that you can buy in stores is frozen. By the time you finish the long process of defrosting, microwaving and toasting the bread, you finally go in to take a bite and...

POOF! It just disappears and crumbles in your hands!

You want to find a gluten-free loaf of bread that stays together AND tastes good, don't you?

I decided to try again to find a decent loaf of gluten-free bread and here's what I've discovered...

There are two types of gluten-free bread that not only taste pretty good, but also don't crumble in your hands and disappear before your very eyes. You should look for gluten-free breads made from either millet or quinoa.

Both millet and quinoa grains (quinoa isn't technically a grain, but it's close enough!) are highly nutricious, gluten-free and are non-acid forming, which makes them both soothing and easy to digest.

Typically, millet and quinoa are mixed with rice or tapioca flour in order to produce a heartier loaf that not only tastes great, but doesn't fall apart! At last, your search for a tasty loaf of gluten-free bread is over!

So from now on, check the ingredients to make sure that the gluten-free breads that you are purchasing have either millet or quinoa...you'll be surprised at the difference in taste and consistency!

Or, if you are feeling creative and adventurous and would like to bake your own loaf of gluten-free bread, I've posted a great recipe for you on my website. Click Here to take a look!

Restaurants and Grocers are FINALLY Listening to You...

Did you know that gluten-free food products are finding their way into more and more food isles and restaurants?

Gluten-free items are leading the trend for this year's grocery innovations. This trend comes as many grocers begin to see the increase in demand for gluten-free products.

So, what does this mean for you?

It means that you might not have to buy gluten-free products online and wait 7-10 days for the shipment to arrive. Soon, you will be able to go to your local grocery store and find everything that you need to cook and eat gluten-free!

In fact, U. S. Natural foods giant Hain Celestial Group Inc. recently re-launched its Arrowhead Mills line of pastas, cakes and cookie mixes - which had always been gluten-free - with large 'gluten free' lettering on its new packaging.

In addition to grocery stores, more and more restaurants are beginning to offer gluten-free menus. Several pizza restaurants now offer their signature pizzas on gluten-free rice crust! Z Pizza, which was founded near my hometown, in Laguna Beach, California, now offers gluten-free pizza in most of their stores. Z Pizza has locations throughout the United States, so if you are lucky enough to live by one, I encourage you to stop by and have a taste. This is a very new concept for Z Pizza, as they have only been serving gluten-free pizza since January '09. All of their locations should have the crust, but you might want to double check before going.

I ordered my first gluten-free pizza at Z Pizza just last week and I must say, they did not disappoint! Sure, I've been eating the frozen, rice crust pizzas all my life, but there is something about ordering a pizza in an actual restaurant that brought a smile to my face.
