Hello! I am in a good mood since tomorrow is FitBloggin!! That means today is my last day of work..until Monday of course. Very excited to meet everyone! Today I present you with a giveaway sponsored by Namaste Foods.
They sent me two products to try: Say Cheez Non-Dairy Pasta and Gluten Free Pizza Crust Mix!
I made the Say Cheez Pasta a few weeks ago for dinner.
As you can see, it is gluten free, non-dairy, and contains 270 calories and 4 grams of protein for one serving.
Ingredients:
Brown rice pasta (brown rice flour, water), shelled hemp seed, salt, rice milk powder, onion powder, paprika, turmeric, garlic powder, natural non-dairy cheddar flavors, natural non-dairy butter flavor and silicon dioxide (added to prevent caking).
I was happy to see that it is made with brown rice pasta and contains shelled hemp seed, an added nutritional bonus!
It was very easy to make!
I boiled the pasta for about 10 minutes. On a separate pan, I cooked the powder with some olive oil and then mixed the pasta and powder together.
I enjoyed it with a side salad and steamed broccoli.
The pasta was delicious! It had a delicious cheesy flavor and had a little bit of spice to it. It almost reminded me of Hamburger Helper! It is a great option for those with celiac or for anyone who is lactose intolerant.
Last week I tried the Gluten Free Pizza Crust!
The nutrition stats were pretty good. Just 100 calories per slice and made with brown rice flour.
This was my first time ever making a pizza crust but it was pretty easy!
I just mixed it with water, oil, and spread it on my pizza pan.
I added red sauce, mushrooms, mozzarella cheese slices, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning
I had some side salad and beer on the side of course!
I let the pizza cook for about 20 minutes! It looked and smelled delicious!
I cut myself 2 slices. I think I put too much sauce on it because it turned out a little soggy. Now that I am reading the cooking instructions again, I think I missed that last sentence about cooking it for an extra 10-15 minutes! No wonder! It was still soft and delicious. I just prefer my pizza crispy and a little burnt.
Wonderful dinner! I still have one more crust to make so next time I will be sure to cook it longer!

The pizza crust sounds fabulously easy and delish.
I noticed you review a fair amount of gluten free goodies. If you don’t mind my asking, do you have gluten issues? I’ve never sought out gluten free foods unless I am sharing with a friend who has can’t have gluten which is why I noticed. You totally don’t have to answer, I understand it’s personal. Just curious

Have fun at the blog conference! I look forward to reading all about it

I don’t have gluten issues (as far as I know) but I’ve found that gluten free products still taste great so I am always open to trying new products!

I won’t enter the giveaway because I can’t eat that food
Even gluten free products often have ingredients I need to watch out for. Oh well, thanks for the opportunity! I have actually found a fantastic pizza recipe that I make with oat flour. Even NIck loves it.
I hope you are having a GREAT time at FitBloggin! I still don’t have a clear idea of what it is, so I expect a full recap!
HAve a great weekend Missy.
