Food Review: Ian's Cheesy French Bread Pizza

My boyfriend had found this product and purchased it for me to try. Today, I decided to test this product out.
Inside the box, were two French bread pizzas. I microwaved the pizza for 2 and a half minutes, and let it cool for 1 minute. The pizza was very cheesy, which I really liked.
Unfortunately, that was the only thing about the pizza that I liked. Because I made the mistake of microwaving the pizza, there was no crunch factor. I also found the pizza sauce to be a little bland.

If you're wondering about the nutritional factors, well, I hope you're sitting down. There are 260 calories in one French bread pizza. It is high in saturated fats, and chock full of sodium.

The French bread pizza is unlike any of its competitors, meaning, it is gluten, wheat, dairy, casein, egg, soy, and nut free.

This product is good to have around if you are looking for a quick lunch. Though, I highly recommend that you cook the pizza in the oven. Do NOT make the mistake I made and microwave the pizza.

Ian's Cheesy French Bread Pizza can be found in the natural foods (freezer) section of your local supermarkets. I think my boyfriend purchased this product at Target.

Celebrities who have Celiac Disease

Getting diagnosed with Celiac Disease can be pretty tough (believe me, I remember how hard it was for me). You may be the first among your family and/or friends that has been diagnosed as Celiac. It can be lonely (even though my grandmother had it, and I was partially raised by her, she had been gone for a few years when I was diagnosed. I had no one). What gave me some comfort was that I was not alone. Some of the celebrities I look up to were also Celiac Disease sufferers. People like Elizabeth Hasselbeck and Emmy Rossum had been living with the disease for years before I was diagnosed. I researched both and learned a lot from them. Also, learning that my first celeb crush has 2 Celiacs in his family really helped me feel less alone. Here is a list of celebs who have diagnosed Celiac Disease: Elizabeth Hasselbeck (public figure) Emmy Rossum (actress) Wil Wheaton's mom and sister Meg Cabot (author) Sarah Joy Brown (actress) Joe C (rapper who frequently performed with

South Park's Gluten-Free Ebola Episode

photo credit: southparkdigital Greetings Celiac Warriors! Recently, South Park did a gluten free episode that got a lot of attention in the gluten free and Celiac communities. For the most part, the reaction has been positive. Many folks, including myself, found it hilarious. You may be wondering what the episode was about. I'm going to give you the cliff notes version: The episode starts off with the kids returning to school after their start up company fails. Then the show cuts to the teachers lounge where the teachers are discussing Mr. Mackey who has gone gluten free. Mr. Mackey comes back and starts blaming all the world's problems on gluten. A co-worker becomes annoyed by all the gluten free talk and starts screaming at Mr. Mackey to shut up. Mackey states that behavior problems are due to gluten consumption. A female teacher expresses interest in going gluten free. Later on, the boys are on the radio promoting an "epic" party. Callers ask the boys i

Celiac Women At a Decreased Risk for Hormone-Related Cancers.

When it comes to Celiac Disease, there really are not many benefits to the disease. However, research has shown that women, who have been diagnosed with Celiac Disease, are at a lower risk for hormone-related cancers, which include Endometrial, Breast, and Ovarian Cancers. Women with Celiac Disease are 15% less likely to develop Breast Cancer, 40% less likely to develop Endometrial Cancer, and 11% less like to develop Ovarian Cancer. Researchers believe that this is due to a decreased level of female hormones that promote reproductive Cancers.
