Coping with a #foodallergy at breakfast just got a little easier
April 19, 2010
There are only so many breakfast options when you’re allergic to milk, wheat, corn, and soy and I’m tired of most of them. I thought for sure my days of butter soaked nook and cranny English Muffins were behind me until I recently discovered gluten free (and milk and corn and soy free) english muffins by Food for Life at my local Whole Foods.
To be honest, it was almost good enough that they come in a package that looks just like the English Muffin package the non-food allergic buy in the REGULAR bread aisle. But it just gets better. They are the same size as regular English Muffins. Again, to the non-allergic maybe that doesn’t seem like such a big deal but after five years of eating ALTERNATIVE bread that’s twice the calories at half the size, the fact that these match the regular version almost exactly was nothing short of miraculous.
But then, I’ve saved the best for last. They pretty much toast up and taste just like the real thing. Check out the nooks and crannies.
I used goat butter which for me takes care of my dairy allergy but for those who can’t do any dairy, these would be great with any kind of spread.
Now if they could just make an allergy free cracker that tastes like a Ritz.

I am loving your blog! Now I have to get these English muffins!
Before learning of my allergies I used to make english muffin pizzas.
