I have an addiction. A salty snacking addiction. My vice: Xochitl Chips
WARNING, do not read any further or you too will become an addict.
I've always been a chips and salty snacks connoisseur, but when I realized I could no longer eat my beloved Cheetos by the handful, I fell into a deep, dark salty snacks depression.
My head hung low as I passed by the chips aisle and headed down the dreaded gluten free aisle. A row full of foods that looked dull and flavorless and quite frankly, just weird. I taste tested snacks with odd textures, peculiar flavors and mysterious scents until I came across my beloved drug of choice, Xochitl Chips.
Hand-made with Stone Ground Corn, these thin, crispy bites of heaven are all natural and gluten free. I would even go so far as to say they rival the chips dished up at the finest hole in the wall Mexican restaurants adorning the city streets.
They compliment all salsas, but I recommend pairing them with one of the following:
-Xochitl Chipotle Medium Salsa (found at Whole Foods)
-Garden Fresh Gourmet Jack's Special Medium Salsa (found at Jewel Osco)
-Salsa Caliente (freshly prepared at the Lakeview Whole Foods and located in the coolers adjacent to the freshly made pizza slices)
Happy snacking!

Better than a Lean Cuisine? You be the Judge!
Gone are the days of popping a gluten-ridden Lean Cuisine into the microwave at work and getting a pipping hot, decently tasty lunch 3 minutes later.
So what's a gluten free guy or gal to do?
Follow these quick and easy steps:
1. Visit your local Jewel-Osco, Dominick's or Whole Foods
2. Locate the frozen foods section
3. Feast your eyes on Cedarlane's Three Layer Enchilada Pie
4. Make a beeline for the checkout
5. Head back to the office
6. Pop that puppy in the microwave
7. ENJOY (Oh, and I hate to be the bearer of bad news...the Pie is actually 2 servings. But, I'm not gonna lie, I usually eat both servings.)
Better than a Lean Cuisine, GUARANTEED!
