Menu Close All About Me Living With Celiac Resources Helpful Links Expert Advice Grocery Store Finds Trader Joe's Stop & Shop Skincare and Makeup Restaurant Recommendations (blog) Recipes Stop & Shop Finds My family and I do a lot of shopping at Stop & Shop, which has a wide variety of gluten-free options. Below is a list of some of my favorites. It's important to note that in most large grocery stores like Stop & Shop there is usually a section of one of the aisles devoted to gluten-free food. These aisles mostly contain, bread, rolls, crackers, pretzels, and other items that have to be made specifically gluten free. That doesn't mean that there aren't other gluten-free options around the store, but the gluten-free aisle is definitely a good place to start looking for gluten-free food. Here are some of my favorite products and brands that you can look for at Stop & Shop. Not all of these products are guaranteed to be available in your location, but I am typically able to find them in my usual store. Breakfast Dinner Snacks Breakfast Katz Strawberry Toaster Pastries These toaster pastries are a gluten-free version of pop tarts and they are delicious. Both of my sisters love pop tarts so they were both super excited when they realized we had bought a gluten-free version of them. We tried these pop tarts and loved them, and my sisters told me that they tasted almost identical to regular pop tarts. They also come in a cinnamon flavor which is also delicious! You will most likely be able to find these in the gluten-free aisles of your Stop & Shop. Schar's Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Muffin Schar's Chocolate Chip Muffins are a simple and easy breakfast option. These muffins are very convenient and they individually wrapped. I love these muffins, and they perfect for mornings before school or any time you're in a rush. These muffins also come in lots of other flavors such as Classic and Chocolate, but chocolate chip is my personal favorite. I found these muffins in the gluten-free aisles of my Stop & Shop. Chocolate Chex Chocolate Chex are one of my favorite gluten-free cereals. I have been eating Chex for my entire life and the Chocolate flavor is my favorite, but I also love Honey Nut. Chex makes Chocolate Chex, Rice Chex, Cinnamon Chex, Vanilla Chex, Corn Chex, and Honey Nut Chex which are all gluten free. Chex also makes Wheat Chex, which are gluten free, so make sure to avoid these. Chex are naturally gluten free, so you will be able to find them with the rest of the cereal, rather than in the gluten-free aisle. Dinner Barilla Gluten Free Pasta Barilla Gluten Free Pasta is my family's Stop & Shop Pasta go-to. This pasta is delicious and it is my favorite out of all gluten-free pasta that I've tried from Stop and Shop. Barilla makes a ton of different pasta shapes gluten free such as penne, elbows, spaghetti, and more. You will most likely be able to find this pasta with the rest of the pasta, rather than in the gluten-free aisle. Schar's Gluten Free Ciabatta Rolls Schar's rolls are my favorite type of rolls and bread. I love these rolls for sandwiches and I often use them as burger buns as well. Schar's also makes Hotdog Rolls, Sandwich Rolls, Baguettes, and more. Schar's rolls are definitely my top choice. In my Stop & Shop, these rolls are located in the gluten-free aisles. Mission Gluten Free Tortillas My family often buys these tortillas and they are great for tacos and quesadillas. These tortillas are my favorite Stop & Shop tortillas, and we buy these pretty much every week. I really like these tortillas and I would definitely recommend them. 4C Gluten Free Bread Crumbs These gluten-free bread crumbs are a perfect way to make your dinners more interesting. I mostly use these to bread chicken, and it always comes about delicious. These will also most likely not be located in the gluten-free aisles, but with the rest of the breadcrumbs, Nature's Promise Gluten Free Chicken Nuggets My family has been buying these chicken nuggets for as long as I can remember and they have always been delicious. My parents used to always make these for my sisters are me when they needed a quick dinner. These chicken nuggets are crunchy and delicious, and you can find them in the frozen section. Gluten Free Bob's Red Mill 1 to 1 Baking Flour I am including this product because it is a good gluten-free flour that is usually available in the gluten-free section at Stop & Shop. This product is definitely my second favorite gluten-free flour and I often buy it and bake with it, so I would recommend this flour. My favorite gluten-free flour, which I usually need to order on amazon, is Cup4Cup, however this flour is a good back up if you need flour and don't have time to order Cup4Cup. Snacks Tostitos Scoops Tostitos are one of the many snacks you'll find that are naturally gluten free, and they're my favorite brand of tortilla chips. Most tortilla chips are gluten free because they're typically made of corn (but it is still important to read the ingredients just in case). You can find these with the rest of the snacks and chips in your Stop & Shop. There are tons of other similar snacks that are naturally gluten free, so make sure to read the labels! Tate's Gluten Free Chocolate Chip Cookies I have tried a lot of gluten-free chocolate chip cookies from a ton of different brands and the Tate's cookies are definitely my favorite. These are a perfect snack and I almost always have them in my house. You may be able to find these in the gluten-free aisle but they will most likely be with the regular cookies. Tate's also makes gluten-free lemon, coconut crisp, and snickerdoodle cookies, which are all also delicious. Snyder's Gluten Free Pretzel Sticks Snyder's is my favorite brand of gluten-free pretzels, and my family always has them in the house as snacks. I have some friends who buy these gluten-free pretzels instead of regular pretzels because they like them better. Snyder's makes mini pretzels and pretzel rods as well, which are also delicious. You can most likely find these pretzels with the regular snacks, not in the gluten-free aisle. Schar's Gluten Free Entertainment Crackers Schar's Entertainment Crackers are my family's favorite type of gluten-free crackers. These are a perfect for a snack or for get togethers. You can find these crackers in the gluten-free section of your Stop & Shop. Schar's also makes other types of crackers which I would recommend as well. Glutino Gluten Free Chocolate Wafer The Glutino chocolate wafers are one of my favorite snacks that I love to have in my house. These wafers are crunchy, chocolatey, and delicious, and they are great for dessert or an after school snack. You will most likely find these in the gluten-free section of your Stop & Shop. These wafers also come in vanilla, which is delicious as well!

Menu Close All About Me Living With Celiac Resources Helpful Links Expert Advice Grocery Store Finds Trader Joe's Stop & Shop Skincare and Makeup Restaurant Recommendations (blog) Recipes All About Me Hi, my name is Alex. I'm 17 years old and from northern New Jersey. I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease shortly after I turned three, so I've been living most of my life gluten free. I decided to create Eat Gluten Free with Me as a way to help others with Celiac learn to safely eat and live gluten free. I'm the oldest of three girls and I run track for my high school. I love to hang out with my friends, go shopping, practice sports, ski, go to the beach, and so many other things. This website is a guide for how I am able to do all of these things while being gluten free! In the summer before I was diagnosed with Celiac, I had frequent stomach pain and occasional vomiting. At first, the doctors thought I had a stomach bug, but the symptoms persisted. I was given a blood test, which came back with markers for Celiac. I then had an endoscopy that confirmed the diagnosis. Ever since then I've been living gluten free. Now I want to help others make an easier adjustment to having Celiac Disease. Because I've been gluten free for most of my life, I consider myself somewhat an expert now, but in the beginning, it was much more difficult. Because of my age at the time, my parents had to learn what was safe for me to eat, the best brands to buy, and how to avoid cross contamination, which was a huge and overwhelming task. The purpose of this website is to share my experiences and the ways I've learned to handle my diet and still live a normal and happy life -- in the hopes of making the adjustment to being gluten free easier and less intimidating for others. In this website I will include a general guide to safely eating gluten free, my guides to my favorite restaurants near me and in every place that I travel to, the best gluten-free items to buy at the grocery store, using safe skincare and makeup, and my own recipes for my favorite homemade gluten-free foods. I will also share other reference materials and update you on what I've been doing to advocate on behalf of people with Celiac Disease and gluten/wheat allergies.

All of the food and coffee is always delicious, and I go with my friends and sisters all the time.

The staff is very aware of allergies and I always feel comfortable eating gluten-free food prepared here.
