Terra Verde Farms

We like salsa.  Salsa on chips, eggs, pork, chicken, shrimp, on platters, tacos, and burritos.  We make homemade salsa too but it is nice to have a go to jar available in the house.   There are lots of brands we have tried and a few that have found their way into our kitchen for being both good and GF (Organicville, Cookwell & Company and Mrs. Renfro's).

My wife picked up a jar of Terra Verde Farms Green Chile Salsa.  It is vegan, soy and gluten free.  It tastes fresh - a lot of that depends on the tomatoes and chiles and onions they use and they must have a great fresh supply of fruits and vegetables (yes, if you didn't know a tomato is a fruit).  The salsa has just the right amount of heat and kick.


They are located in Carlsbad, California (Just north of San Diego) and looks like they have another office in Arizona.  As of today they have a new website being produced so it under construction until the  end of July but I am hoping to see what other products they have available.

Stay tuned,

Update 7/16/14

We picked up some more over the weekend and the tomato sauce was a hit with the kids.  We grabbed a pamphlet which noted that all of their products are made with no chemical preservatives, they are all natural - vegan - gluten and soy free.  Their list of preserves includes: apricot, peach-blackberry, plum, raspberry cocoa, blackberry, and strawberry lavender.  They offer blood orange and Meyer lemon marmalade.

How about marinades and sauces?  They have those too.  Listed are a blackberry lavender sauce, tomato walnut vinaigrette, peach pear apple ginger hot sauce, and plum chipotle.

Chile and Tomato products:  Green chile salsa, hatch green chile sauce (which we bought but have not opened yet), and tomato basil garlic sauce.

Other items include Spicy O's, Capsaicin Sensation Jalapeno Marinade, lavender pepper and maple pepper.

Enjoy

Mountain Mike's Pizza

Pizza. One of the things we GF folk miss is pizza, grabbing a slice, ordering a pie, delivery pizza at home. It has been two years since the GF Food Expo in San Diego where I met the owner of the two local  Mountain Mike's Pizza.   He told me a story about his daughter, who has to be GF, and how his restaurants offer safe GF Pizza.  I kept thinking I would stop in - its been two years.  Sam Golding owns the shop in Clairemont Mesa and I believe another in San Carlos. Its not far but not close, so I didn't venture down to the Clairemont shop.  And, I'm apprehensive about new places.  I hate getting sick from contamination. This is the Gluten Free Menu. Let me tell you it was a great experience.  The girl behind the counter knew what she was talking about, they have a good GF menu - not just pizza (they even have three GF beers), and the pizza was delicious. The GF crusts are small, 10 inch.  They are GF, soy, egg and dairy free. ...

Ghostfish Gluten Free Beer

I noticed that I have been slacking on the blog updates.  I do have some recipes to add and a bunch of new GF products that I have found.  But, one of the best new additions I have found was another dedicated GF Brewery out of the incredible Pacific Northwest.  Home to beautiful mountains, rivers, steelhead, salmon and GF Beer.  My other favorite GF beer is just south of these guys in Portland, Oregon - Groundbreaker Brewing  (The brew pub is also a block away from my favorite GF Bakery - New Cascadia Traditional. I found out about  Ghostfish Brewing  after hearing about all of the medals they won at the 2015 Beer events.  They are another dedicated GF Brewer located in Seattle, Washington.  Three guys making great GF beer. I was able to get my hands on three of their beers.  They did not last very long because they were all very good. Grapefruit IPA This won the Bronze Medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival.  Its...

GFAF Expo 2015 San Diego

Image
Well, its over but it was fun.  This was definitely the best expo that I have been to and there was lots to see and try.  The folks at  GFAF Expo  describe themselves as the largest Gluten Free and Allergen Free Expo in the US and I agree. While I was there I met Angela aka the celiac hash girl.  She has a cool  blog (celiachashigirl.com)  that you should check out. Massel's  had a nice booth front and center.  They make gluten free bouillon.  It comes in cubes, a condensed liquid and a granule form.  Not only is it GF but its vegan.  They have vegetable, chicken and beef flavors.  I made Vietnamese Pho with the beef and you would never know that its vegan.  Great to travel with if you cook when you travel - no more searching for GF broths. Udi's  was also up front.  Serving up their snacks and bread.  There stuff is always great and you can always find their bread in my freezer. One of our n...
