Buying What We Believe In...
Click to read a few more words about these brands and products...
We know that the quality of foods we put in our bodies, the items we use for health and personal care, all the products we enjoy using every day in and around our homes, and the things we choose to care for and clean for our families and our spaces are essential to our overall health and well-being.
We buy what we love to use and believe in. Like everyone, my family has favorite products we’ve come to love from manufacturers we trust. Foods, spices and ingredients, cleaning and household items, and other products we’ve personally tried, used, tested, and do not hesitate to recommend. That’s why I’ve teamed up to share the very best of what we’ve found.
Through literally years of clean eating, gluten-free taste-testing, wholesome and natural product testing, combined with professional career backgrounds in the food and dairy manufacturing, pharmaceutical, and healthcare industries, Dear Hubby and I have learned a lot about quality ingredients, gluten-free products, clean eating, and healthy living.
We’ve also searched and tried out what is available, but more importantly, sorting out what tastes delicious, is easy to use and prepare, works, and performs the way we would expect it to, while meeting what we consider to be pretty high standards.
We are pleased to share a superior lineup of foods, ingredients, health, personal care, home care, and pet care products we’re sure you’ll love.
Here you’ll find quality pantry staples, beauty products, health care items, supplements, personal care items, and cleaning supplies manufactured at least 85% Non-GMO. In addition, all are certified gluten-free, containing less than <20 ppm of gluten to protect buyers and their families – including consumers like us and those in our family who have Celiac disease, gluten intolerances and sensitivities, sensitive skin, and a desire to eat and live as healthy as possible. And, with 100% of these items being certified gluten-free, available at a reasonable price, and of exceptional quality, we’re sure you’ll love everything as much as we do!

100% Pure Beauty Line
After tirelessly searching for a gluten-free makeup line, a local health food store introduced me to 100% PURE™ Beauty and Skin Care. I’ve used several of their best-sellers since 2015.
While some research suggests that gluten in topical products may be absorbed into the bloodstream through the skin, experts have largely dismissed this. However, there are many…

GliadinX® is the most effective biocatalyst neutralizing gliadin, the damaging component of gluten.
We get it. It’s a big problem. Adhering to a strict gluten-free diet is challenging—and sometimes impossible. Accidental ingestion or cross-contamination too often results in unintentional exposure to gluten, which can wreak havoc on your body.
That’s where GliadinX comes in…

Gluten-Free Pantry - ingredients & sources
─ Gluten-Free Flours ─
Pantry Stocked Flours and Ready-to-Go Flour Blends
Whenever I hear about a gluten-free ready-to-go flour blend I haven’t tried, I whisk it into recipes I regularly make to see if I like it, how it works, and how it tastes. Usually, the process also requires adjusting the moisture ratio and tweaking, replacing, or sometimes even omitting other ingredients because not all gluten-free flour blends or flours are equal. Ultimately, substituting one flour blend for another can change the recipe entirely, often affecting the taste and texture of the finished baked good or pastry you’re making.
Here are links to the gluten-free ready-to-go flour blends and stand-alone flours I regularly stock in my pantry. These are my go-tos for most of the recipes on GfreeDeliciously.com.
That said, I urge you always to use the flour(s) or flour blend suggested in the recipes for the best results. Every recipe you’ll find undergoes hours of testing and perfecting using the flour or a combination of flours for the best taste and texture possible.
Finally, if you’re looking for gluten-free cake flour, you’ll need my recipe to fill that gap in the available ready-made flour blends for purchase.

─ Gluten-Free Pastas ─
Favorite Gluten-Free Pasta Brands
Over the years, we’ve tried many gluten-free pasta brands. Bionaturae and Jovial gluten-free pasta varieties are easy-to-find favorites in our dry pantry. Of course, there are a few others, especially Cappellos (fresh-frozen pastas kept in the freezer), Pappardelle’s excellent dry pastas and flavors for special occasions, and other specialty pastas and fun shapes for occasional dishes when we want to get a little fancier or simply nothing else will do in a recipe.
We are so lucky to have many options in markets, both online and locally available. I hope you enjoy our recommendations from this selection of favorites.
- Jovial -
Jovial brown rice pasta varieties are a delicious alternative to wheat-based pasta for those who need to avoid gluten. Our family loves these noodles, with even our gluten-eaters raving that they don’t feel bloated after eating them!
You’ll find links in our recipes for many specific shapes used. Below are some of the more difficult-to-find shapes, along with a brief bit on why we love them.
Jovial Lasagna Noodles
These lasagna noodles are super tasty and have a great texture. I’ve added them dry straight out of the box for slow cooker lasagna, and pre-cooked them for traditional lasagna dishes, enjoying perfectly cooked noodles every time.
Jovial Stelline Pasta
Who couldn’t love these fun little star-shaped pasta shapes? These delicious little stars are perfect for soups, maintaining their shape and texture when kept warm, even when reheated the next day.
For the yummiest results, cook separately and rinse to remove any extra starchiness before adding to your soup.
Jovial Shells Pasta
I love shell pasta to make the prettiest pasta salads and creamy casseroles! These shells cook up nicely without becoming mushy or falling apart, providing just the right amount of bite in your final dish. The taste is very close to what I remember wheat-based pasta tastes like. Who knew gluten-free pasta could taste so good!
Jovial Egg Tagliatelle Pasta
One of my absolute top favorites of gluten-free pastas is Jovial Egg Tagliatelle! These noodles are just the right thickness, cooking up tender, and retaining a perfect texture even after refrigeration and reheating. You’ll love them in soups or any recipe that calls for egg noodles—an ideal substitute for busy days when there’s no time for making egg noodles from scratch.
Jovial Manicotti Pasta
Finally, you don’t have to feel like you’re missing out! Manicotti pasta is perfect for filling and serving with a side salad, making for a simple yet traditional Italian dinner.
Jovial Orzo Pasta
A versatile, tiny pasta, Jovial Orzo Pasta is fantastic for adding to soups, creating simple sides, or combining in casseroles, skillet meals, and more! It has a perfect, chewy texture that’s nearly indistinguishable from wheat-based orzo (according to Dear Hubby). Definitely a winner for folks requiring a gluten-free diet!
- Bionaturae -
Traditional gluten-free pasta shapes that cook “Al Dente!” (It’s true!)
This is our go-to gluten-free pasta. A bit pricy, but Bionaturae’s Gluten Free pastas (Elbows, Linguine, Spaghetti, Fusilli, Penne, Rigatoni) are excellent! Fresh from the pot, I’d call them indistinguishable from the usual high-end, wheat-based pastas that gluten-eaters are used to. If you have craved great tasting gluten-free pasta with a wonderful mouth feel that’s not grainy, get set for experiencing real pasta again!

My favorite Spice Shops for Gluten-free seasonings and spices
One of my guilty pleasures is the convenience of shopping online for the seasonings and spices I keep in my pantry. So, I’m happy to shout it from the rooftops when I find excellent quality, flavor, and freshness in what I buy. I also love spending hours, whenever I can, in spice shops. If you’re into cooking with spices, I’m sure you’ll agree there’s nothing quite like the sensory experience that visiting your local spice shop can bring to soothe your cooking soul.
Over the years, I’ve narrowed my spice and seasoning suppliers to two wonderful companies offering the best experiences, no matter how you shop. Both offer online ordering for convenience, which is great if you can’t make it to one of their quaint in-person shops scattered across the US. You can also rest assured that most of their seasonings and spices are gluten-free — and if you have questions, whether by phone or in person, the staff at either shop is super helpful.
You’ll love each of these American companies for its reasonable shipping costs and quick delivery. Both shops offer free shipping on orders over $49+. Additionally, you’ll love finding a bevy of wonderful recipes shared by chefs through each site!
Savory Spice Shop is based in Denver, Colorado, and has stores nationwide. As a bonus, they also have a Savory Rewards Loyalty Club program where you can earn points through purchases. US shipping is a flat rate of $8 on orders up to $49. Additionally, they offer in-store pickup as a free option for added convenience. If you would like to place an order to be picked up at a specific store, you can contact that store directly or select that store during the checkout process when ordering online.
The Spice House is based in Chicago, Illinois, with stores nationwide and shipping within the US. They also offer 2.4 oz. to 2.8 oz. Flatpacks with no-rush free shipping. Flatpacks are shipped free as an economy service (delivered by the United States Postal Service – USPS). On average, free no-rush shipping orders are packed up and shipped within 1-3 business days, and then typically reach their destination 3 to 8 business days after the date of shipment.
While you can get just about any seasoning, spice, or popular blend you may be looking for at either shop, you’ll find a few of my regularly stocked (in no particular order) can’t-live-without items and links to things I often shop for below.
Baking spices & Extracts
Keep your pantry stocked with sugars and pure extracts for all those sweet cravings or baking adventures! Check out the excellent selection of baking essentials, with plenty of varieties.
If you’re into baking, you’ll want to stock up on common spices like cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, and ginger. They’re must-haves for whipping up delicious treats. Mix other sweet spices and fruity flavors to jazz up cakes, cookies, desserts, and pies. These aren’t just for the holidays; they’re great all year round!
BBQ Rubs & Grilling Spices
Excellent grilling starts with the perfect spices, BBQ blends, and meat rubs. Whether you’re hunting for killer burger seasonings or the best rubs for chicken, steak, or seafood, Savory Spice has got your back. If you’re into low-and-slow BBQ, there’s everything from sweet to smoky BBQ sauce flavors to amp up your grilling game!
So, whether you’re seasoning up some pork or rubbing down those ribs, this lineup of grilling blends is here to help you become a cookout champ right in your own backyard!
Salt-Free Cajun Blackening Seasoning
If you’re skipping the salt but still want loads of Cajun tasty flavor, this salt-free Cajun blackening seasoning is for you! We love it for adding a spicy zing to fries, homemade chicken nuggets, and fishsticks, catfish, burgers, and more. Use it as a blackening spice or as an all-purpose seasoning—either way, it’ll give your meals a spicy boost without the extra sodium!
You’ll love this traditional Cajun spice blend of paprika, onion, salt, garlic, pepper, chiles, mustard powder, cumin, thyme, cayenne, oregano, sage, and celery. If you prefer the version with salt, go here.
Longs Peak Pork Chop Spice
This fantastic blend of pork chop seasoning is packed with smoky vibes and delicious flavors, making it our go-to seasoning for pork chop recipes, no-holds-barred. We’re pretty sure this salt-based rub is the absolute best for pork chops, but it’s also great for other meats like BBQ ribs and chicken wings!
Try Longs Peak seasoning as a rub to ramp up that fantastic smoky flavor you’re craving, even when it’s too chilly outside to fire up the grill.
If you’re looking for more complementary flavors to go with pork, there’s always salt and pepper, but you might also want to try brown sugar, garlic, and onion.
Salt-Free Summit County Seasoning
Summit County, a mountain getaway region in Colorado known for delicious stews and soups from around the globe, inspires the Summit County Seasoning spice blend!
A gluten-free alternative to other crockpot seasoning packets, it’s great for homemade soups and stews that require a slow-cooking method. It’s a salt-free, flavorful blend made with black pepper, garlic, onion, fennel, and more. Use it to add outstanding flavor to…
Taco Seasoning
This gluten-free taco seasoning is a total crowd-pleaser! You really have to try it to believe how delicious it really is. It’s the secret to making perfect, flavorful tacos every time, whether using ground beef, turkey, chicken, or even tofu — whatever meat you’re into! Plus, it’s fantastic for chili and burritos, or adding Mexican flavor to just about anything!
Whether you’re craving nachos or enchiladas, once you get a taste of these freshly ground taco spices—mixed with chiles, garlic, cumin, Mexican oregano, and a bunch of other tasty stuff—it’ll be your new go-to for taco night too!
Roasted Granulated Garlic
With the most delicious roasted garlic flavor, this roasted granulated garlic powder can replace real garlic, traditional granulated garlic, or garlic powder in any recipe. It will enhance and add depth of garlic flavor to any of your home-cooked dishes.
I especially love using roasted garlic powder because it doesn’t spoil. It’s also sooo…good sprinkled on homemade air-fried zucchini chips. Yummm!
Granulated Toasted Onion
Sprinkle some delicious, toasty onion flavor on almost any dish! This granulated toasted onion powder is made by roasting white onions until they’re nice and golden brown and then dehydrating them. It’s perfect for seasoning all kinds of meats and veggies, or you can mix it into soups and stews. Use it instead of regular white onion to kick up the flavor!
Kitchen Spice Essentials
Whether setting up a new kitchen or restocking your pantry, this collection of herbs and spices is a great starting point for making delicious meals at home, from everyday to gourmet.
Only available online from The Spice House, it includes:
- Sweet Basil
- Hungarian Sweet Paprika
Berbere Spice
Complex yet versatile, Berbere Spice enhances various dishes. The combined spices’ warm, spicy, sweet, and citrusy elements create a complex fusion of seasoning that adds flavor to many types of protein, fruits, and vegetables. It’s also essential for traditional Ethiopian dishes like my recipe for Berbere Shrimp Curry.
This Berbere spice blend can be used as a dry rub or blended with oil or water to create a flavorful paste. It’s essential for traditional Ethiopian dishes and tasty as a rub for grilled vegetables, fish, and poultry.
Taylor Street Garlic Herb Blend
Taylor Street Garlic & Herb seasoning is named for a Chicago neighborhood with a long history of Italian campanilismo, or “sense of place.” That feeling remains to this day in the many bakeries, pizzerias, and delicatessens that flourish there.
This seasoned salt blend makes the best garlic bread we know of—sprinkle it on buttered bread and broil or toast until golden brown. It’s also a staple in our kitchen for making the most delicious shrimp scampi, served as an easy stand-alone dish, topped on a baked potato, or added to pasta!
House Blend Seasoned Salt
A go-to in our everyday cooking, this flavorful seasoned salt blend mixes flake salt and paprika with over twenty herbs and spices to create the perfect all-in-one seasoning, adding a burst of flavor to every dish.
We love this blend, which is ideal for seasoning everything from roasted vegetables and meat to soups, stews, and popcorn. The versatile mix balances the warm notes of paprika, garlic, and onion with just a pinch of sweetness.
You’ll find it in several of my recipes as an ingredient. I even love to sprinkle it onto cottage cheese for a quick and tasty lunch!
Central Street Old World Seasoning
Central Street Old World Seasoning is a workhorse of a spice blend named after The Spice House flagship store in Evanston, Illinois.
The company’s best-selling all-purpose salt-free seasoning. It is excellent as a meat rub or marinade, in soups, stews, and roasted vegetables.
We love it for its robust flavor, which is salt-free without compromising taste. It’s a great one-stop seasoning for Midwestern Meatloaf. Use about 1 teaspoon per pound for meat and 1 teaspoon per cup for soups or stews.
Course Ground Tellicherry Pepper
You will not find a fresher pepper than Tellicherry Pepper from The Spice House. We especially love this course-ground pepper, which adds the perfect peppery bite to everything from eggs to steak.
Say goodbye to bland, mass-produced pepper from big manufacturers. These Tellicherry peppercorns are ground from extra-large berries left to ripen longer on the vine, which lets the flavor maximize the berries’ rich fruitiness. You won’t believe the difference!
Also available in Fine Ground, Cracked, or Whole Tellicherry Peppercorns.

Thermoworks
For years, Thermoworks professional thermometers have been our favorites. They are fast, accurate, and user-friendly. While they are all wonderful, the Thermoworks Thermapen One is by far the instant-read thermometer I reach for the most. It has all the handy extra features we like (a long, folding probe, a simple-to-read backlit display that rotates depending on your orientation, and an auto-sleep mode), and none that we don’t. While it’s a little expensive, it’s incredibly durable and…
