more reasons to love udi’s.
August 6, 2010
Have we told you lately how much we love Udi’s Gluten Free Foods? Well, if it isn’t clear already: we. are. in. love. The whole grain and white sandwich breads are a total no-brainer, especially if you are a fan of bread straight out of the package (i.e. no toasting), a spongy texture, and bread that tastes like – wait for it – real bread. And if our lives were a line graph, you’d see a huge spike when we discovered a box of Udi’s products on our doorstep last week. Oh, goody! Let the taste-tests begin.
Cinnamon Rolls: We tried these all ways. Straight from the package, toasted, warmed in the microwave, out of the fridge. The texture is like a hearty pastry, and the cinnamon swirl running through the middle of the roll brings really good flavor to the party. Some of us liked the sweet creaminess of the little icing packets that come with the rolls, and some of us preferred the roll au naturale, while still others enjoyed bringing a little fruit to the party and liberally spreading a split roll with homemade peach preserves (good thing there are three of us so we can agree to disagree on how we like our sweets). It seems clear, though, that no matter how you look at this cinnamon roll, it’s gunna be good.
Double Chocolate Muffins-schmuffins! These puffs of heaven should just be called cake. At least that’s what we felt like we were eating. They’re light and spongy, and when warmed in the microwave they have this ooey-gooey thing going on that’s hard not to love. And once the dessert wheels started spinning we imagined all sorts of possibilities for these so-called “muffins.” Like a double chocolate muffin parfait with vanilla ice cream and butterscotch syrup, for starters.
And then there are the bagels. Chewy and porous (pockets for holding minuscule pools of butter), these are great as an underpinning for scrambled eggs, made into a stacked sandwich with hummus, veggies & turkey, or with lox and schmear.
Bottom line? Udi’s rocks. Buy online (get a coupon for $1 off Udi’s products here) or beg your grocer to carry this whole line of products. Trust us. They’ll listen.
