As a Gluten Free person when it comes to food, life is a little more difficult. That also carries over to food gifts. In the corporate world I’m often given food gifts from vendors like donuts, pastries, breads, etc. that I can’t eat. My co-workers happily eat my gifts while I dream of getting food I can actually eat! I recently discovered a company who can fill the food gift gap for Gluten Free eaters!
So Lucky Gifts has a number of great Gluten Free gift boxes for almost any occasion. The company was started by three friends, one of which has Celiac Disease who “was frustrated by the lack of selection available for gourmet gluten-free food and gifts with style and charm.” They find gourmet Gluten Free products and pair them together to create gift boxes ranging from a Gluten Free Starter Kit to Seasonal Gift boxes to the So You’re Traveling box.
I had the opportunity to try the So You Like Breadsticks box. It came with 3 boxes of Chebe Garlic Onion Breadstick Mix, an Italian herb mix and a garlic salt packet from Salt Sisters. The gift box was beautifully wrapped and decorated, even down to the little details!
When I first opened the box I thought, “I’ll make Gluten Free pasta with breadsticks.” However my pantry was lacking a few items to make that happen so I switched gears. With the Super Bowl last Sunday I wanted to make a fun appetizer and decided on pigs in a blanket. I followed the directions on the box for the breadsticks but instead of making all breadsticks I wrapped pieces of hot dog in a couple. I baked them according to the time specified and viola Gluten Free pigs in a blanket! The uneaten breadsticks I put in the fridge.
Monday night I made pizza so the leftover breadsticks were a perfect fit. I decided to mix some EVOO and the garlic salt together and brush onto the breadsticks before I heated them up in the toaster oven. They came out super tasty even on day two!
I has used the italian herb mix in a few dishes in the past week to include pizza, Quinoa pizza treats and pepperoni pasta bake. It is very versatile and has added great flavor. I’m looking forward to trying it on other dishes.
Overall I was pleasantly surprised how versatile items in the gift box have been. I wish my vendors would send me So Lucky gift boxes instead of donuts!
