oooooooh UDI'S!


During a recent trip to Kansas, I came across a new brand of gluten free bread that is the closest thing I can remember to actual white bread... it comes from a bakery out of Boulder, CO called Udi's.

I think I'm in love.

It's soft, spongy, and LIGHT! Nothing like those heavy (ahem Food For Life ahem) rice breads I've been picking up at Trader Joe's for the last few years.

The Udi's white sandwich bread is a revelation... while I was perusing the aisles of Whole Foods in Kansas, I figured I would give the Udi's gluten free loaf a squeeze (I'm one of those people...) and I couldn't believe it. I kept squeezing the loaf over and over (I did buy the one I was squeezing!) because it felt like the white bread I remembered eating all those years ago.

I have been eating the bread right out of the bag and toasted... it's delicious both ways. Now that I'm sitting here writing about it, I'm thinking about going and grabbing a slice.

I thought I wouldn't be able to find this aside from being able to order online, but I found it on Monday at Lassen's in Goleta in the frozen section. I would suggest once you buy it frozen, that you leave it out so it can soften up. If you leave it in the refrigerator, it'll wind up tough. You can also buy it direct from Udi's here.

I'm going to head back and pick up some of the other Udi's items at Lassen's soon... I see they also make a cinnamon roll I'm going to see if they can order for me!
