Say goodbye to...Starbucks valencia orange cake.

As quickly as it came, it is now gone :( Although I never did get to try it over here in Seoul, this is sad news for the gluten free Starbucks community. The gluten free moist valencia orange cake that came out in spring, is no longer available at Starbucks. On Twitter, Starbucks said, "We heard that it was too much of a treat, and not a nutritious snack. The @KindSnacks bar is replacing it." Fruit and nut bars definitely don't go with coffee like a moist scrumptious cake does. Not happy with this? Tell Starbucks what you think about this! After all, it was your voice that got us this cake in the first place, right?! Until then, if you feel a craving for this delicious treat and have time on your hands, make your very own valencia orange cake.

For those of you loyal readers, you'll notice I'm not posting a recipe like I normally do on Fridays. This Starbucks news is well in need of being circulated for the celiac community ;)

Say hello to...gluten-free blogs & news.

Nowadays we can access all kinds of gf information on the internet. When I was a child, my mother had to make everything from scratch. She shopped mostly at health food stores and only bought whole foods. It was much more difficult then for people to live on a gf diet. Now we have gf labeled foods, health foods stores with gf foods, even grocery stores now carry gf foods, and the internet provides us with never ending resources. I recently stumbled upon the website, 'Sure Talent Books,' which provides countless gf recipes and the latest gf books. It also has a section on the latest gf news and gf blogs. You'll be sure to find some great recipes or news there.
