Just about every week I meet a new person that is gluten intolerant, aka has Coeliac disease. The disease is caused by a reaction to wheat proteins and the only known effective treatment is a lifelong gluten-free diet.
While a few years ago it might have been more difficult to eat wheat-free, now-a-days it is easier. Today, you can find food that were once only flour and grains – and now they are made with gluten free substitutes! For one, Betty Crocker has many of your typical baking products in gluten free counter-parts. They look the same, and I would say arguably they taste the same!
Betty Crocker is promoting their Gluten Free Line with a fun contest running now until June 30, 2011. During the Betty Crocker Gluten Free Recipe Contest gluten free bakers can enter their gluten free recipe online for the chance to win the grand prize of $5,000. There are also secondary prizes of gluten free products!
So… Hold the gluten, grab your apron and start your ovens!
You can show off the gluten free creative solutions and tasty treats that you’ve created for your family and friends for a chance to win a Grand Prize of $5,000. The grand prize winner will also have the chance to be featured on a Betty Crocker® Gluten Free dessert mix or Bisquick® Gluten Free baking mix package and/or be featured in a Betty Crocker publication! So cool!
All you have to do is submit an original gluten free holiday-themed appetizer, bread or dessert recipe, using any Betty Crocker Gluten Free dessert mix or Bisquick Gluten Free baking mix.
Recipes will be judged on five key categories: taste, creativity, ease of preparation, consumer appeal and appearance. For great recipe tips, ideas, and suggestions, visit www.glutenfreely.com to help get you started and learn more about the Baker’s Challenge Gluten Free Recipe Contest.
In addition to this contest, Betty Crocker is providing one of my readers the chance to win a package of gluten-free products right here at WithOurBest.com to help promote the Baker’s Challenge!
