Potatoes are a gluten-free dieters dream. They are fresh, natural and versatile, plus you know youre whole family will enjoy them. Jen Caffertys Top Three Tips for Eating Gluten-Free 1.Stick to eating "real food." Avoid processed foods and learn how to prepare your own meals using fresh ingredients that are naturally gluten-free, like potatoes, which can serve as a substitute for foods that gluten- free eaters often crave, like pasta and bread. 2.Incorporate whole grains, like quinoa and nutrient-dense vegetables, like potatoes, spinach and broccoli, into your diet on a regular basis to ensure you are getting proper nutrients and maintaining a balanced diet. 3.Dont automatically assume that foods like pizza and lasagna are off-limits. You can find gluten-free pizza dough options available in many supermarkets and its easy to make using gluten-free flour. And you wont even miss the noodles in the USPBs Gluten-Free Potato Lasagna recipe.
