Gluten Free Wine...Just In Time!

For those of us that really enjoy a nice glass of wine once in awhile, it is nice to know there are safe wine options out there.  My husband enjoys the gluten free beer, but I have been staying away from wine for the past year, and now that I know of some brands that are safe, I can resume my occasional wine sipping with friends!

Listed below are the companies that have certified their wines are safe and free from gluten:

*Beringer

*Fenn Valley

*Five Oaks

*Ingleside - (Only the Blue Crab Blanc and Blue Crab Blush, Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, Rosato de Sangiovese, Viognier, The Rose, and October Harvest.)

*Kendall Jackson

*La Rocca - All wines are not only gluten free, they are sulfite free too

*Louis Jadot - Only the Maconnais and Beaujolais are made in stainless cask. Their other wine are made in barrels sealed with water and flour.

*Meridian

Break out the cork screw, polish up those glasses, and get ready for the taste of some great wine!

Gluten Free Silly Putty

Here is a fabulous Gluten Free Silly Putty recipe that my kids love to make.  We always appreciate gluten free crafts and activities, so here is one for your craft box! 

Silly Putty - (Grade - Great/Good) Not edible ~ Adult supervision is strongly recommended.

1 cup water
6 Tbsp Mule Team Borax
1/2 cup (4 oz bottle) white school glue
optional: food coloring

1.) Pour 1/2 cup water into a small bowl. Add the Borax and stir until dissolved. Set aside.

2.) Pour the other 1/2 cup of water in a medium-sized glass or metal bowl. Add the glue and stir until combined. Optional: add food coloring and stir to achieve the desired color.

3.) Pour the Borax mixture into the glue mixture. Knead with hands until most of the water is absorbed and the putty can form a ball in your hands. Lift the putty from the bowl and discard the remaining water mixture. Return the putty to the bowl and allow to sit, uncovered for 15-20 minutes or until fairly firm.

4.) Store any unused silly putty in an airtight container.
