Gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley, is present in more than just breads, pastries, and pasta. It can also be a hidden ingredient in products like soy sauce (choose tamari instead), processed lunch meat, canned soups, and more. Rule of thumb, always check to make sure that the product is labeled gluten free. As for meal planning, these 10 easy, sure-fire recipes prove giving up gluten doesn’t have to mean giving up delicious and satisfying versions of your family’s favorite foods.
