Cocoa Pebbles in Canada!

Huge news for any of you with kids... or those of you with a huge sweet tooth, like me.

Cocoa Pebbles (which was previously not available in Canada) is now available in jumbo boxes from Costco stores in Canada!

And the price is pretty reasonable - only $8.59 for a box, which includes 2 bags inside.

No more driving down to the US to pick up this treat ;)

Enjoy!!
(More on why they were not available here. I'm not sure what changed to allow them in Costco but I'm not gonna complain!)

You will read this in books, websites, forums, blogs -- just about everywhere.

Well, not on this blog.  I want you guys to see proven research that shows blue cheese is gluten-free.  You don't have to hold yourself back any longer.

Alexandra Anca, Registered Dietitian and sponsor of Gluten-Free Ontario, did some research and came to the following conclusion:

"We may conclude that blue cheese is safe for consumption as part of the gluten-free diet."

So go ahead and eat that once forbidden blue cheese.

It's safe.
