One of the big things I missed when going gluten-free was pretzels. I love pretzels. Small & crunchy, warm, soft & hot. I don’t think I have met a pretzel that I didn’t like. Oh yeah, that is because they are purely carbs! HA! There are a couple of companies that make gluten-free pretzels. Ener-G [...]
