BJ's Wholesale: What's gluten-free here?

Is this membership worth it?
maybe

So we ventured off to BJ's Wholesale last night because they had a great deal going on with their membership (14 month instead of 12). I figured, its got to be worth a shot since I'm going to be paying more money for food items due to everything being vegan and gluten free. Well I was slightly dissapointed with their selection of gluten free products. They had a few (and I mean a few) things to offer such as apple/ fruit sauces an these buddy fruits which are great for the lunch boxes. They also had lots of things like organic agave and quinoa at very low regular prices (Quinoa was $4.99 for a big bag which I stocked up on). I was kind of dissapointed at their cereal selection. They didn't have Rice Chex which really was the main reason I went there, but they did have a good price on soy and almond milk. Overall, It was ok, but I'd like to try some of the other wholesale places like Costco and Sam's to see if they offer more selections of allergy free products to their consumers. I want the best bang for my buck, so right now I'd have to say that BJ's may be good for some things, but a bit of a dissapointment in the gluten free product arena.

Day 1: Plant Based and A Good Day

Day One 1: Went off without a hitch. As you can see from the chart, there are alot of ways he could go with his day, but for a Monday, this is stellar. Usually it takes William until Tuesday or Wednesday to get back into the swing of things at school. He is usually still wired and fired up from the weekend and it takes him a day or two to cool it down to focus in school. It is great that he didn't get marked for any thing but a good day. Usually his marks include not following directions or not listening (which I feel is common for a kid diagnosed with both Autism and ADHD, but what do I know). The fact that neither of these was checked on a Monday is clearly saying something. Lunch was served with a salad with extra virgin olive oil dressing, broccoli, carrots, lettuce, chia seeds and walnuts. He didn't eat the walnuts, but he ate everything else, including the pineapple and gluten free popcorn. He always drinks water, and nothing but water so he was happy.

Tomorrow's another day, so we shall see how he does with my next creation (gluten-free vegan pizza!) I hope by the end of this experiment to compile kid friendly lunch box recipes to share with everyone. Seems like that is really missing in the GFV world. Most recipes aren't kid tested first and don't look that appealing in my opinion. This will be a stapler when I can't find anything else to do.
