Recently I was contacted by Ian’s to review a couple of their newer products and host a giveaway for a really cool prize package for one lucky reader & their friends or family. I have previously tried only a couple of Ian’s products, so I was excited to give some others a try. I was able to try the Chicken Tenders & Pepperoni French Bread Pizza, or maybe I should say Jon was. I was able to get a couple of bites out of the food before he destroyed it and boy, was I glad that I did!
Chicken Tenders
These were some of the best gluten-free chicken tenders that I have tried since going gluten-free. They were very crisp on the outside and tender on the inside, like the name implies. I followed the box directions and made them in the oven (microwave preparation is not recommended). The box says that there 2 servings, 3 ounces each, in the box, but Jon ate the whole box in one sitting. I can see where 2 servings would be possible if these were being fed to a younger child, but otherwise, just 1 serving.
Pepperoni Pizza French Bread Pizza
Another hit from Ian’s! These pizzas were really good. They were crunchy, just like a French bread pizza is supposed to be. Again, Jon polished off this whole box in one sitting. The kid can eat! I was lucky to snap the picture and snag a bite! As with the chicken tenders, the instructions recommend baking in the oven, not the microwave.
Now for the fun stuff!!
Ian’s will be giving away an Allergen Free Food Party Package, serving 14 guests.

My son and me, November 2000. This is before we were gluten-free/diagnosed Celiac.
My 10 year old daughter and husband are celiac.As a family we all follow the diet at home as it makes life simple.
To win a party pack for 14 would be awesome. We would definitely use it for our Halloween party so everyone could eat gluten free without going broke! Alyssa would also love to be just like everyone else.Though she has been gf for 7 years sometimes it is still difficult to be "different"
With dietary restrictions it is a little more challenging to be spontaneous.

[...] Ian’s Review & a Sweepstakes Launch Party [...]
For the first time since I have been diagnosed I have to go on a business trip/conference in December. I am already fretting about things like where can I eat, what will I do if I get sick, how can I prevent cross contamination at a huge conference.
I have a 4 year old daughter and 10 year old son who both have Celiac and, like you said, it is so nice to have something quick and easy for those busy nights because cooking gluten free can be really time consuming.

I'm 41 and found out 4 years ago that I was a Celiac. Since finding out, I've been gluten-free and health-wise doing MUCH better… goodbye migraines, goodbye GERD, goodbye high blood pressure and GOODBYE 60+ pounds! OMG. BUT, I must say, after 35+ years of eating gluten, I definitely know what I'm missing and breaded chicken and pizza are right up there at the top of the list… just below BREAD!

Sensitive to my family diagnosed with celiac's desease, I am always looking for gluten free products that
taste good. These products are awesome and the website is great.
I have to watch alot what I eat because of food allergies and sensitivities — and prediabetes, but I've gotten used to it. It's sometimes more expensive for our grocery bill, but the alternative of not doing it is much, much worse. *Thanks* for the giveaway!

We have to be more prepared for trips. We can't always be spontaneous like we used to be do to food restrictions

I found out in November of 2009 that I have celiac disease. Reading every label on everything has become habit. Eating out has become a chore more then fun. I only like restaurants that are celiac friendly. The cost has hit my budget big time. I have signed up at Ian's and am signed up on gluten free is life on facebook and hit like. Would enjoy a free party. Thank you.
