Believe it or not, I have not had a lot of experience with Indian food in my 37 years. I think I was always scared that I wouldn’t like it and prior to starting the gluten-free diet, I wasn’t very adventurous in trying new foods. I knew what I liked & stuck with those foods. In September I received some samples of Tasty Bite<\/a> products that I have been working through over the past month or so. At first I was a little leary, but I quickly brushed that feeling away and decided to keep an open mind. Boy, am I glad that I did!! I have to tell you that I was a complete moron for not sampling Indian food before. <\/p>\n

When glancing at the Tasty Bite gluten-free product list<\/a>, I was amazed! There are so many different dishes, sauces & rices to choose from. As you can see, I was sent a nice variety of products to sample. <\/p>\n

The rices were nice because they take only 90 seconds in the microwave to cook. This has been very helpful with our hectic schedule lately. I love chickpeas and the Chunky Chickpeas<\/a> did not disappoint. I did add some roasted vegetables to the bowl to help bulk it up. <\/p>\n

The Madras Lentils<\/a> were not only great over the basmati rice, but in a corn tortilla as a taco, too! I love the convenience of these items without all of the added crap that some convenience products have in them. <\/p>\n

The Bombay Potatoes<\/a> make a wonderful side dish for chicken or fish. I love the texture combination of the chickpeas & potatoes. Unique and not something I would have considered putting together before trying this dish. <\/p>\n

The Jaipur Vegetables<\/a> were a nice treat! I loved the raisins in this dish. I had this over rice with a salad on the side. Then I decided that I would add the leftovers to my salad the next day and that was equally delicious. <\/p>\n

I still have to try the Good Korma Simmer Sauce<\/a>, Mushroom Takatak<\/a>, and Punjab Eggplant<\/a>. I think I will be consulting the recipes page <\/a> for some inspiration with the last three items. Just looking over that page made my stomach growl! <\/p>\n

What I really, really like about these products is the simple ingredient lists, as I touched on above. There are no chemicals, preservatives, or words that you can’t pronounce on the packages. I can’t stress how much I love this. Tasty Bite was launched in 1995 and offers 39 different products, most of them being gluten-free. Each product is clearly labeled if it is gluten-free. Tasty Bite products can be found in stores across the US<\/a> or ordered online here.<\/a> There is free shipping on all orders over $65.00. Make sure to check out Tasty Bite on Facebook <\/a> and Twitter<\/a> for all of the latest news & product info.<\/p>\n
