In less than three weeks, we will be gathering with loved
ones to celebrate Thanksgiving. And one day after that, the floodgates will
open to the busiest season of the year! Yes, the holidays are drawing near and
with them comes a flurry of holiday shopping, office gatherings, school pageants, and parties to attend and host. It
is a magical time with many special moments to share and enjoy—but it can also
be super busy and potentially stressful if you or your loved ones have
gluten-sensitivity or are Celiac.
Fortunately, technology is here to make our lives easier
this season! From mobile banking to Twitter to Words with Friends, apps have
become a big part of a lot of our lives. And happily, there are some great apps
to help you make gluten-free choices during the holidays. So whether you are
gluten-free and needing help finding a g-free friendly place to eat in between
shopping sprees or you are hosting a holiday event and want to have g-free offerings,
I’d like to share some of my go-to apps that can help you make g-free choices
this holiday season. Take a look!
Find Me Gluten Free
What a cool app this is – it’s my favorite of all the apps I’ve got on my home screen. Think of Yelp or Urbanspoon for gluten-free eateries, and that’s Find Me Gluten Free: restaurant reviews, pricing, contact information and directions, all gluten free and all at the push of a button. Perfect for traveling or just exploring your own area!

ShopWell Healthy Diet
& Grocery Food Scanner
Oh boy, this app has saved me so much time in Google searches and label reading. Just open this amazing program up, scan the barcode of the grocery store item in question, and voila: you get an indication of whether or not it contains gluten! To top that, if it does, the app provides recommendations on alternatives.

Easy Gluten Free
Recipes
What app collection would be complete without a gluten-free recipe database? This handy app provides more than 100 recipes, complete with specific brand names (love that idea!) to help remove time-consuming guesswork from gluten-free cooking. It even has a share feature so you can pass recipes along to friends, and a grocery list that you can email to yourself! Wow!
