A perfect liaison to healthy and healthful weight loss
By Dr. Danielle West Stellick

When Carla asked me to try Kirstie Alley’s gluten-free Organic Liaison [website no longer exists products, Rescue Me and Release Me, I was definitely excited. As most of you know from my guest blog writings for Gluten Free Recipe Box, I am a foodie. I love to cook and bake, and somehow or other, unlike the TV celebrity chefs, I eat more than just the taste test to demonstrate how good the product is. I eat the whole thing – batch of cookies, cake, or whatever. Therefore, over the last several years, I have gained weight; all the weight I had lost due to illness, and then some, has packed itself on me. One of the major challenges of being gluten-free is to make certain everything you ingest or gets near you is gluten-free, weight loss aids included! And, I have to say that despite my normal skepticism of any supplement with a celebrity name or endorsement, I was pleasantly surprised. Kirstie did it right with Organic Liaison!

Image: Pasta Prima Gluten Free Ravioli

All reviews and giveaways published this month are part of my “Gluten Free Products I Love” giveaway theme. Pasta Prima’s Gluten Free Ravioli, are always on my list of favorites! In September 2011 they sent me several packages to sample, and I fell in love with the Butternut Squash Ravioli. A matter of fact, I was caring for my ill father at the time. I had my sister, who eats mostly gluten food, taste one, and she was oooing and awing over them. They are so amazing, that when I was consulting a well known Italian restaurant I suggested that they offer them as a gluten free option on their menu.
