It is so cold outside! I am trying to avoid the bundling and unbundling that is involved in leaving the house. My favorite winter comfort food is a gooey, crispy, grilled cheese sandwich. Grilled cheese and tomato soup go together like peanut butter and jelly – a match as perfect as Harry and Sally. Creamy, crispy, melty, zangy, and warm!
After doing my own research (google, Twitter, and just writing down how I feel after eating certain foods) I discovered I have more energy when I avoid gluten. I do not have celiac disease, but when I eat Gfree, I just feel better! So when I was craving a grilled cheese sandwich, I made it with Udi’s Gluten Free white bread.
Tip: The butter is easier to spread on the bread if you freeze the loaf first!
Then, as a special treat, I love the Gluten Free Dark Chocolate Brownie Bites! Oh they are so rich and delicious! And they are dark chocolate so not overwhelmingly sweet, more full and satisfying.

What is your favorite cold weather comfort food? And do you eat Gluten Free?
I received the bread to review. All opinions are 100% my own.
Sounds delicious and I love grilled cheese. So, I will have to try!!
LOVE Udi’s and love having a grilled cheese with their breads. Last time I made a grilled cheese I added some sauteed onions and leafy greens. Oh my yum.
We are not gluten free family but I am going to send this to my SIL. She has gluten allergies.
I Seriously LOVE Grilled cheese sandwiches and the fact that you can eat or make them gluten-free is awesome and looks like it’s still tasty!
That looks really good. I need some lunch!
these sound perfect for the cold winter days we’ve been having. Id like to try them gluten free too 🙂 thanks for sharing.
This is a great recipe. It looks so easy . I’d love to try it.
looks yummy! we try to eat mostly gluten free food, so I will try this recipe
Those brownie bites are awesome! I would say comfort food for me is anything w/melted cheese, so this idea works, or mac-n-cheese, or pasta with cheese … you get the idea!
Those look delicious!
I’ve never avoided gluten but I feel like I should try and see how it makes me feel. I’ll try to find Udi’s products near me so I can start off with an easy to make grilled cheese sandwich. I adore those! And brownies? Count me in!
I’ve never tried the Udi’s brand before! You can’t go wrong with a good grilled cheese sandwich!
looks really good..ill try it!
HI there! Can you post the links to your research on gluten (e.g. how you determined non-gluten foods gave you more energy)? I run the IBS Hotline (a new one est. 2012) and I’d like to know whatever I can about how foods affect the human body. Thanks!
Hi Bobby! Thanks for the question! This is the book I read. It has all the research in it and is a very valuable resource 🙂 http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/g-free-diet-elisabeth-hasselbeck/1101042630
Other than that book, I have just my experience and the experiences of my friends to share. When I switched to Gfree, I had more energy. It is just as simple as trying something and seeing how it works. It worked for me 🙂 But if you want research and sources, check out the book above 🙂
Thanks much!
I’ll have to be sure to keep this on hand for my gluten-free son when he visits!
I really love the entire line of Udi’s gluten free products! Great to keep on hand for your son!
I’m going to have to try udi’s. thanks for sharing!
Oh I LOVE grilled cheese! And a gluten-free version just makes it all the more wonderful! Thank you, Mama Dweeb 🙂
We’re gluten-free here too. I’ll look for this – thanks for the tip!
My family is GF and we love Udi’s. Their bread is so yummy compared to other GF breads.
I love hearing this!! Thank you Sarah 🙂 I became such a huge fan of Udi’s I have not tried other brands 🙂
Yum We love grilled cheese there! Actually I haven’t made it in quite a while! I’ve never seen that brand before though!
This recipe sounds delicious and so easy to make.
I have wondered how the Udi’s products are. This looks totally tasty!!
I’m going to try this recipe, my son loves Grilled Cheese 🙂

That sounds good… I love grilled cheese sandwiches. I would have to say my favorite comfort food is homemade potato soup
