Run Eat Repeat

The Cheapest Gluten Free Option

24 May

Hello! Do you know the cheapest gluten free ‘bread’ option? I’ll give you a hint – it’s not really bread but it’s a good carb option to wrap up your protein, cheese, butter, PB…

First, let’s talk about running and eating and race medal hangers.

I ran a good 8 miles with 4 strides at the end. My watch would not find a satellite so I don’t know my pace but I used the stopwatch option to time the 4 – 20 second strides.

This weekend when I went to my parents’ I saw my mom’s Run Eat Repeat medal hanger up on the wall. I’m super proud of her! She is on a roll with running lately!!

You can get a Run Eat Repeat medal hanger from Sporthooks here.

On my afternoon walk I saw a little duck family. They were a little bit away so I had to zoom in and that didn’t make for a great picture. I still love them though.

Now let’s talk about the best gluten free option for your wallet…

Corn tortillas are super simple, cheap and versatile. You can get a pack for 30 for $1.50. I actually buy them from the 99 cent store. Most of the time corn tortillas are just corn, water and lime. That’s it!

I had tacos last night. I filled them up with lean ground turkey cooked up with spices and topped with salsa.

Now let’s celebrate the corn tortilla. There are so many ways to enjoy this lil circle of happiness…

      I LOVE corn tortillas. I just heat them in a hot dry pan when I am in a hurry. I put lunchmeat, avocado etc in them.

      Help! I love corn tortillas but whenever I use them without frying them they just seem to rip…am I doing something wrong?

      I’m going to have to go with flour tortillas! It’s a taste/texture thing. Though there are certainly times when a corn tortilla is better, and the price obviously can’t be beat!

      Oh…..love this idea! Thanks for sharing! I just started Trainer Lindsey’s 15 Day Challenge. This will go great with her meal plans! Trying to kick a sugar/Diet Coke habit!

      Corn, always corn!! They are the best and go with everything! And they don’t leave you feeling full and bloated like the flour ones do.

      Look, I’m not saying homemade baked corn tortilla chips are the greatest of all time, but…… they’re definitely top ten.

        Agree. Fresh chips are amazing. Fresh anything out of the oven actually…
