Power pantry pick-of-the-week: today's post offers a terrific addition to your snacking choices. While carrot sticks and a nutty, dried fruit trail mix might be great, we've recently become fans of Van's. Van's International Foods, that is.We first found their multigrain crackers some months ago, and with them being not only gluten-free, but corn free, they were an instant hit around our house. And they taste great and have a crisp, light texture... perfect for the latest hummus or guac recipe.
Then I saw more of their stuff at the local super-store, shopping emporium: cereals, granola, snack bars...wow! The thing I love is their ingredient list, and that they have a basic grain mix which shows up in almost all of their offerings (here are the ingredients for their 'Lots of Everything' crackers):
Van's Gluten Free Whole Grain Blend (Oats, Brown Rice Flour, Millet, Quinoa And Amaranth), Potato Starch, non-GMO Expeller Pressed Sunflower And/Or Safflower Oil, Brown Sugar, Rice Flour, Sesame Seeds, Salt, Poppy Seeds, Dried Onion, Dried Garlic, Yeast Extract, Sunflower Lecithin, Caraway Seeds, Mixed Tocopherols For Freshness.Maybe you'd enjoy something from the Van's Foods family. Check them out online here:

By the Way
Van's doesn't have a huge product line, simply crackers, cereals, pastas, etc. Their tag line is "Simply Delicious" and their offering supports that profile. Check out their full product line here: http://www.vansfoods.com/our-products
