The Stocking Stuffer Gazette: A plethora of sauces from San-J

An assortment of San-J's wonderful sauces will make almost any gluten-free person happy this season!

I often get asked, "What gluten-free pantry staple are you most likely to keep in your house." and I can honestly say that for the past five years, my house has not been without San-J gluten-free sauces.

But over the fall, San-J introduced some new products that are absolutely delicious.  Here's a summary of what's new, but I would like to suggest the Orange Sauce and the Teriyaki sauce.

The other day I made Teriyaki Rib Tips, which were very succulent. I cooked three pounds of rib tips in my iron skillet, covered, with 1/2 cup of water and San-J gf/wf Tamari.  Then, I opened the package and tossed the ribs with a cup of Teriyaki Sauce.  ThEN i broiled them for about 5 minutes til they resembled burnt ends.  A real favorite.

The kind folks at San-J have provided me with so many wonderful samples, but I have to say I have happily bought their products and will continue to do so.

So if you're looking for a gluten-free stocking stuffer or gift, these sauces would make a lot of gluten-free people very happy -- and very hungry.

Follow them on Facebook for coupons, recipes, and general fun!

Here are some great fall and winter recipes San-J sent me.  Stay tuned for the January update, where I'll post some great ideas for fresh New Year's Lunches!

Much love,
