Colgin's Liquid Smoke

I was looking for liquid smoke, as I found a couple of BBQ recipes that called for it.

I found this company, they're Kosher, GF, have no MSG and no animal byproducts.

That's great but what about the cancer concerns? We celiacs do have lowered ammune systems and have to be careful.

I found this article http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20070314/news_lz1f14focus.html and funny enough at the end of it there is something on Celiacs and oats!

Anyway, I don't eat hot dogs or other meats like that because of this ( not to mention the msg found in many), but I do love a smoky flavor and have found a great alternative.

Smoked Paprika! it can be used on anything and lends a wonderful taste to eggs, soups, salads, mac and cheese, really anything ( haven't tried ice cream ) practically! give it a try. The Spice house carries some awesome spices and this is one of them. I don't use Liquid smoke anymore since finding this.

I am careful about those chemicals too. I don't know if it's because I've been diagnosed and have been GF for a while and have stopped eating those but I find myself very sensitive to them and haven't eaten any preserved meats.

Well, I would always hope that with things like teriyaki sauce, liquid smoke, soy sauce, and other sauces/preservatives, nitrates and other things --- one would use once in a while and sparingly.

Not everyone can handle everything either -- so it is always best to use one's discretion.

I can't get that here, so if I want something smoked or grilled - I have to do it myself.

I did however find some lunchmeats out here that we can have. The only problem is with it -- no certification. However, it is gf, and has no pork products, msg or other questionable items.

you win some, you lose some out here
