Frozen and canned veggies are gluten free as long as there is not any added spices or sauces. I never rinse my canned veggies. One could if you wanted. I have know someone (not gluten free) who always rinses her canned beans and I never do.

Diabetic?
There is a link between Diabetes and Celiac Disease. Eating gluten free has been proven to keep blood sugars lower.

Best Pie Crust Mix
Today I'm making pies. I've done a Apple and I froze the crust for a pecan. One thing to remember about gluten free bakery items: they do not have a lot of preservatives so they do not keep long (all the more reason to eat them up). They do last long in the freezer.
I use Gluten Free Pantry's Pie crust mix. It's the best I've found to date. You have to chill it to roll it out. You also have to roll it out between sheet of plastic wrap. You will not be able to pick it up otherwise.
The only time in my life I've gotten compliments on my pie crust are since I went gluten free. Gluten eater rave about how good it is. Well so do the gluten free people but we rave about anything we can eat. lol

The problem around here is findin Gluten-free products. Good to know bisquick can come in GF version.
If you always ask at your local stores if they have gluten free products they will start to carry them. It does take time. Ask the clerks, then ask the managers. Have your friends to ask too.
I thought some rinse canned veggies because of the high salt content. I thought some rinse canned beans to get rid of extra "gas".
My 2 cents.

Eggs, pancakes, quiche, Quinoa (hot cereal) omelets, cheese with lunch meat, fruit, leftover dinner. It does not have to be a traditional breakfast item.
You have to make your own from gluten free flour. I use my old gluten recipe for Swedish pancakes just using gluten free flour. For quiche I use a gluten free pie crust boxed mix from Gluten Free Pantry.
I'm going to be jumping into this thread when I have more time. Been limping up and down the stairs after all that wheat on Thanksgiving. Ow ow ow ow ow!!! Feels like a massive attack of arthritus in my knees, feet etc. See, I can eat wheat if I don't mind major joint pain and a set-up for diabetes (runs in family). So I blew it off for Thanksgiving and likely will for Christmas. But oh I pay for it! PLUS all my carb cravings came back fast (that would be the insulin part).
Breakfast: 3 scrambled eggs with a small sprinkle of quality cheddar on top. YUM!! (Without the cheese, it's boring and needs toast. Cheese makes it an event!)
I then do a Protein Shake later in the morning but you will have to search for one that is right for you and doesn't have any baddies in it. I use EAS and it doesn't seem to bother me but I haven't scrutinized the label. It's probably bad.

I do not cheat any more. Why punish myself. I just make the things I want gluten free. And then everyone else wants my stuff. lol
