Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
When it comes to eating out on a special diet, Dandelion Communitea Cafe is an Orlando gem. Able to accommodate a variety of allergies to wheat, soy, egg, dairy, etc as well as vegetarians, vegans and “flexitarians” alike, I’m hard pressed to think of anyone who couldn’t get a meal here. What I love about this unique cafe is their totally unique setting and attitude and their emphasis on fresh, […]
After a fantastic Blogger U session at the Gluten-Free Living Conference (you can read my recap here), I couldn’t wait to come the following day to explore more of what the conference had to offer. The weekend kicked the conference into full gear with guest speakers, special events, and a vendor expo. I ended up spending the entire day Saturday at the expo. Although I had every intention to drop into […]
With Eating Out Without celebrating its one month birthday tomorrow, I knew that signing up for the Blogger U seminars at the Gluten-Free Living Conference would be a big leap for me. Although I would consider myself an established blogger (see my other blog here), I’m brand new to the whole foodie thing and how to self-promote and elevate my blog beyond simple posts. I would be sharing the same […]
I’ve been familiar with Larry’s Giant Subs long before gluten intolerance entered my life. Half of my extended family lives up in North Carolina, and no childhood road trip to the “tar heel state” was ever complete without a stop at the Larry’s Giant Subs in Brunswick, GA. As goofy as it sounds, our whole family eagerly awaited and relished every bite. Little did I know that the restaurant would […]
Birthdays are great opportunities to gather friends and family and celebrate with great food. I recently celebrated my own, and in doing so realized there’s plenty of perks out there for gluten and dairy free dining opportunities. In fact, there’s probably a thousand different opportunities for discounts on one’s birthday. I am going to share my favorites I’ve found.
DeLand Bakery, located 45 minutes north of the Orlando area, offers a full range of gluten free breads, buns, rolls, cookies, and more. However, this hasn’t always been the case. I first became aware of the bakery through That Deli, a Lake Mary deli that offers gluten free sub rolls from the company. While talking with the staff, they excitedly informed me about the bakery and their plans to build a gluten […]
As March is quickly coming to a close, I am eagerly looking ahead to next week’s Gluten-Free Living Conference at the Doubletree hotel by Universal Studios on April 4-6. This three day event will be jam-packed with seminars, food sampling, and opportunities to mix and mingle with experts, bloggers, and fellow gluten-free attendees. Registration for one or two day passes, as well as the exclusive Blogger U seminar is open […]
As I’ve said in other reviews, Winter Park is one my favorite sections of Orlando. Funky, familiar, and fresh, there’s never a dull day on Park Avenue or the many amazing small business that populate the area. Of course the main attraction in my book is Winter Park’s food scene. So many wonderful restaurants are located within city limits and provide a colorful kaleidoscope of options. To add a touch of “funk” in […]
Although a mere two years out of French classes in school, it would be fair to say that my ability to speak the language has all but evaporated as other classes and concerns have asserted themselves. However, my interest in all things French… specifically the food, has been revitalized thanks to little cookie that has a huge impact for those with gluten and dairy free diets.
Among the many types of cuisine that are off limits to gluten and dairy free diners, it’s almost unheard of to walk into a deli for simple comfort food like a deli sandwich, fresh-made soup or a salad. After all, cross-contamination runs rampant when salad bars and sandwich-prep stations are the main feature of a typical deli. As easy enough as it is to prepare a sandwich, soup or salad at home, it’s […]
