Ben and Jerry's Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Sorbet Review

It’s really hard not to like Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. After all, with cute flavor names, a socially conscious philosophy, and commitment to making really delicious desserts, it’s no wonder they’re one of America’s favorite ice cream purveyors.  Recently, Ben and Jerry’s announced that they are working on dairy-free ice cream flavors made with coconut and/or almondmilk. Unfortunately, this review is not covering those yet-to-be released creations. Instead, this […]

Daiya Cheezecake Review

In the heat of summer, baking is simply not enjoyable. The oven heats up an already hot house, and I’m simply too tired to clean up the massive mess afterward. Luckily, a new product hitting store shelves is the perfect antedote to the high temps of summer: Daiya’s new line of cheezecakes (that’s right, with a “z”). These premium, indulgent desserts promise to bring back the luxury of cheesecake to […]

Vivoli Gelateria Review (Downtown Disney/Disney Springs)

When you think of Italy’s finest exports, most of them are not gluten or dairy-free: pasta, artisan cheeses, and other delicacies. Luckily, Orlando’s newest import- Vivoli Gerlateria- is different because it is an equal opportunity business, offering plenty of dairy-free and dairy-filled offerings to please one and all. What’s really neat about this gelati emporium is that it’s sister store is a beloved time-tested family-run gelato parlour in Florence, Italy. That’s right, there’s […]

So Delicious Cashew Milk Ice Cream Review

I’ve spent way too much money on sub par dairy-free ice cream in my years post-dairy. Despite the endless dead ends, I have continued on my quest to find ice cream that is rich, creamy, and perfect. Having tried rice, almond, and coconut based varieties without finding my Goldilocks product, I could not wait to give the new line of cashew milk ice creams from dairy-free dedicated So Delicious Dairy Free a try. These new […]

Philly Swirl Italian Ice Review and Giveaway

Summer is undoubtedly here to stay, and it is all I can do to beat the heat. As the Florida summer is gearing up in full force, I was thrilled to be asked to review a product that would be the perfect antidote to the heat: Philly Swirl’s new swirled Italian ice products. When they arrived on my doorstep, I couldn’t wait to break in to try the three styles of Italian ice, […]

Sweet Theory Baking Company Follow-Up Review

Note: I have visited Sweet Theory before (read review here). If you’re passing in or out of Central Florida by way of Jacksonville, Sweet Theory Baking Co. is without a doubt a must-do destination. This all around allergy friendly bakery serves up some of the most decadent, mouth-watering treats I’ve found in my quest to find the most incredible gluten-free bakeries in this country.  As I made my way from Maryland to […]

The Pop Parlour Review

If there’s anything I’ve learned as a Maryland resident, it’s that nothing compares to the sheer oppressiveness of the Florida heat. Coming back home for the summer, I’m slowly having to ease myself into the inferno-like heat of the day. Luckily, a good friend of mine suggested a reunion outing to a place where popsicles take center stage: The Pop Parlour.  Located in the heart of Downtown Orlando, the Pop […]

Baltimore 32nd St. Farmers Market Gluten-Free Finds

The wonderful thing about emerging from a difficult winter is that spring brings stunning renewal of nature, wonderful weather, and farmers’ markets. In search of a fun outing during my last weekend on campus, I decided to venture to the 32nd St. Farmer’s Market, which is near Baltimore’s Charles Village. Arriving shortly after the market opened for the day, I found the self-contained parking lot laden with vendors of all […]

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Favorite Products: April

Spring has sprung here in Maryland, bringing with it the mad dash to the finish of my freshman year. While I’m enjoying the beautiful weather, and upcoming transition back to Florida, I’m not a big fan of the stress, studying, and other not-so-joys of an foreboding finals week ahead. Luckily, the better weather has allowed to get out and about more, and peruse grocery stores both in my neck of the woods and in […]
