Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Of all of the “big” companies out there that make gluten-free food, Enjoy Life Foods ranks high as one of my favorites. I love that their commitment to the food allergy/restriction community spans eight dimensions, as all of their products are free from the top eight allergens and made in a facility dedicated to allergen-free production. I know I am not the only one who jumped for joy when Enjoy Life Foods […]
Recently, I’ve fallen head over heels for falafels in a big way. First tasting this Middle Eastern delicacy in Annapolis this Spring, I’ve since become a huge fan of this naturally gluten-free dish. While checking out the Winter Park Whole Foods Market, I stopped by the prepared foods case and found a goldmine of gluten and dairy-free friendly foods from Aramouni’s by Nature’s Healthy Gourmet. This Port St. Lucie company […]
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 […]
June has been a quiet, but busy month for me. Immersed in my internship, I’m finding that my work schedule leaves me with little time and energy to cook whole meals when I get home. Luckily all four of my favorite finds of June are the perfect solution for dinnertime dilemmas because they’re easy to make and taste great without dirtying up the kitchen. While great on their own, these products also are […]
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 […]
Ever since discovering the magic of falafels while exploring Annapolis this spring, I’ve been wanting to get another taste of the Middle Eastern delicacy. Luckily, I stumbled across Hubbly Bubbly, a College Park installation while going out for lunch with a friend recently, and the location proved to be the perfect meet-up point. What’s so cool about Hubbly Bubbly, is that this little restaurant serves up seriously good food that […]
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 […]
Cream cheese is just one of those things you think you lose forever when going dairy-free. After all, most dairy-free cheeses fail to capture the “creamy” quality that makes cream cheese such a luxury. Believing I was doomed to eat topping-less bagels for all eternity, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted almond milk cream cheese at my local Whole Foods Market. With the highest of hopes, I invested […]
When it comes to chain restaurants, the big fast food joints are completely inaccessible for people with food allergies or celiac. However, an exception to this rule can be made for Chipotle Mexican Grill, who deftly proved that grab-n-go fare can and should be held to a higher standard. Revolutionizing the concept of fast-food, Chipotle has enjoyed unprecedented growth and has managed to uphold their commitment to quality, fresh food at a […]
Please note that Good Life Smoothie Bar has now closed. While in Annapolis, in between duel visits to Amsterdam Falafelshop, the summer-like heat of the day lead me to crave something cold and sweet. Knowing the risk of cross contamination of both gluten and dairy at several chain smoothie and coffee shops, I decided to indulge in a freshly made smoothie at Good Life Smoothie Bar, a neighbor to the falafel […]
