La Brea Bakery Gluten-Free Sandwich Bread Review

As a gluten-free eater, I am always in search of better sandwich breads, because gluten-free breads in general tend to have a lot to improve on. Whether it’s a tiny size, crumbly consistency, or holes that take up a good part of the slice, gluten-free bread has gotten a bad rap for being subpar in every aspect to gluten-full breads.  When La Brea Bakery reached out to me with an offer to […]

Amano Taco Review (R. House Baltimore)

R. House in Baltimore’s Remington neighborhood is quickly becoming my favorite place in the city. There’s so many gluten-free options and the vibe is absolutely perfect and foodie-centric.  Especially on weekends, it’s nice to be around the hustle and bustle of the diverse crowd and take advantage of dining al fresco.  Although I have visited R. House a couple of times, I have totally walked by Amano Taco without realizing that it’s […]

Stall 11 Brunch Review (R. House Baltimore)

Baltimore is a nice playground for gluten-free foodies, with plenty of great options around town. One of my favorite new foodie hot spots in the city is R. House, which is home to ten up and coming food concepts from local chefs. I have been once before, but have been woefully negligent in my food blogger duties by not return to seek out more gluten-free options at the food hall. […]

Oberlander Bakery Gluten-Free Black & White Cookies

I’ve discovered that Passover ushers in a gluten-free treasure hunt at local grocery stores as gluten-free versions of Kosher foods are stocked for the holiday.  In a recent post-Passover run I saw a new-to-me brand that made a product I have never seen gluten and dairy-free: black and white cookies! I’ve seen gluten-free verisions of the striking cookies before but never a dairy-free version so I bought two boxes on […]

Chopt Creative Salad Company Review

One of my favorite restaurant trends in recent years has been the abundance of fast-casual lunch places that offer affordable, healthy food that can be customized to dietary restrictions and preferences. The latest of these type of restaurants on my radar is Chopt, a salad-focused eatery that promises “farm-to-fast food” eats that are anything but boring.  Chopt utilizes farm-fresh ingredients that are locally sourced, which means that their food packs a nutritional punch. […]

Carmine's Review

Because I had a large salad for lunch, I decided I was only ordering a pasta because I didn’t want to carry a whole other meal on the train back to Baltimore with me if I had ordered a side dish as well. Although Carmine’s serves family-style, I was dining solo, so I ordered a “lunch” portion of my pasta of choice, which could have easily served 2 people. The full-size […]

Carmine's Allergy Menus (Gluten-Free, Dairy/Egg-Free, Garlic-Free, Vegan, Vegetarian)

Image Source When it comes to family-style Italian dining, Carmine’s has certainly made a name for itself as a foodie destination. With locations in New York City, DC, Atlantic City, and Las Vegas, the chain is located at tourist hot spots around the country. What’s great about Carmine’s is that they have something for everyone- including people with restricted diets and food allergies. Everyone can find something to eat, and the whole party can partake […]

The Greater Knead Bagel Chips Review

Anyone who has followed me for awhile has probably picked up on the fact that I am a super fan of The Greater Knead (formerly Sweet Note Bagels). Their gluten and allergen-free bagels and infectious entrepreneurial spirit makes it easy to cheer this passionate company on.  I have written reviews before of their bagels (standard flavors, online-exclusive), but knew that their newest product would make even greater waves in the gluten-free […]

Lilly's Bake Shoppe Review (Part 2)

Last year, I wrote my first review of Lilly’s Bake Shoppe’s gluten-free Kosher baked goods that appear on the shelves of my local Wegmans every Passover (read that review here). From full-size cakes to macaroons, cashew brittle to chocolate rolls, the variety of sweets offered ensures that everyone can select something to love from the seasonal display.  This year, I decided to sample more of Lilly’s options since I only sampled to products […]

Outback Steakhouse Review

Of the big chain restaurants out there, Outback Steakhouse has earned a rap as a reliable place to find gluten-free eats. Serving up gluten-free eats for over a decade now, the restaurant has partnered with registered dietitians to curate a menu of safe eats. Offering everything from steak to seafood, loaded potatoes to a loaded brownie sundae, their gluten-free menu is certainly versatile. With locations around the country, they’re a great place […]
