Nona Lim Soup Cups Review

Soup is always a good go-to for lunch or dinner, because it’s endlessly versatile and satisfying. When I typically pack soup-to-go, it involves packing soup in one container and bringing along a glass container to warm it up in the microwave. While that’s a solution that works- it’s annoying to have to pack so many accessories just to heat a bowl of soup. The culinary engineers over at Nona Lim […]

Larabar Bites Review

Larabar is a company that has made its name in making energy bars that provide a nutritional boost while also featuring more indulgent flavors. Before their new energy bar bites caught my eye at Target, I assumed their products were not safe, but was floored when I found out that they are all gluten-free. These new energy ball bites combine the functionality of the bars with the presentation of a truffle for a snack […]

Cat Cora's Kitchen Review (Atlanta Airport)

As Airports go, Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport is a behemoth with several terminals and a nonstop flow of people coming and going. On my latest pass through Atlanta, I had a little extra time on my hands, which meant I could explore the foodie options around. At Hartsfield-Jackson, you’ve got the typical lineup of fast food joints and convince stores, but I was looking for something a little more substantial, because I had not had […]

Canyon Bakehouse Heritage Style Gluten-Free Bread Review

Canyon Bakehouse has already won me (see that post here) over as one of the best gluten-free breads on the market, but if there’s one overarching downside to gluten-free bread, it’s that it’s tiny. No self-respecting lunch packer wants to pack a teeny tiny sandwich that can be eaten in a few bites when gluten-eaters can enjoy full-size sandwiches that are so large they have to be cut in half.  Enter […]

Path-of-Life Product Review (Giveaway)

As a gluten-free college student, I am running from classes, to work, to my internship with little time left in the day for actually preparing a full meal three times a day. Although I prefer home cooked meals, the reality is that I rely on the convenience of microwave food most nights to save precious time for studying. Microwave food gets a bad rap for being unhealthy and bland, but at […]

Cava Mezze Grill Review

Before heading back to campus to start the spring semester, my mom and I took advantage of my final weekend of winter break to stay in Tysons Corner, VA and explore around Washington D.C.  Tysons Corner is retail-dense suburb that’s roughly half an hour away from D.C., and is home to several gluten-free friendly restaurants- both chain and independent. With so many options, it’s a great place to stay when visiting […]

White Envelope Arepa Bar Review

After a month away on winter break from school, I am excited to be back in Baltimore and tuned in to the latest and greatest on the gluten-free food beat in Charm City.  After landing at BWI, I had my sights set on R. House, a new food concept launch pad in the Remington neighborhood of the city. Part concept incubator, part urban market, this old warehouse space brings together […]

Create Your Nature Review

My final dispatch from Florida during my winter break from college comes from Winter Park, where I investigated Create Your Nature, a build-your-own smoothie and salad restaurant. With tons of naturally gluten-free and dairy-free options and a menu featuring nothing but healthy choice, it’s a win/win restaurant concept. Orlando’s restaurant scene is still in the development stage, and it’s nice to see quick-serve restaurants like this start to enter the scene […]

San Clemente Cookie Dough Co. Review

If I have discovered anything in this world as a foodie with food restrictions, it’s that gluten-free, vegan cookie dough is the stuff dreams are made of. Whether you are craving oven-hot cookies or an indulgent snack of raw (but safe) cookie dough, there’s really no losing when it comes to gluten-free, vegan dough. I’ve heard buzz surrounding San Clemente Cookie Dough Co.’s vegan, gluten-free cookie dough, as they’ve worked for […]
