Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Recently, my reviews have been geared more to the product side, as my restaurant visits have been few and far between as school has started up.

I was excited to find Beetnik Foods’ line of frozen entrees while perusing my local […]
Although I’m new to the fan club, my love affair with Indian food has inspired me to start incorporating more of the cuisine’s signature spiciness into my diet.

Gluten-free bakeries are an oasis for us gluten-free folks where we can once again revel in window shopping fresh baked goods that are actually safe to eat. Here in Baltimore, I have been spoiled by several excellent local bakeries, but was really excited to welcome Harmony Bakery as the area’s newest bakery. While not new to me, as I have been a patron of Harmony Bakery at the Saturday morning […]
Because a sandwich was no longer an option, I opted for a bowl of the vegan gazpacho, minus croutons on top. The soup was a delicious blend of veggies, in a tomato-based broth. I loved how the chopped vegetables, including cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers, were fresh and bursting with flavor. The soup was seasoned with garlic and black pepper, which shone through with every spoonful. Although it was my backup […]
Tis the season. Although September has not yet arrived, I’m so excited that this month’s round-up of products that caught my eye includes one of fall’s signature flavors: pumpkin.
