April Baking Month: Elephant Bread Review

After breaking my trend of baking mix reviews with a bakery review, let’s continue the trend with a  review of Elephant Bread, which is a truly incredible company I discovered on my recent swing through Cincinnati over spring break. Founded by a local baker who had a firm belief that gluten-free bread can and should be delicious, this bread is truly homemade and crafted with care. One of the few […]

April Baking Month: Tina's Sweet Treats Bakery

Although Baking Month is focused mainly on baking mixes, here’s a quick change of pace to cover a gluten-free bakery I ran across in while doing the gluten-free grand tour of Cincinnati during my spring break. I knew I wanted to seek out a gluten-free bakery to secure birthday cupcakes. After all- how often do you get to enjoy safe gluten and dairy-free treats while traveling over your birthday! After looking […]

April Baking Month: Eatpastry Muffin and Biscuit Mix

When it comes to special diet baking, the more accommodating, the better in my book. Not only do I look for mixes that are gluten and dairy-free, but also seek out ones that are vegan, non-GMO, or multiple allergen-free so that I can share my treats with friends who have various dietary restrictions. I reviewed EatPastry’s chocolate cake mix last month, showcasing it despite the fact that the mix has been […]

April Baking Month: Slender Seven Cookie Dough Review

For chocolate lovers, the choco-fudge is definitely going to be up your alley. Black beans here are the base, and I was completely amazed once again how the worked incognito as a base without their bean-y flavor coming through. Cocoa powder here provides the wonderful chocolatey flavor, and mixed in chocolate chips. Of the two, this one was definitely the richer dough, as each spoonful was a decadent, indulgent bite. If […]

April Baking Month: Scratch and Grain Honey Cornbread Mix

As much as I love discovering new baking mixes out on the market, I really love when brands I already know and love expand their gluten-free offerings. Such is the case with Scratch and Grain Baking Company.  I previously have reviewed their gluten-free cookie mixes (link here) and really loved their novel approach to baking. With all the convenience of a prepackaged mix but the step-by-step methodology of from-scratch baking, […]

Sotto Review

On my final night in Cincinnati, I sought out a nice place for my family to enjoy dinner out all together before we parted ways. Because it was my birthday, I really wanted to find someplace special to dine. As I scoured restaurants in and around the city, I came across Sotto, which drew me in with accolades from Find Me Gluten-Free and local food critics alike.  Italian food typically […]

Mazunte Review

After a busy morning attending the Gluten-Free for Cincinnati Expo and visiting grocery wonderland Jungle Jim’s (see that recap here), my mom and I were hungry, but could not really articulate what we were hungry for. After all the carb and sugar-heavy fare at the expo l knew I wanted real food, so I turned to my Find Me Gluten-Free app to see what peaked my interest. From the list […]

Chubby Bunny Bakery Review

While at the Gluten-Free for Cincinnati Expo, one of the booths that really drew me in was Chubby Bunny Bakery, a gluten-free and vegan bakery that had an array of picture-perfect baked goods that tempted my taste buds. Founded out of the food allergy journey of “Baker Bunny” Allyson Moore, Chubby Bunny uses quality organic ingredients free from gluten, egg, dairy, nuts, and preservatives.  Proving that baked goods can be as good […]

Jungle Jim's International Market Overview

Whenever I have the chance to travel, my favorite form of tourism is exploring local grocery stores. While that might not sound too exciting, it’s amazing what you gluten-free finds you can uncover, which always leads me to bring home way too much food from wherever I travel. When I knew I would be headed to Cincinnati for spring break, I knew a stop to the Jungle Jim’s International Market […]
