Enjoy Life Foods Baking Mix Review Preview

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 […]

iPho Noodle House Review

Those who have followed my blog and/or instagram for a while might have picked up on the fact that I am a huge fan of pho, the Vietnamese noodle soup that is my go-to comfort food come winter weather or rainy day. Orlando has a unique neighborhood called Little Vietnam where pho restaurants abound, but for my recent pho excursion, I decided to head north of town to Lake Mary […]

Garden Tonic Natural Tea Recipe

Since returning home to Orlando for the summer, one definite change I have noticed since moving away last year is that I am a whole lot more intolerant to the heat and humidity than I was before. In addition to my food intolerances, I also have several autoimmune conditions, which have flared up a lot more this summer thanks to Orlando’s unique brand of inferno-like heat. Luckily, one way I can combat […]

Two Foodies Gluten-Free Kitchen Pizza Crust Mix

This review has been a long time coming. I first discovered Two Foodies Gluten-Free Kitchen back in March at the Gluten and Allergen Free Wellness Event in Charlotte, NC. At first bite, I knew I would be coming home with a box of pizza crust mix that would be put to the test in my own kitchen. What is really cool about Two Foodies, is that Jen and Chris, the […]

Tabla: Indian, Chinese, Thai Review

Since starting my blog, I’ve had encounters with many different dialects of ethnic food; Turkish, Tibetan, and Salvadorian are all cuisines I’ve acquainted myself with. While I have eaten cuisines from around the globe, I have never made it out to an Indian restaurant.  Although I have dabbled in Indian flavors at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Sanaa, I really wanted to go to an more traditional Indian restaurant to get an […]

Nutty Crunch Review (Paleo/Grain-Free)

Right off the bat, I will admit that I am not the biggest fan of granola. My breakfast usually consists of cereal, bagels, or simply fruit and nut butter. However, a recent trip to the Lake Eola Farmer’s Market changed my mind, as I discovered a vendor I had not seen before: Nutty Crunch.  Offering gluten-free, grain-free, paleo granola, I was drawn in by the prospect of a healthy paleo […]

Ben and Jerry's Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Sorbet Review

It’s really hard not to like Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. After all, with cute flavor names, a socially conscious philosophy, and commitment to making really delicious desserts, it’s no wonder they’re one of America’s favorite ice cream purveyors.  Recently, Ben and Jerry’s announced that they are working on dairy-free ice cream flavors made with coconut and/or almondmilk. Unfortunately, this review is not covering those yet-to-be released creations. Instead, this […]

Gluten-Free Guest Chef Bob Aungst at The Bistro on Park Avenue Review

Because of my dairy-free constraint, my courses came out in a different order than the menu shows. Because the risotto cakes were not dairy-free, Chef Bob brought out my salad course first to allow for a custom dairy-free risotto to be freshly cooked once I got there. Those who read my blog know that I’m usually not a big salad fan, but I must give Chef Bob full credit for crafting […]

Scratch and Grain Gluten-Free Cookie Mix Review

Anyone who’s followed my blog for awhile knows that I love to bake, but not necessarily baking from scratch. Being gluten and dairy-free, I find homemade recipes either to costly to curate lengthy ingredient lists, or too complicated for my liking. Luckily, I’ve found just the product to meet my Goldilocks-like gluten-free baking needs. Enter Scratch and Grain Baking Company, an innovative company that merges the magic of baking from scratch with the convenience of […]

Aramouni's by Nature's Healthy Gourmet Review

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 […]
