Event Preview and Giveaway: Living Without's Gluten-Free Food Allergy Fest

When it comes to being gluten-free, there’s nothing that I love more than connecting others who share the unique experience of having dietary restrictions. While I have had opportunities here and there to meet up with and make friends with other gluten/dairy free folks and fellow bloggers, I have been waiting for an local opportunity to come along. Sure enough, my wish for a Central Florida based gluten-free event that aligned with […]

7 West Bistro Review (w/ Order Up Towson)

Immediately after placing my order, a woman from 7 West called me to let me know that my original order (chicken souvlakia with stewed green beans and roasted potatoes) would have to be modified because the stewed green beans are no longer 100% gluten-free. I’m glad this was caught before the order proceeded, but was disconcerted that they are presented as a gluten-free option. Hopefully this will be corrected in […]

Ejji Ramen Review (Belvedere Square)

Plunging head first into the semester, I have not had a moment to breathe, much less get off campus for fun in the first three weeks. As my workweek wound down leaving me with a wide-open and forcasted to be beautiful weekend, I knew that I’d have to remedy my cabin fever and escape for an hour or two. Fitting the bill for my Saturday adventure was Belvedere Square Market, […]

Simple Mills Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo Muffin Mix and Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix Review

In my journey into paleo-friendly baking, I’ve become comfortable with simple almond-flour based recipes with few ingredients. While these have been easy enough, my plunge into a super busy second semester had me dreaming of a paleo-friendly mix to streamline my frequent baking for breakfast and between-class snacks.  Enter Simple Mills, a company passionate about clean, healthy baking that also happens to be allergen-friendly and as tasty as they are […]

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Favorite Products: January

Zen Chocolate Pudding with Almondmilk While at Whole Foods in Dr. Phillips (Orlando- Sand Lake), I spotted the quintessential childhood treat: chocolate pudding cups. Normally off limits due to milk content, I was excited to find that these were made with my milk of choice: almondmilk. The pudding is rich, indulgent, and fully lived up to- and surpassed- my memory of what pudding should be. In perfectly portioned containers, the […]

Gluten-Free Dorm Cooking: Thai Green Curry

Already slacking off my New Year’s resolution on the blogging front- sharing more recipes- I’m finally able to get back on board with it after a much-deserved three day weekend after my first week back in school. This semester, disillusioned with dining hall fare after a long winter break filled with home-cooked meals, I knew that I’d have to expand my dorm cooking repertoire beyond pizza and baking. Cold weather had […]

One Dish Cuisine Breakfast Review

When it comes to allergen-free and gluten-free friendly dining in the Baltimore area, I cannot recommend One Dish Cuisine enough to locals and visitors alike.  Thanks to this cafe and and the hardworking staff who keep it running, dining out can once again be a truly stress-free experience where all thoughts of cross contamination are tossed aside because the premises is free from nine known allergens (more info in picture). Their mission […]

Immaculate Baking Company Cookie Mix Review

Since I’ve been on a baking kick this winter break, I have been sampling an array of recipes and mixes. A quick shopping trip to Target introduced me to the colorfully packaged baking mixes from Immaculate Baking Company. Finding the simple ingredient list and promise of no artificial preservatives or flavors irresistible, I grabbed a box each of their double chocolate and chocolate chip cookie mixes and put them aside for those times when […]

Flour & Spice Boutique Review

After finding and falling in love with a 100% dedicated gluten-free restaurant and bakery in the Melbourne (The Bald Strawberry), my dedicated gluten-free adventure was far from over when I realized that the bakery portion of the experience was a two-for-one deal. Sharing the same retail space as the Bald Strawberry’s Bakery, Flour and Spice Boutique is another dedicated gluten-free business that serves up plenty of sweets to satisfy any sweet tooth.  The woman behind […]
