Although Christmas is now behind us, there’s no denying the fact that this time of year is marked by the proliferation of cookies of all shapes and sizes. Normally one who does not seek out sweets, I have indulged myself over the past few weeks in Christmas cookies as a stress reliever for finals week and celebration that I made it through my first semester in college no worse for […]
Though I have sampled bakeries here there and everywhere I go, I have a soft spot in heart for Raphsodic Bakery as my go-to Central Florida bakery. Specializing in vegan and gluten-free fare, visiting the bakery is one of the first things I do when I return back to Florida and has introduced me to baked goods I’d never thought I’d taste, much less enjoy, again. I posted about Raphsodic […]
Coming off of a finals week buoyed by Thai food and pho, my taste for Asian cuisine was not extinguished upon returning home. After the wave of energy and emotion that is Christmas crashed after a whirlwind day, my mom and wanted to get out of the house on Boxing Day but were not ready to battle the madness of big shopping centers or the more tourist-y areas of town. After […]
9. Phillips Seafood When in Maryland, there are two local tastes that cannot be avoided- Old Bay seasoning and crab. While not a big seafood person, my first night as a Marylander called for a celebratory dinner at one of the Inner Harbor’s flagship restaurants- Phillips Seafood. I was treated to a true Chesapeake Bay feast starring gluten and dairy free crab cakes. This is definitely a good stop to […]
Though various posts on this blog, I have well established my love for Sweet Note Bakery’s authentic NYC-style bagels. Hailing from Pennsylvania, I found them first at the Schmear It food truck while exploring Philly this spring and hunted them out again here in Maryland at Towson Hot Bagels and On the Hill Cafe. Though I am a fan of their plain and everything varieties, I knew I’d have to […]
The best part about my experience was that it fired on all cylinders: Two Boots brought great food, a great vibe, and great service. While relishing the last slice of my pizza, I daydreamed about my next visit, and regretfully realized I probably will not be back until next year when my second semester commences. I look forward to my return visit, and many more to come next year. With locations around the country, […]
With multiple locations in and around the Baltimore area, Seasons Pizza is a regional chain that has made an effort to welcome gluten-free customers back to the table to enjoy pizza once again. Wanting to make the most of my final week in Maryland, I decided to trek over to Seasons Pizza in Towson to check it out before heading home. While normally I would have stayed in my dorm […]
Whether its the cold weather, holiday spirit, or single digit day countdown to winter break, it’s getting downright difficult to face the monotony of the dining hall. Don’t get me wrong- my college has been pretty accommodating, but after my Thanksgiving break allowed me to rediscover the deliciousness of home cooking, it’s hard to face the less-than-homemade quality of buffet lines. Taking advantage of a lighter day due to a […]
In my final two weeks of classes and finals, I didn’t really have the time or heart to make a grocery store run. After all, I’ll have to clear out my refrigerator and freezer before I go. Not one to go without a supply of bread however, I decided to treat myself to an early Christmas present and order from a gluten-free bakery I’ve had my eyes on for awhile. Mariposa Bakery […]
The Fresh Market Soups Although my campus dining halls and quick service locations have gluten and dairy free options, there are some days I simply do not want to venture out due to inclement weather or when I’m feeling sick or exhausted. For these occasions, I try to keep some kind of soup always on hand for a quick, easy meal. Fresh Market’s soups are my go-to as they easily make for […]
