Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Although I am based in Orlando nowadays, I like to spotlight my gluten free finds when I travel out of the Central Florida area. Although they may seem out of the way at times, I believe the more that is written and shared about gluten free restaurants and travel, the more we all benefit. While most of my out-of-town posts are compilations of multiple reviews at once, Giorgio on Pine in […]
When it comes to eating out on a special diet, Dandelion Communitea Cafe is an Orlando gem. Able to accommodate a variety of allergies to wheat, soy, egg, dairy, etc as well as vegetarians, vegans and “flexitarians” alike, I’m hard pressed to think of anyone who couldn’t get a meal here. What I love about this unique cafe is their totally unique setting and attitude and their emphasis on fresh, […]
After a fantastic Blogger U session at the Gluten-Free Living Conference (you can read my recap here), I couldn’t wait to come the following day to explore more of what the conference had to offer. The weekend kicked the conference into full gear with guest speakers, special events, and a vendor expo. I ended up spending the entire day Saturday at the expo. Although I had every intention to drop into […]
With Eating Out Without celebrating its one month birthday tomorrow, I knew that signing up for the Blogger U seminars at the Gluten-Free Living Conference would be a big leap for me. Although I would consider myself an established blogger (see my other blog here), I’m brand new to the whole foodie thing and how to self-promote and elevate my blog beyond simple posts. I would be sharing the same […]
I’ve been familiar with Larry’s Giant Subs long before gluten intolerance entered my life. Half of my extended family lives up in North Carolina, and no childhood road trip to the “tar heel state” was ever complete without a stop at the Larry’s Giant Subs in Brunswick, GA. As goofy as it sounds, our whole family eagerly awaited and relished every bite. Little did I know that the restaurant would […]
Birthdays are great opportunities to gather friends and family and celebrate with great food. I recently celebrated my own, and in doing so realized there’s plenty of perks out there for gluten and dairy free dining opportunities. In fact, there’s probably a thousand different opportunities for discounts on one’s birthday. I am going to share my favorites I’ve found.
DeLand Bakery, located 45 minutes north of the Orlando area, offers a full range of gluten free breads, buns, rolls, cookies, and more. However, this hasn’t always been the case. I first became aware of the bakery through That Deli, a Lake Mary deli that offers gluten free sub rolls from the company. While talking with the staff, they excitedly informed me about the bakery and their plans to build a gluten […]
Although I’m mainly Orlando-based, every so often, I get to travel around. Being a high school senior who has a complex medical condition, most of my recent travel has surrounded college visits or medical appointments out of town. Such is the case that brought me to Atlanta recently. This visit was of medical nature, which involved appointments and procedures- not fun. However, what softens the deal for me is finding […]
As March is quickly coming to a close, I am eagerly looking ahead to next week’s Gluten-Free Living Conference at the Doubletree hotel by Universal Studios on April 4-6. This three day event will be jam-packed with seminars, food sampling, and opportunities to mix and mingle with experts, bloggers, and fellow gluten-free attendees. Registration for one or two day passes, as well as the exclusive Blogger U seminar is open […]
As I’ve said in other reviews, Winter Park is one my favorite sections of Orlando. Funky, familiar, and fresh, there’s never a dull day on Park Avenue or the many amazing small business that populate the area. Of course the main attraction in my book is Winter Park’s food scene. So many wonderful restaurants are located within city limits and provide a colorful kaleidoscope of options. To add a touch of “funk” in […]
