Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Ever since Raphsodic Bakery closed, Orlando has been lacking a local (non-chain) bakery. I’m always on the hunt for gluten and dairy-free fare, so when I began to hear buzz about Sweet Utopian, a gluten-free and vegan nut “mylk” purveyor and bakery, I knew I had to check them out. Sweet Utopian was founded with a simple mission- producing quality goods with real ingredients. In the words of A.B., the owner, […]
Although Baltimore is technically my home, I’ve spent far more time in Washington D.C. this year exploring the foodie scene. From food trucks to sit down restaurants, I’ve visited restaurants that have run the gamut in cuisine. Narrowing down my top ten favorite restaurants of 2016 was quite the challenge, so I want to clarify the criteria used for the ten that have earned a spot on my annual round-up of […]
Back in Orlando for only a few weeks, I came home with a lengthy list of places I wanted to check out for gluten-free eats. After enjoying lunch at Disney Springs, I suggested a stop at The Tasty Trend Bakery for dessert, a gluten-free bakery in Winter Garden that has allergen-friendly options on hand. In a town overrun by chain bakeries where gluten-free is often an afterthought, The Tasty Trend focuses on those […]
At the eleventh hour, my Thanksgiving travel plans changed because I felt like I was beginning to succumb to oncoming sickness. Instead of flying to North Carolina for the holiday, my mom and I jumped in the car and drove from Baltimore down to avoid the hassle of fighting the stress of flying. We stayed overnight in Virginia, and when looking for breakfast the next day, I zeroed in on Heritage […]
I don’t know about you, but I find it hard to avoid longingly looking through the bakery section of grocery stores mourning the loss of being able to eat the breads and sweets that are laden with gluten and dairy. Although I try not to do it too often, a recent trip to the store made this tempting habit really pay off. While at my local Fresh Market, I was […]
As both a Farmer’s Market and gluten-free baked goods enthusiast, I was floored when I stumbled into the DuPont Circle Farmers’ Market in D.C.- and right into O Earth Creamery and Bakehouse’s (OECB) booth. Used to gluten-full bakeries offering the occasional gluten-free treat, I was amazed when I found out that OECB is a 100% gluten-free bakery. Despite proliferation of attention-drawing cupcake factories in the District, there is certainly a lack of […]
As much as I eat out, dedicated gluten-free bakeries are relatively rare discoveries, as there are not an abundance in the Baltimore-D.C. area. While staying in Tysons Corner, VA for my recent D.C. trip, I was excited to see that I was in close proximity to Falls Church location of The Happy Tart, a dedicated gluten-free patisserie that I first found out about through a rave review from Alexis at […]
I’ll start right off the bat and say this review is almost two years overdue. How could I not have visited Washington D.C.’s only dedicated gluten-free bakery before now? Quite honestly I’m still asking myself this question. Rise Bakery opened in November 2014 and has quickly made their name as the go-to gluten-free bakery in the region. While 100% free from gluten, this bakery stocks the delicacies not often seen even […]
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 […]
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 […]
