Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
While I have discovered and enjoyed many gluten and dairy-free bakeries, baking mixes, and other sweets in my career as a food intolerant blogger, I have yet enjoy the luxurious experience of going to a gourmet chocolate shop and being able to select custom crafted creations that are safe for me to eat. Luckily, this review breaks the gourmet chocolate drought for me, because Pure Chocolate by Jinji is the […]
Gluten-free bakeries are an oasis for us gluten-free folks where we can once again revel in window shopping fresh baked goods that are actually safe to eat. Here in Baltimore, I have been spoiled by several excellent local bakeries, but was really excited to welcome Harmony Bakery as the area’s newest bakery. While not new to me, as I have been a patron of Harmony Bakery at the Saturday morning […]
Because a sandwich was no longer an option, I opted for a bowl of the vegan gazpacho, minus croutons on top. The soup was a delicious blend of veggies, in a tomato-based broth. I loved how the chopped vegetables, including cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers, were fresh and bursting with flavor. The soup was seasoned with garlic and black pepper, which shone through with every spoonful. Although it was my backup […]
For my first foodie excursion back in Baltimore, I had to carefully choose which of the many restaurants on my to-eat list I would indulge in. Winning that honor was Tortilleria Sinaloa, on the premise of fresh-made homemade tortillas and a 100% gluten-free menu. After a day of unpacking and putting together my dorm room 2.0 configuration (I am in the same dorm and room this year), I knew that a late […]
Despite the abundance of gluten-free breads out there from large companies, I love the feeling of discovery when I find a locally made bread from a small company. These small bakeries are often supported by other small businesses, which creates an awesome chain of supporting the community by the simple act of buying a loaf of bread. One such small business ripple effect starts here in Baltimore with Eddie’s Market. […]
With the exception of a super busy spring break, my foodie scouting has been cut short this semester due to winter weather, fighting sickness, and working my way though not the easiest of courseloads. Needing a true “Sunday funday” before the final push to the end of the semester, I took advantage of a a absolutely beautiful Sunday to momentarily flee my scholarly duties and get a bit of foodie […]
Back in my beloved Baltimore for the remainder of the spring semester, returning from spring break was a rude awakening. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t parting though my week-long break, but the abundance of awesome food and indulgence in Netflix I enjoyed all through the break came to a sudden end as I shifted back into school mode, and began to prepare for papers, midterms, and the daily challenges of being […]
Us gluten-free folks have all too often become accustomed to super expensive, sub-par pizza options when dining out. Usually these cardboard-like imitations of the pizza pies we once enjoyed without worry are watery, gummy, undercooked, and/or too flimsy to support toppings of any substance. Throw in a dairy intolerance, and your options are even more limited as pesto, cheeses, and other pizza toppings are dangerous landmines of potential cross contamination. Always on the lookout […]
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, […]
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 […]
