Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
When it comes to special diet baking, the more accommodating, the better in my book. Not only do I look for mixes that are gluten and dairy-free, but also seek out ones that are vegan, non-GMO, or multiple allergen-free so that I can share my treats with friends who have various dietary restrictions. I reviewed EatPastry’s chocolate cake mix last month, showcasing it despite the fact that the mix has been […]
Although my childhood was spent in the Midwest, I really grew up when my family moved to Florida late in my elementary school career. Despite moving to the part of the country where sweet tea is as readily available as water and it’s normal to pair fried chicken with waffles, I must admit I was never, and am still not really, a fan of Southern cuisine. Cornbread I am a-okay with […]
Although I love exploring the Baltimore area, this semester has been the busiest one yet, which has limited my opportunities to get out and about. Luckily, a foodie friend invited me to adventure around uptown Towson, which offered a nice array of shops and restaurants to explore. During our stroll, we stopped by La Cakerie and Cunningham’s Cafe and Bakery, two restaurants that I knew had gluten-free options, but had […]
This is the second part of a two-part review covering Our House baking mixes. To see part 1, click here. Back in September at the Natural Products Expo East, Our House baking mixes caught my eye because they were gluten-free, top allergen-free, and vegan. The company generously sent me a sampling of mixes to taste and try, and have been hard at work putting each to the test. This review […]
After a successful first half of my weekend in Washington D.C., I knew I wanted to kick off my second day and take advantage of the remaining hours I had left in the city before I had to return to Baltimore. Setting off early in the morning, I headed over to the National Mall and spent an amazing couple of hours roaming around the monuments from west to east. The […]
As October gracefully makes its final bow, it’s a bittersweet time, because fall is finally giving way to winter. While I absolutely love both seasons, I will miss the golden afternoons and extra hours of daylight that signify autumn in Maryland. This month, the four products that caught my eye definitely have a lot of variety, coming from brands both familiar and new to me. What all these products have […]
My relationship with non-dairy yogurt has been rocky at best over the past several years. When I first realized that dairy products were problematic for me, yogurt was an essential part of my diet. I transitioned to lactose-free yogurt, which continued to make me sick, and later tried a variety of dairy-free varieties which were- to be perfectly honest- absolutely disgusting. Luckily, the geniuses over at Kite Hill have endeavored to change […]
This review is part of my coverage of the Natural Products Expo East 2015. For a overview and to enter my swag bag giveaway, click here. If sweets are a sure bet at any gluten-free products expo, placing as runner up for the next most-represented category is the carbs: breads, cereals, pastas, and pizza. Years ago when I first went gluten-free, the breads, pizzas, and pastas I ate are practically pieces […]

If you have followed my blog over the last month, you’ve probably picked up on the fact that I have been trying out Enjoy Life Foods’ new gluten-free, vegan, allergen-free baking mixes. Last, but not least of the four baking mixes, is the muffin […]
Tis the season. Although September has not yet arrived, I’m so excited that this month’s round-up of products that caught my eye includes one of fall’s signature flavors: pumpkin. While I am not one to relegate pumpkin to a one-season indulgence, I am certainly glad to see the winds shifting towards my favorite season of the year. The theme that ties together this month’s four featured products is that they […]
