Enjoy Life Foods Baking Mix Review Preview

Of all of the “big” companies out there that make gluten-free food, Enjoy Life Foods ranks high as one of my favorites. I love that their commitment to the food allergy/restriction community spans eight dimensions, as all of their products are free from the top eight allergens and made in a facility dedicated to allergen-free production.  I know I am not the only one who jumped for joy when Enjoy Life Foods […]

Two Foodies Gluten-Free Kitchen Pizza Crust Mix

This review has been a long time coming. I first discovered Two Foodies Gluten-Free Kitchen back in March at the Gluten and Allergen Free Wellness Event in Charlotte, NC. At first bite, I knew I would be coming home with a box of pizza crust mix that would be put to the test in my own kitchen. What is really cool about Two Foodies, is that Jen and Chris, the […]

Tabla: Indian, Chinese, Thai Review

Since starting my blog, I’ve had encounters with many different dialects of ethnic food; Turkish, Tibetan, and Salvadorian are all cuisines I’ve acquainted myself with. While I have eaten cuisines from around the globe, I have never made it out to an Indian restaurant.  Although I have dabbled in Indian flavors at Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge’s Sanaa, I really wanted to go to an more traditional Indian restaurant to get an […]

Gluten-Free Guest Chef Bob Aungst at The Bistro on Park Avenue Review

Because of my dairy-free constraint, my courses came out in a different order than the menu shows. Because the risotto cakes were not dairy-free, Chef Bob brought out my salad course first to allow for a custom dairy-free risotto to be freshly cooked once I got there. Those who read my blog know that I’m usually not a big salad fan, but I must give Chef Bob full credit for crafting […]

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Favorite Products: June

June has been a quiet, but busy month for me. Immersed in my internship, I’m finding that my work schedule leaves me with little time and energy to cook whole meals when I get home.  Luckily all four of my favorite finds of June are the perfect solution for dinnertime dilemmas because they’re easy to make and taste great without dirtying up the kitchen.  While great on their own, these products also are […]

Carrabba's Italian Grill Review

If the soup is uninspired, my entree would be described as the polar opposite. I went with the wood grilled salmon with a side of Italian green beans. The salmon, made without the grill baste, came topped with a tomato basil vinaigrette that was downright tantalizing. Made with flavorful tomato, aromatic basil, and deliciously distinctive balsamic vinegar. The fish itself was cooked perfectly, easily sliced by a fork. The green beans, cooked with olive oil, featured […]

Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread Review and Giveaway

Canyon Bakehouse is one of those companies that just gets “gluten-free” right and does it in spectacular fashion.  Dedicated bakehouse? Check.  Dairy-free products? Double check. Bread that authentically tastes and feels “real”? Check, check, and check again. While I’ve been able to sample the rosemary and thyme focaccia and both varieties of bagels before, I have not explored their back catalog of breads in all shapes and sizes. I jumped at the opportunity […]

Specialty Pizza Review

There are times when I am game for constructing a pizza masterpiece from scratch, and there are times when I am not. After a long workweek left me exhausted and uninspired, I could think of no better way to spend Tonys Sunday than settling in for the Broadway’s best night with a delivery pizza on hand to maximize the fun and minimize the mess. Living north of Orlando, most of […]

Gluten-free Friendly Restaurants at Universal Orlando CityWalk

CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort is a hot spot for tourists and locals alike. The restaurants are aplenty and the people watching is hard to beat. My goal this summer is to explore more of them, as I am a Universal Orlando passholder, but in the mean time, I’ve assembled a guide to gluten-free eats in this entertainment mecca.  With the exception of a few restaurants that I’ve actually eaten […]

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Favorite Products: May

Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Chicken Nuggets As a college student, I’ve reverted back to the quick and easy meals I enjoyed as a kid. One such quick and easy staple I’ve grown to love is chicken nuggets. Although I’ve tried several brands, Trader Joe’s chicken nuggets came out of left field and surprised me with their amazing taste, texture, and budget-friendly-ness. They’re sure to please kids of all ages in your […]
