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 […]

Sweet Theory Baking Company Follow-Up Review

Note: I have visited Sweet Theory before (read review here). If you’re passing in or out of Central Florida by way of Jacksonville, Sweet Theory Baking Co. is without a doubt a must-do destination. This all around allergy friendly bakery serves up some of the most decadent, mouth-watering treats I’ve found in my quest to find the most incredible gluten-free bakeries in this country.  As I made my way from Maryland to […]

Wako Taco Review

This review covers Wako Taco the restaurant, not the food truck. For more information on the food truck click here. As Orlando’s foodie scene has grown, one of the most fun additions has been the explosion in the food truck population. In my limited exploration into gluten-free options in and around town, Wako Taco’s rolling taco operation impressed me with their delicious fare, friendly staff, and gluten-free awareness and accommodation.  […]

The Pop Parlour Review

If there’s anything I’ve learned as a Maryland resident, it’s that nothing compares to the sheer oppressiveness of the Florida heat. Coming back home for the summer, I’m slowly having to ease myself into the inferno-like heat of the day. Luckily, a good friend of mine suggested a reunion outing to a place where popsicles take center stage: The Pop Parlour.  Located in the heart of Downtown Orlando, the Pop […]

Chipotle Mexican Grill Review (Gluten/Dairy Free)

When it comes to chain restaurants, the big fast food joints are completely inaccessible for people with food allergies or celiac. However, an exception to this rule can be made for Chipotle Mexican Grill, who deftly proved that grab-n-go fare can and should be held to a higher standard.  Revolutionizing the concept of fast-food, Chipotle has enjoyed unprecedented growth and has managed to uphold their commitment to quality, fresh food at a […]

March Madness: Tampa Gluten-Free Food Allergy Fest Recap and Giveaway!

March Madness is a series of fun posts and giveaways I’m planning for March to celebrate my blog’s 1st birthday. Join the madness and stay tuned for more fun to come!  When it comes to gluten-free expos, I’ve enjoyed discovering this aspect of gluten-free living over the past year, and am lucky to be able to attend the few I find that come to my neck of the woods. When […]

Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant Review (Dinner)

After enjoying a wonderful brunch at Raglan Road, an authentic Irish pub and restaurant in Downtown Disney, I knew I wanted to go back for more and selected it as the spot for my birthday dinner. Besides, my birthday falls on the weekend before St. Patrick’s Day, and there’s no better place to party in Orlando on this day of Irish-mania. After a busy day at Living Without’s Gluten-Free Food Allergy […]

Erin McKenna's Bakery NYC Review (Downtown Disney/Disney Springs)

After the closing of the Downtown Disney location of Babycakes NYC last March, I was bummed to think that Orlando would lose the vegan, gluten-free bakery chain forever. As fate would have it, Babycakes stuck around and continued their partnership with Disney as they continued to make custom creations for guests and offered a slim variety of products throughout the resort. Last year, it was announced that they’d make a […]

Ethos Vegan Kitchen Review

Orlando is coming into its own as a growing foodie town. Increasingly us gluten-free eaters are finding more access at local restaurants, but vegans too are joining in on the fun.  When it comes to vegan food in Orlando, a good place to start is Ethos Vegan Kitchen in Winter Park. Featuring a 100% vegan menu that can accommodate soy and gluten-free diners, Ethos is a place to be for […]
