Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
As a college kid ever on the go, I’m all about grab and go snacks. Between classes, an on-campus job, homework, and other activities, I am always looking for delicious, nutritious ways to refuel that last all day and do not need extra attention such as refrigeration. Luckily, the nut butter experts over at Justin’s have innovated a new product that has hit Target shelves nationwide just in time for the back-to-school rush. […]
As a nut-butter enthusiast and socially conscious millennial, I’m pretty sure that I am squarely in the demographic for Yumbutter. Founded with the belief that nourishing, delicious food can and should be a vehicle to promote good, Yumbutter has been a company I’ve had my eye on for a while, but have not been able to find it in stores near me. Luckily, Target is bringing Yumbutter to the masses (see a […]
Right off the bat, I will admit that I am not the biggest fan of granola. My breakfast usually consists of cereal, bagels, or simply fruit and nut butter. However, a recent trip to the Lake Eola Farmer’s Market changed my mind, as I discovered a vendor I had not seen before: Nutty Crunch. Offering gluten-free, grain-free, paleo granola, I was drawn in by the prospect of a healthy paleo […]
It’s really hard not to like Ben and Jerry’s ice cream. After all, with cute flavor names, a socially conscious philosophy, and commitment to making really delicious desserts, it’s no wonder they’re one of America’s favorite ice cream purveyors. Recently, Ben and Jerry’s announced that they are working on dairy-free ice cream flavors made with coconut and/or almondmilk. Unfortunately, this review is not covering those yet-to-be released creations. Instead, this […]
Although I normally bypass packaged cookies in favor of do-it-yourself mixes and homemade cookies, I could not help but jump for joy when I heard the Glutino’s latest gluten-free offering is one of my favorite childhood delicacies: animal crackers. Once these kid-friendly cookies were announced, I knew the hunt was on to locate them and many weeks of patient searching paid off and I soon came home with a pack […]
Summer is undoubtedly here to stay, and it is all I can do to beat the heat. As the Florida summer is gearing up in full force, I was thrilled to be asked to review a product that would be the perfect antidote to the heat: Philly Swirl’s new swirled Italian ice products. When they arrived on my doorstep, I couldn’t wait to break in to try the three styles of Italian ice, […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
The wonderful thing about emerging from a difficult winter is that spring brings stunning renewal of nature, wonderful weather, and farmers’ markets. In search of a fun outing during my last weekend on campus, I decided to venture to the 32nd St. Farmer’s Market, which is near Baltimore’s Charles Village. Arriving shortly after the market opened for the day, I found the self-contained parking lot laden with vendors of all […]
