Read my part 2 of this review at this link. Recently, it feels like everywhere I turn I am discovering new products and restaurants that are turning my head and expanding my culinary horizons. My mom’s recent weekend visit allowed me to check out many restaurants I have been wanting to visit for a while now. While most of our itinerary was well-planned and strictly structured, my visit to One Dish Cuisine in […]
Artisan Cookies. I’m talking bakery case quality cookies that are just as beautiful as they are indulgent. For the most part, artisan, quality, and indulgent are three attributes not associated with gluten free cookies but that all changed when I met My Dad’s Cookies at this year’s Natural Products Expo East. Suddenly confronted with a table laden with picture perfect, yet totally gluten and dairy free cookies I could not […]
Nestled a few blocks away from Johns Hopkins University is a gluten-free safe haven that is 100% dedicated to serving fare free from gluten. While I love finding restaurants that offer safe options using cross-contamination prevention procedures, it’s a real treat to eat an establishment that I know without a doubt will not make me sick. Although Sweet 27 is free from gluten, almost all of their menu offerings can […]
After a week full of Expo East recap reports, I was more than ready to put my restaurant reviewer cap back on and indulge in food that wasn’t made by either myself or my school’s culinary outlets. As it happened, my mom came up to visit me this weekend, which perfectly coordinated with my desire to leave my dorm room longer than a couple hours. Since I don’t get off campus […]

If you look around my favorite dining hall on campus, it’s easy to spot the “danger zones” that are a gluten-avoider’s nightmare. The pasta station, the pizza station, the sandwich station, and the “fried” station (fried chicken, french fries, grilled cheese, etc.). I’ve quickly discovered that the most popular item on people’s plates any time of day is pizza. While I am finally among a population that loves pizza as much as I […]
Although I can hardly believe it, I’m almost a quarter of the way through my first semester in college. If I thought time was flying this summer, I’ve come to realize that it’s flying at supersonic speed now!
