Wholesome Chow Baking Mixes Review

When it comes to the art of gluten-free baking, let’s just say that my skills and expertise are a little lacking. I heavily rely on prepackaged mixes and local bakeries to help me out when I’m craving baked goods and have avoided playing around with different ingredients and prep methods off-recipe.  Although I’ve had them in my dorm pantry since August, my newfound confidence in the kitchen from winter break […]

Disordered Eating: National ED Awareness Week

I don’t remember exactly when food became the enemy. It was sometime in the second semester of my freshman year of high school. Just as I was hitting my stride, growing confident in my abilities and interests, and forming friends who understood me more than ever before, my world came crashing down. But no one knew.  Because I wouldn’t- or couldn’t- let them.  See, that’s the problem with eating disorders. […]

Event Preview and Giveaway: Living Without's Gluten-Free Food Allergy Fest

When it comes to being gluten-free, there’s nothing that I love more than connecting others who share the unique experience of having dietary restrictions. While I have had opportunities here and there to meet up with and make friends with other gluten/dairy free folks and fellow bloggers, I have been waiting for an local opportunity to come along. Sure enough, my wish for a Central Florida based gluten-free event that aligned with […]

7 West Bistro Review (w/ Order Up Towson)

Immediately after placing my order, a woman from 7 West called me to let me know that my original order (chicken souvlakia with stewed green beans and roasted potatoes) would have to be modified because the stewed green beans are no longer 100% gluten-free. I’m glad this was caught before the order proceeded, but was disconcerted that they are presented as a gluten-free option. Hopefully this will be corrected in […]

Ejji Ramen Review (Belvedere Square)

Plunging head first into the semester, I have not had a moment to breathe, much less get off campus for fun in the first three weeks. As my workweek wound down leaving me with a wide-open and forcasted to be beautiful weekend, I knew that I’d have to remedy my cabin fever and escape for an hour or two. Fitting the bill for my Saturday adventure was Belvedere Square Market, […]

Simple Mills Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Paleo Muffin Mix and Chocolate Chip Cookie Mix Review

In my journey into paleo-friendly baking, I’ve become comfortable with simple almond-flour based recipes with few ingredients. While these have been easy enough, my plunge into a super busy second semester had me dreaming of a paleo-friendly mix to streamline my frequent baking for breakfast and between-class snacks.  Enter Simple Mills, a company passionate about clean, healthy baking that also happens to be allergen-friendly and as tasty as they are […]

Gluten-Free & Dairy-Free Favorite Products: January

Zen Chocolate Pudding with Almondmilk While at Whole Foods in Dr. Phillips (Orlando- Sand Lake), I spotted the quintessential childhood treat: chocolate pudding cups. Normally off limits due to milk content, I was excited to find that these were made with my milk of choice: almondmilk. The pudding is rich, indulgent, and fully lived up to- and surpassed- my memory of what pudding should be. In perfectly portioned containers, the […]
