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 […]

Feel Good Foods Gluten-Free Asian Meals Review

Asian food is one of the few ethnic culinary dialects that is somewhat conducive to gluten-free dining. However, when dining out, there still exist gluten-free danger zones, namely the presence of gluten-filled soy sauce and other glutenous ingredients.  As a busy college student with a shortage of gluten-friendly restaurants in town, I have come to rely on Feel Good Food’s vegetable egg rolls as a staple meal in my collegiate dining […]

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 […]

Kite Hill Almondmilk Cream Cheese Review

Cream cheese is just one of those things you think you lose forever when going dairy-free. After all, most dairy-free cheeses fail to capture the “creamy” quality that makes cream cheese such a luxury. Believing I was doomed to eat topping-less bagels for all eternity, I couldn’t believe my eyes when I spotted almond milk cream cheese at my local Whole Foods Market. With the highest of hopes, I invested […]

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 […]

Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Plain Bagels and Everything Bagels Review

Despite the abundance of gluten-free breads out there lining grocery store freezers, most are barely palatable imitations of the breads we all knew and loved before gluten decided to break up with our bodies. Some are holey, some are tiny, and some are just too darn expensive to try. I’m thankful I’ve found several brands I can get behind both for their amazing products and their guiding philosophies. Canyon Bakehouse is […]

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 […]
