Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
While I have discovered and enjoyed many gluten and dairy-free bakeries, baking mixes, and other sweets in my career as a food intolerant blogger, I have yet enjoy the luxurious experience of going to a gourmet chocolate shop and being able to select custom crafted creations that are safe for me to eat. Luckily, this review breaks the gourmet chocolate drought for me, because Pure Chocolate by Jinji is the […]
Gluten-free bakeries are an oasis for us gluten-free folks where we can once again revel in window shopping fresh baked goods that are actually safe to eat. Here in Baltimore, I have been spoiled by several excellent local bakeries, but was really excited to welcome Harmony Bakery as the area’s newest bakery. While not new to me, as I have been a patron of Harmony Bakery at the Saturday morning […]
Because a sandwich was no longer an option, I opted for a bowl of the vegan gazpacho, minus croutons on top. The soup was a delicious blend of veggies, in a tomato-based broth. I loved how the chopped vegetables, including cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers, were fresh and bursting with flavor. The soup was seasoned with garlic and black pepper, which shone through with every spoonful. Although it was my backup […]
Tis the season. Although September has not yet arrived, I’m so excited that this month’s round-up of products that caught my eye includes one of fall’s signature flavors: pumpkin. While I am not one to relegate pumpkin to a one-season indulgence, I am certainly glad to see the winds shifting towards my favorite season of the year. The theme that ties together this month’s four featured products is that they […]

Luckily, Nature’s Bakery has perfect timing introducing their new line of gluten-free fig bars just in time for back-to-school. As soon as I discovered that these bars were in the works, I […]
While moving back up to Maryland a couple weeks ago, my dad wanted to grab lunch with an old friend of his amidst all of the unpacking and supply runs. Wanting to mesh his tastes with my gluten-free needs, I suggested Glory Days Grill, which was a short drive away, which offered an extensive gluten-free menu as well as plenty of sports-related watching and eating to satisfy his friend and […]
For my first foodie excursion back in Baltimore, I had to carefully choose which of the many restaurants on my to-eat list I would indulge in. Winning that honor was Tortilleria Sinaloa, on the premise of fresh-made homemade tortillas and a 100% gluten-free menu. After a day of unpacking and putting together my dorm room 2.0 configuration (I am in the same dorm and room this year), I knew that a late […]
This review is part of my coverage of the launch of Enjoy Life Foods’ new line of allergen-free baking mixes. For more information about them, click here. One of life’s little luxuries is a stack of fresh-made pancakes or a nice, big Belgian waffle to start the day.

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. […]
