So Delicious Cashew Milk Ice Cream Review

I’ve spent way too much money on sub par dairy-free ice cream in my years post-dairy. Despite the endless dead ends, I have continued on my quest to find ice cream that is rich, creamy, and perfect. Having tried rice, almond, and coconut based varieties without finding my Goldilocks product, I could not wait to give the new line of cashew milk ice creams from dairy-free dedicated So Delicious Dairy Free a try. These new […]

Carrabba's Italian Grill Review

If the soup is uninspired, my entree would be described as the polar opposite. I went with the wood grilled salmon with a side of Italian green beans. The salmon, made without the grill baste, came topped with a tomato basil vinaigrette that was downright tantalizing. Made with flavorful tomato, aromatic basil, and deliciously distinctive balsamic vinegar. The fish itself was cooked perfectly, easily sliced by a fork. The green beans, cooked with olive oil, featured […]

Canyon Bakehouse Gluten-Free Bread Review and Giveaway

Canyon Bakehouse is one of those companies that just gets “gluten-free” right and does it in spectacular fashion.  Dedicated bakehouse? Check.  Dairy-free products? Double check. Bread that authentically tastes and feels “real”? Check, check, and check again. While I’ve been able to sample the rosemary and thyme focaccia and both varieties of bagels before, I have not explored their back catalog of breads in all shapes and sizes. I jumped at the opportunity […]

Glutino Gluten-Free Animal Crackers Review

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 […]

Hubbly Bubbly Falafel Shop Review

Ever since discovering the magic of falafels while exploring Annapolis this spring, I’ve been wanting to get another taste of the Middle Eastern delicacy. Luckily, I stumbled across Hubbly Bubbly, a College Park installation while going out for lunch with a friend recently, and the location proved to be the perfect meet-up point. What’s so cool about Hubbly Bubbly, is that this little restaurant serves up seriously good food that […]

Philly Swirl Italian Ice Review and Giveaway

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, […]

Sus Hi Eatstation Review (Sushi Eatstation)

Although I’ve taste tested my way around many Asian cuisines here on the blog, I have not yet made it to the world of sushi, mostly for my dislike of raw fish and difficulty of finding safe places to give the cuisine a go.  Luckily, a previous engagement near UCF proved to be the perfect opportunity for me to try out Sus Hi Eatstation, a funky sushi place that serves up food […]

Specialty Pizza Review

There are times when I am game for constructing a pizza masterpiece from scratch, and there are times when I am not. After a long workweek left me exhausted and uninspired, I could think of no better way to spend Tonys Sunday than settling in for the Broadway’s best night with a delivery pizza on hand to maximize the fun and minimize the mess. Living north of Orlando, most of […]

Gluten-free Friendly Restaurants at Universal Orlando CityWalk

CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort is a hot spot for tourists and locals alike. The restaurants are aplenty and the people watching is hard to beat. My goal this summer is to explore more of them, as I am a Universal Orlando passholder, but in the mean time, I’ve assembled a guide to gluten-free eats in this entertainment mecca.  With the exception of a few restaurants that I’ve actually eaten […]

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 […]
