Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
It’s been ages since I last embarked on a gluten-free baking project, because it has been difficult to find free time this semester. Luckily, with my final exams behind me, I was able to break out my mixing bowls to test drive the Bella Gluten-Free mixes that have been hanging out in my pantry for a few weeks now. What’s awesome about these mixes is that they are allergen-free and go […]
I originally wanted to order the shrimp a la plancha, but dairy proved hard to avoid in the coconut curry lime sauce. The waitress offered to have the kitchen prepare the shrimp without the sauce and I agreed because eating shrimp is such a treat for me. The shrimp had a lovely spicy flavor, which was enhanced by a squeeze of lime juice. The four shrimp were large and plump- […]
Microwave popcorn is one of those foods that can be tricky to find dairy-free. Although naturally gluten-free, butter and milk products are often used to provide the authentic buttery flavor made famous by movie theaters. Luckily, SkinnyPop has engineered a perfect solution for allergy-free eaters everywhere: microwave popcorn that’s not only safe, but pops up into it’s own bowl. These popcorn aisle newcomers are a perfect merge of convenience and satisfaction, and […]
One of the truly great things about Washington D.C. is that you can find just about any type of food from around the world here. I love any type of non-American food (and it’s usually more gluten-free friendly), but until recently have not sought out Thai food in the District. Thai food is my favorite of the Asian cuisines because it is just so flavorful and comforting. I love curries […]
As a busy college student, time for cooking elaborate, healthy meals is hard to find sometimes. Between school, work, and interning, sometimes I need a quick meal to fill me up and fuel several hours’ worth of activity. To do this, I often turn to frozen meals, which often have less than stellar nutritional and taste profiles. They’re quick and easy, but less than satisfying. However, when shopping at Mom’s Organic Market, […]
As a gluten-free eater, I am always in search of better sandwich breads, because gluten-free breads in general tend to have a lot to improve on. Whether it’s a tiny size, crumbly consistency, or holes that take up a good part of the slice, gluten-free bread has gotten a bad rap for being subpar in every aspect to gluten-full breads. When La Brea Bakery reached out to me with an offer to […]
R. House in Baltimore’s Remington neighborhood is quickly becoming my favorite place in the city. There’s so many gluten-free options and the vibe is absolutely perfect and foodie-centric. Especially on weekends, it’s nice to be around the hustle and bustle of the diverse crowd and take advantage of dining al fresco. Although I have visited R. House a couple of times, I have totally walked by Amano Taco without realizing that it’s […]
Baltimore is a nice playground for gluten-free foodies, with plenty of great options around town. One of my favorite new foodie hot spots in the city is R. House, which is home to ten up and coming food concepts from local chefs. I have been once before, but have been woefully negligent in my food blogger duties by not return to seek out more gluten-free options at the food hall. […]
I’ve discovered that Passover ushers in a gluten-free treasure hunt at local grocery stores as gluten-free versions of Kosher foods are stocked for the holiday. In a recent post-Passover run I saw a new-to-me brand that made a product I have never seen gluten and dairy-free: black and white cookies! I’ve seen gluten-free verisions of the striking cookies before but never a dairy-free version so I bought two boxes on […]
One of my favorite restaurant trends in recent years has been the abundance of fast-casual lunch places that offer affordable, healthy food that can be customized to dietary restrictions and preferences. The latest of these type of restaurants on my radar is Chopt, a salad-focused eatery that promises “farm-to-fast food” eats that are anything but boring. Chopt utilizes farm-fresh ingredients that are locally sourced, which means that their food packs a nutritional punch. […]
