Your Home For Restaurant & Product Reviews Free From Gluten & Dairy
Right off the bat, I will admit that I am not the biggest fan of granola. My breakfast usually consists of cereal, bagels, or simply fruit and nut butter. However, a recent trip to the Lake Eola Farmer’s Market changed my mind, as I discovered a vendor I had not seen before: Nutty Crunch. Offering gluten-free, grain-free, paleo granola, I was drawn in by the prospect of a healthy paleo […]
The wonderful thing about emerging from a difficult winter is that spring brings stunning renewal of nature, wonderful weather, and farmers’ markets. In search of a fun outing during my last weekend on campus, I decided to venture to the 32nd St. Farmer’s Market, which is near Baltimore’s Charles Village. Arriving shortly after the market opened for the day, I found the self-contained parking lot laden with vendors of all […]

When it comes to Farmers’ Markets, Central Florida certainly has an abundance of options when it comes to these showcases of local produce and other products. In my previous Farmers’ Markets adventures, I have found gluten and dairy free options at both the Maitland Farmers’ Market and Lake Eola Farmers’ Market (see restaurant directory above). I knew immediately that I had to head north of town upon discovering The Bite Bakery, an […]
Although Christmas is now behind us, there’s no denying the fact that this time of year is marked by the proliferation of cookies of all shapes and sizes. Normally one who does not seek out sweets, I have indulged myself over the past few weeks in Christmas cookies as a stress reliever for finals week and celebration that I made it through my first semester in college no worse for […]
After finishing off my popsicle from Peak Season Pops, I decided to wander around the various vendors around Lake Eola and it’s surrounding park. Spotting familiar faces such as Tamale Co. it was cool to see a thoroughly blended mix of food vendors, artisans, and other local purveyors offering items of all shapes and sizes. One vendor in particular- All Dried Up- caught my eye as I strolled through with their assortment of […]
Let’s just face it: Florida is miserable this time of year. No matter how many times we grin and bear it, the inferno-like heat, choking humidity, pesky bugs, unreliable weather patterns, and other staples of a sunshine state summer can get just too much to bear. The perfect (if temporary) antidote? Popsicles. Orlando is home to many different “pop shops” featuring icy creations that range from the familiar to more […]
It’s not often that I get cookies. Not because they’re particularly hard to source here in Orlando, but the few cookies I’ve tried have been severe disappointments with a few exceptions. The problem with gluten free and dairy free cookies is that they are often small, dry, crumbly, and loaded with sugar and preservatives. After an initial attempt, I had all but given up on the sweet treats until a bakery in Philadelphia […]
