A double dose of for you today!

Have you explored yet? Well, I recently did and it's AWESOME. Especially this one ⬆️ The latest release from NONGLUTEN was chock-full of so much great info, from restaurant reviews to product reviews and more.

Having been through the transition to a gluten-free life for a family member (my son), I found NONGLUTEN's experience of going through the same transition for his wife so familiar. I'm always intrigued to hear other people's experiences with a Celiac diagnosis. I learn something from all of them... which is why it's so important to talk about Celiac. You never know who you'll help by sharing your story.

My favorite part in the recent Substack from NONGLUTEN was his interview with the restaurant critic for The Philadelphia Inquirer. It is a definite must-read and I am jealous of all the GF folks in Philly who have a mainstream food media writer drawing attention to how gluten-free friendly restaurants are in every restaurant review he writes. Even if a restaurant doesn't turn out to be a "safe" place for GF folks, at least the concept of being gluten-free/ needing to eat gluten-free is worked into every single review and-- in turn-- is worked into every reader's & every restauranteur's consciousness. By talking regularly about GF/Celiac, we are normalizing needing to eat GF which goes a loooong way towards easing some of the mental burden/stress of dining out with Celiac Disease.

Anyhoo, please check out NONGLUTEN and keep speaking up about Celiac Disease and gluten-free dining/cooking/eating.

Not just this , but every month.

It's time and we're still celebrating . Today with this super fun and actually kinda cute intestinal villi stuffie❤️ Some kids want teddy bears, some kids want villi. 😉

I feel like this could be a really sweet gift for a young kid recently diagnosed with Celiac. "The unhappy cell side converts into a happy cell by turning it inside out." I mean, really, how cute is that!?! Snuggly and educational!

Throw this in a basket filled with delicious gluten free treats (maybe some butter + sugar😁) and you could help make the transition to a gluten-free life a little easier for a child.

Order from GIANTmicrobes.com.

Stay tuned for more Celiac news all this month in our posts.

Nothing screams Spring quite like a fluffy carrot cake smothered in rich cream cheese frosting! 🥕🎂🌱🌷

So this double layer cake was the perfect treat to accompany a very special spring birthday celebration.

Decorated with candied carrot ribbons and sprigs of fresh parsley. Some people go for fondant, but let's face it, nature gives us the most beautiful decorations. 😍

Happy Birthday! 🎉🎉🎉

Local folks! We got so much interest in our GF Bavarian Cream Donuts last month that we're looking to do a 1-Day Special Donut Day Menu featuring these gems.

Please vote in the poll below if you are interested in ordering some real GF yeasted fried donuts to pick up late morning/ early afternoon on Saturday, May 17. If we get enough interest, we'll go forward with that date and share ordering info. We'll most likely offer Bavarian Cream, Boston Cream, and Jelly-Filled... and will most likely be $5 each. So let us know!!

May is National Celiac Awareness Month!

All this month, watch our posts for interesting Celiac facts and fun offerings & happenings to celebrate National Celiac Awareness Month!

Today, just a quick reminder that 1 in 100 people will develop Celiac in their lifetime. It happened to my son at age 2, but it can happen to anyone at any point in their lives. How old were you when you were diagnosed?

And, a reminder to get out to your local grocery store as lots of shops are offering sales on GF foods to celebrate the month. Eating GF is NOT cheap, so stock up!!

Today's Gluten Free Travel Edition brings us to Iowa! Ames, IA to be specific.

After a long drive from MN, we were hungry and we were not disappointed with this quick detour off the highway for a late lunch .

Hickory Park is a huge BBQ restaurant, super family-friendly (kids' movies showing in the front & penny candy for sale), and they even come out to sing Happy Birthday when it's your birthday. 🥳

It wasn't our birthday, but it felt like it. An actual printed GF menu. A dedicated fryer. Dedicated GF kitchen space. Annnd, without asking, when you order a GF meal, a manager comes out to talk over all their GF precautions -- separate kitchen space, chefs change gloves, GF udis buns come out wrapped for you to assemble your own burger, dedicated fryer, they'll even bring out new/ clean tops for their squeeze bottle BBQ sauce. Oh, and they scoop from clean ice cream tubs if you order a sundae... which you should because they have a huuuge sundae menu.

I mean, we are so much that we didn't really need dinner by the time we reached our hotel later that day.

If you're driving through Ames, definitely make a Hickory Park stop! Two big thumbs up! 👍👍

Last installment from Minnesota... and it covers a few days of eating. From the GF nachos at in the Mall of America (because you can't go to the twin cities without a stop at the Mall of America 😉) to a refreshing Acai bowl at in Northfield, MN (with dedicated GF granola!!) to free breakfast at our hotel in St Paul (certified GF yogurt & fruit) to dinner in Wayzata, MN with old friends at with GF buns and a dedicated fryer for fries.

Thank you, Minnesota. You fed us well. 🤗

More Minnesota GF eats! Dinner out in St. Paul. 😋

did not disappoint when it came to burgers, fries, and MILKSHAKES!!! A great bar/ burger joint near-ish the Xcel Center can make any of their amazing burgers GF and they have a dedicated fryer. Cherry on top is that they are super-accommodating and will make sure their milkshake machine is clean before mixing you up a GF shake. Perfect stop before a hockey game with loads of indoor and outdoor seating!

On the road again... traveling for a few days on a mini Midwest college tour. Our first stop is the Twin Cities, specifically St Paul, and last night's dinner went perfectly after a day of travel with the Knicks game at the hotel.

If you're in the Twin Cities, definitely check out for great, safe GF eats. Note the labeling on the pizza box!! 🎉 We called in our order for delivery and the employee I spoke with was very reassuring re: cross-contamination. She said-- and I agree-- you should always call in an allergy order rather than using the app. She explained that they get fresh ingredients/containers from the fridge for GF pizza and always use separate utensils and pizza cutters. She said we should call if anything looks "wrong" with our order and they would make it right.

Um, absolutely nothing went wrong. 😋 It was a deeelish thin crust pizza. Pretty sure it wasn't a cauliflower crust either. 👍

Thanks for making safe GF pizza delivery a possibility!

Who's tried the new gluten tester?

I'm super-excited that it exists, but I haven't had a chance to try it out. Very curious to hear people's reactions and experiences.

TBH- it looks so much like a COVID test, it low-key gives me some PTSD, but I'll get over all that if it works!

Just happy that a product like this is back on the market. I know it doesn't replace doing your own research, but I'm hoping it can give a level of reassurance when you're a little bit nervous.

Thoughts?

Check out Ringo's side eye! "Uh, Mom, don't look! You can't see me. I'm just going to take a bite of this cake and you'll never know..." 🐕

I mean, you can't blame him for wanting to take a bite. Gluten Free Triple-Layer Chocolate Cake with Peanut Butter Frosting and a Heavy Drizzle of Milk Chocolate Ganache topped with Peanut Butter Cups.

A belated family birthday celebration!

Disclaimer: No dogs were harmed in this bake, and all human tummies were very happy. 😁

A day late, but who's counting? A bright and creamy Gluten Free Lemon & Berry Easter Trifle rounded out our Easter lunch yesterday.

Layers of GF lemon pound cake, lemon curd whipped cream, and fresh berries made for a very Spring-themed dessert for a very (finally!) Spring day!

Trifles are so easy to throw together and our butter + sugar lemon pound cake is a great addition. Available be special order... perfect for a Mother's Day brunch! Just sayin' 😉

These are the real deal. Yeasted, fried, filled with a light custard crean, and deeelicious.

Not at all something you should eat every day or something I could make every day, but definitely worth it when you do.

A custom order for a special birthday 🎂🥳🎂

Honestly, I do want to make these more often. Maybe they could make special appearances at our booth at the SMNC Summer Market?? What do you think?

(Oh, yeah, and these were what were frying in yesterday's post😉)

Nope. That's a no. Not good. Not going to happen.

We did some baking tests in the kitchen yesterday and they were definite fails.

We were looking to see if the always-delicious Snickerdoodle Bar could be baked in small squares to avoid the extra step of slicing... aaaaannnndddd, the answer is decidedly NO.

You lose all of the creaminess of the original and really, everything that makes it special.

So, thus ends this experiment in baking. 🫤 But, sometimes our failures are just as important as our achievements... right? What have you learned from a "failure" recently? Let's celebrate our "failures" together! 🎉

time! I honestly think I give a shout-out to at least three times a year. 😳 I just love Jeni's so much!!

Not only are their scoop shops amazing at opening a fresh tub of ice cream to make their GF scoops extra safe for those with Celiac, but they also make A TON of GF flavors. And, I don't just mean basic flavors like chocolate or vanilla. I mean flavors with mix-ins that are normally gluten-full like Gooey Butter Cake and Banana Cream Pudding. 😋

I once emailed them to ask how GF their GF flavors were and they explained the process of how they make batches of ice cream, starting with the flavors with the least allergens and ending the day with the flavors with the most allergens. I know anything produced in a shared facility always carries a risk of cross-contamination, but Jeni's GF flavors have always been good for my kid with Celiac. 🎉

This is not a paid post. I just really love Jeni's... from the story behind how Jeni started the business to the creative flavor collections they put out every year.

Personally, I am hoping for some flavors from the Spring Collection (Tropical Bloom!) for my Mother's Day gift this year ... Hint hint....

Have you tried Jeni's? What's your favorite GF flavor? And, Jeni, why no scoop shops in NYC????

These are the cookies that are so big, they're MEGA!!

Each bite of this oversized cookie is packed with two kinds of chocolate chips and toffee bits. There might actually be more filling than cookie! 🤯😋

So many cookies are one-dimensional when it comes to texture. Either crispy or soft all the way through. Not these gems! Crispy on the edges and just almost under-baked and soft in the center. These cookies are magic ✨

Order for Mix n Match Next Day Pick-Up or have a box shipped right to your doorstep 🎁🍪☺️
