  • Caramel Indiana area review
    Carmel was such a charming place to visit, full of character and beautiful areas to explore. We also spent time in Nashville, which was absolutely wonderful, with scenic drives, unique shops, and a relaxing small-town atmosphere. One of the highlights of the trip was visiting the zoo and seeing kangaroos up close. I always enjoy…
  • Turnovers
    Who doesn’t remember growing up with these delightful pastries? They were a childhood favorite, easy enough for us kids to whip up all on our own. I’ve been longing for these treats like crazy, and during a visit to Oregon, my daughter stumbled upon puff pastry options from Schar and Sweet Loren’s. Naturally, we couldn’t…
  • Damask Gluten Free Baking Kits
    Damask Gluten free cake pop kit is amaing.
  • 110 Grill, Saugus MA
    I saved the best for last, although it is hard to say best; Every place we ate in the Boston MA area was super amazing and I didn’t have one place that I didn’t enjoy or that I had a reaction to. However this place  was sooooo good that we went twice.   the only place…
  • Kanes Donuts, Gluten Free Boston
    The Kane’s Donuts we went to was in Saugus but they are all over the Boston Area.   As I was getting the website for this post I found that they will ship GF donuts to me, that was a dangerous thing to learn.  I will probally not do that, the whole lure of this for…
  • Legal Seafoods, Boston MA
    After another full day out walking in the windy streets of Boston we found ourselves on the wharfs.   Tired and windblown we stumbled upon Legal Sea Foods.   We must have looked a mess after being in gloves and hats all day long and not to mention dead on our feet from walking all day long…
  • BenCotto, Boston MA
    This is a true gem we found after another one of our walking tours in Boston.  Most of my posts for Boston are going to include how cold I was.   Yes I am from Alaska, but Boston’s wind factor was just brutal and when you are surrounded by sky high buildings the sun don’t shine…
  • Walking Tour in Boston, Mysteries of Victorian Boston by Michael
    If you are ever in Boston (I know this is not food related but it was literally the best part of Boston) you have to take this walking tour. He will find you amazing places to eat afterwards. Reach him at this site or this site .We went on 3 walking tours none compared to Michael….
  • The Elephant Walk, South End
    After an amazing walking tour filled with mystery and excitement, (tour info) our tour guide  found us a few places to safely eat.   This was our first night in Boston so I was very thankful that he was able to suggest several places but we wanted to try something new so we chose Cambodian and…
  • Luccianos HN
    This was a cute little place in Londonderry, NH.  At first glance it is located in a strip mall and we hesitated to go in as we were celebrating a pretty big event.   We were all dressed up for my daughters graduation and we wanted a nicer place.  I heard great things about this place…

  • Fairbanks Alaska, Travel Info
    Here are a few litlte gems I found in Fairbanks Alaska.   They all have a risk of cross contamination however I did very well while eating at these establishments.    I was scared I wouldn’t find anyting but I had breakfast, lunch and dinner out with minimal damage. In no particular order: Blue Roof Bistro…
  • The Hungry Robot, Fairbanks Ak
    We took a trip to fairbanks Alaska and since my good friend Sue use to live up there she told me all about The Hungry Robot.    Of course she does not have to eat gluten free but when they came out with a GF crust she was excited to let me know.    I…
  • Allergy Friendly Chocolate cake
    My third grandchild decided he was going to outdo his brothers and kick it up a notch with his food allergies.  We are no strangers to food allergies in our home but corn and egg were something we didn’t have to worry about before.   My daughter set out to find a good recipe that she…
  • Elegant Elephant Review
    The Elegant Elephant is a little hole in the wall place, literally. You have this big large parking lot and then you walk down some stairs to a little hole (window) in the wall and this is where you order from. I wanted to get a photo to show you but it was busy with…
  • Petunia’s Pies and Pastries
    This is a bakery down in Portland. Hard place to get to if you don’t know your way around but worth it if you can manage a stop in. I was sad they didn’t have cinnamon rolls but we were able to get a few goodies just to taste and try. I would love to…
  • Butterfly Belly
    Isn’t that an awesome name for a restaurant? Butterfly Belly is an authentic Chinese place. The owners are super nice and are right there working the tables and cooking along side everyone else. It is a super cool place to visit and the food was super yummy. Its a nice little place right in downtown…
  • Jazzy Ladies Cafe Review
    I am going to brag all over this place! Seriously, it is one of the best places I think I have ever eaten at gluten or gluten free but luckily it is 100% gluten free. I am a breakfast fanatic and one of the saddest things about being gluten free is that you have to…
  • Eats and Treats Cafe Review
    We had a wild two days of finding all the 100% gluten free eateries in our area and it was a whirlwind of food, fun and smiles. We started with dinner at Eats and treats where we were greeted with amazing people who all had smiles on their faces. It was a quaint little place…
