Corny Dog

Corny Dog

Summer time means festivals and trips to Cedar Point, which leaves me missing some of the traditional fair foods that are far from GF. So, on a recent trip to Kroger (On Monroe Street in Sylvania) I was excited to find GF corn dogs.  I was thrilled to find this...
Belly Good Bistro

Belly Good Bistro

Olive Pits, not Garden

Olive Pits, not Garden

I have had gift cards for Olive Garden sitting in a drawer for a while, and recently decided to use them to grab take-out during a very busy week.  I called and placed the order based on the list of gluten-free options listed online.  I ordered the mixed...
