Cinco De Mayo a Bit Early

Over the last two years, I have visited several Mexican restaurants in the Toledo area that were willing to make gluten-free accommodations for me.  However, none of them had a dedicated gf menu, and anytime cooking gf is not a standard procedure at a restaurant, I...
Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice

Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice

One of the products I picked up at Walt Churchill’s was a boxed mixed from 123 Gluten Free.  I am always a bit nervous about purchasing gluten-free boxed mixes.  In my experience, they tend to be a bit on the gritty side, and I have found that when I bake...

Cheese Burger, Cheese Burger, Pizza?

Amie’s Pizza Factory has made some great additions to their menu . . . two types of gluten-free pizza crust.  One is a plain white crust and one is an herb crust. Last week I finally was able to give it a try. This is not somewhere you should order a pepperoni...

No Fish Fry Fridays for Me

First, let me state that I am not really a fish fan.  Outside of tilapia and shrimp, I do not eat many things that come from the sea.  Growing up Catholic I was fortunate to have a mother that shared (or perhaps caused) my distaste for fish.  So,...
Waffle Weakness

Waffle Weakness

Over the last few pancake breakfast, I have been taking notice of the waffle recipes on the back of the Pamela’s Pancake mix. I prefer waffles to pancakes and have only had frozen gluten-free waffles in two years. So, I started seriously considering purchasing a...
No Rocks Near this Granite

No Rocks Near this Granite

I recently had the opportunity to try out Granite City.  And, since I have a wonderful husband, who ordered his dish gluten-free too, I was able to try two different dishes. While the gluten-free options only number about 5 dishes, the flavor in the dishes was...

Pasta Fabulous

This week I was contacted by a local Chef to find out how he could get his restaurant listed on the website.  This was something new for me – a restaurant seeking me out.  I first corresponded with Chef Gil Evans to find out how extensive his...
