Before I went gluten-free we always stayed in B&B’s when traveling, if there was one where we were headed. The difference between staying at a B&B and a staying in a hotel is like night and day but it’s not for everyone. You are likely to have to sit with strangers for breakfast. We love that aspect [...]

Hey sports fans!
Next time you’re in Baltimore watching the Ravens play at M&T Bank Stadium, you can enjoy some salty snacks and gluten-free beer! According to the Baltimore Sun, Anheuser-Busch’s gluten-free beer, Redbridge, is sold for $7 on the first floor concourse from a concession stand near section 130. The stand also sells gluten-free pretzels.

Spinach, that crunchy green salad leaf packed with protein and essential vitamins, takes on a different tone in its Indian cuisine variation, saag paneer.

Whether you lay out your blanket at the beach or bring dinner to a concert in the park, fried chicken gives your meal that homey American summer feeling.

Wheat plays a starring role in Thanksgiving, thanks to traditional stuffing. We can also feast our eyes on no-eat pumpkin pie, forbidden cornbread, and gravy spiked with gluten-full soy sauce. Some GF home chefs enjoy the culinary challenge of a holiday—and some throw up their hands and make reservations elsewhere. In my opinion, hotels present [...]
Notify the Restaurant Beforehand.
Think back to when you were in school (for some of us, that’s a harder challenge than others): Did you prefer when the teacher popped a quiz, or when you had advanced warning to review materials and make sure everything was in order? When dealing with the gluten free diet, most restaurants [...]
Reward Extra Service with an Extra Tip.
Another no-brainer. I generally tip between 20-25% when someone handles my needs well, though I’ll go higher for exceptional service. The reason is that waiting on a Celiac requires far more effort than waiting on a typical patron. If you tip like everyone else, the waiter actually makes less [...]
