Dinner for One

Last night I had a chance to not cook or find take out...So I popped an Amy's Garden Vegetable Lasagna in the nuke-o-wave and toasted a slice of Katz's Wholesome Grain Bread (btw: link is for a free sample). Nummy - it felt like a "normal meal" And oh so easy. I finished up with a colored sprinkle cookie!

Since I am thinking about easy eats....
Olive Garden 
Cheeseburger in Paradise
Carrabbas
Outback
Uno

Or Sweet Sin Bakery in Baltimore!

Trader Joe's Spring Onion Rice Noodle Soup Bowl

 1 word - Nummy!!!  A little over salty, and I wanted soup, but by the time the bowl was cool enough to eat it was just noodles...but oh-so-tasty ones! 

 And since I was feeling hungry (ate at 2p) I also had a GF Enlish Muffin from/by TJ's.  It was a little crumbly and reminded me more of texas toast then an English muffin...but tasty nonetheless.

TJ's also has a great listing of GF Foods on their site. 

Kojo Show

Kojo had Vanessa Maltin/Celiac Princess on his show today - great show!

Jonesing for Wings

While I haven't been too cranky about missing out on bread, pizza and the like, I have been craving wings - and thanks to Glory Days I can have some!! Must make a trip soon!

(Link found on GF Travel Site - lots of national restaurant chain GF menu links)

Another link I wanted to save is DC Celiac Support - it had lots of local links.

Restaurant Review!

Italia's Corner Cafe

7089 Baltimore Annapolis Blvd Ste F
Glen Burnie, MD 21061

(410) 684-3817

Went in late last night in an act of desperation. For someone who can't consume gluten an Italian Restaurant sounds like h-e-doublehockeysticks! Pasta or Pizza - ummm no. But the gentleman who was taking orders (manager perhaps?) totally understood my issues and even pointed out that while the chicken wasn't breaded they used flour in the wine sauce - he offered to make it without flour - and then offered veggies instead of pasta. It was a super win - and possibly the most flavorful meal I've had in 3 month's of being gluten free.  (fwiw: I had the chicken piccata w/ vegetables - real ones like zucchini & asparagus!)

If I have as good an experience next time this place will certainly get 5 stars in my book!

Ewwww...grossssss!

After a flaky manager at McD's just outside Pennsic I looked up their menu - in particular the fries, here's what I found:

French Fries:
Potatoes, vegetable oil (canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor [wheat and milk derivatives]*, citric acid [preservative]), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to
preserve freshness). Dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent.

CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK *(Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients).
