If you’ve been reading this blog for a while (thank you!, BTW), you’ll know that pasta is my favorite (well, Italian food in general). If I could eat Italian food all day, er’y day, I would. The Americanized version of Italian dishes aren’t known for being the healthiest (Curse you, carbs!), so that isn’t ideal. … Read more
In the interest of full transparency, I almost forgot to write this blog. In my defense, I kept forgetting it was Thursday (when I usually write). I was also watching Japanese wrestling (which is good since I was having withdrawals after their month-long tournament ended in August) and I was super excited because the new … Read more
Pancakes. Hotcakes. Griddlecakes. Flapjacks. No matter what you call them, they are a great meal anytime of day (who doesn’t like breakfast for dinner?). Pancakes also contain problem ingredients for many with stomach issues and dietary restrictions. Luckily, there are alternate options that are delicious. We came across King Arthur Flour at our local Food … Read more
**UPDATE 1/10/19** If you’re in town for a Carolina Panthers, Charlotte Knights, or Charlotte Hornets game, but don’t want to eat in Uptown, head a couple miles over to Central Avenue. In the heart of the trendy, but still cool Plaza-Midwood neighborhood, you’ll find a variety of restaurants. One restaurant that I recommend is … Read more
They say it’s your birthday… My sister’s to be exact. If you’ve been following my blog for any time (or you know, read the Who Am I? page), you’ll know that my sister is gluten-, soy-, and dairy-free per her doctor’s orders. That obviously makes things tricky on any occasion, a birthday celebration is even … Read more

After a day of running errands, we found ourselves hungry after 8 PM. Luckily, there was a Smashburger nearby. After consulting their menu for dietary restriction options, we decided to make our first visit to this establishment. Dinner … Read more
If you’ve spent any time reading this blog, you’ll know that I’ve been to Atlanta three times since April. I can’t help it that the Braves had good events so close together. Side note: I’ll have you know that the Braves are 3-0 when we’ve been in attendance. At least there has been a variety of … Read more
This past weekend, we made another trek to Atlanta. If you missed it the first time, you can read about our trip to Atlanta over Easter weekend here, here, and here. The last link ties into this blog, so go read that and we’ll meet back here. Are we all on the same page now? … Read more
Memorial Day is the official kickoff to summer and to cookout season (I think some of you actually refer to cookouts at BBQs). This means hamburgers, hot dogs, barbeque, chips, and all of the desserts. Getting hungry, aren’t you? Same. For our friends and loved ones with dietary restrictions, cookouts can be frustrating event. If … Read more
Mmmm, tacos. It’s safe to say that nearly everyone likes tacos. I’m a picky eater & eat basic versions of them that I love. Eaters with dietary restrictions may think they can’t enjoy tacos. Au contrarie! I have a recipe that’s dietary conscious friendly, quick, easy, and delicious. It’s also gluten-, dairy, and soy-free. That doesn’t … Read more
