Feel Good Foods Mini Pizza Bagels

Sally says:

I found these gluten free mini pizza bagels at Whole Foods in University Heights.

They’re okay. The box says there are 9 bagels, but there were actually 10, which was cool.

The instructions on the box say to cook for 12-14 minutes, but 13 minutes proved to be a bit too much in my oven, and my oven doesn’t run particularly hot.

So if you’re cooking them in the oven, I would recommend checking them after about 10 minutes or so, maybe less if your oven runs hot.

Nordstrom Grill

Beachwood

I really enjoyed my recent lunch at Nordstrom Grill. The restaurant is on the 3rd floor of the Beachwood Place Nordstorm store.

They have a menu with designated gluten free items.  I was assured by the greeter/seater, and very capable server, that my meal would be safely gluten free.

The Honey Dijon Cobb Salad was fresh and tasty. It was topped with perfectly cooked and seasoned salmon

My gluten eating companions enjoyed their salads.

There are several entrees marked gluten free and gluten free penne is available.

The menu does not mark the tomato soup as gluten free. However, the server checked with the kitchen and the tomato soup is gluten free.

Covered parking makes this restaurant an even more enticing choice during Cleveland’s inclement weather.
