If you are in San Luis Obispo, California drive very fast to Taste. 

This restaurant had small plates and the best ones are the AMAZING variations of gluten-free corn Mac and Cheese. You can have blue cheese, bacon, mushroom, broccoli, caramelized onions, provolone,  roasted red peppers, feta, spinach and a myriad of combinations of these. Oh my goodness it was the richest, creamiest mac and cheese  I have ever had in my life.   Also see my review of San Luis Obispo Donut Company.

OK GF friends book your flight now, you won’t be sorry!!!

I was visiting Texas and went to The Steeping Room for a tea party.
I don’t know about you but, when I have gone for tea since I was diagnosed I have had tea and “the salad” .

At the Steeping room I had the full tea listed on the menu, which included tea sandwiches, scones with jam and clotted cream, tea cookies, fruit, and a tea cake all gluten free and delish!!!!
The only problem I had was my non gluten free friends wanted to share things so they could taste what they hadn’t ordered.
I tried to explain that I couldn’t share because I couldn’t try any of theirs.

When in Austin have fun at tea and check with other tearooms to see if you can have more than “the salad”.

Everything in San Luis Obispo goes by SLO so this is the SLO Donut Company.

They have a regular donut shop with a huge variety of donuts.
It looks like the staff can be as creative as they want all the way from maple and bacon donuts to a duffle= donut+waffle.
When I was there around Feb. 2016 they were creating a gluten-free donut shop next to their regular one/ so maybe it’s open by now.
The only other huge wonderful gluten-free donut shop I have found was Rebel Donuts in Albuquerque, NM and it was amazing!!!

You walk into Los Agaves Restaurant and it’s a mad house where you order at  the counter but, the restaurant is really pretty and the food is amazing!!

I asked about a gluten-free menu and options and the owner immediately advised me and took care of me personally even though it was super busy. He told me he was going to make my food on a separate grill, advised me what I would like,  and then he made me a special coleslaw that was amazing.  The only places that comes close to this in Cleveland area are Momocho or El Carnicero which are very good and extremely gluten-friendly.

Jennifer’s Way (Commercial) Bakery

Over the last few years, I have heard a good deal about Jennifer Esposito’s advocacy endeavors, and the establishment of Jennifer’s Way Bakery in New York. After reading up on it, I have become very impressed with Ms. Esposito’s dedication to not only gluten-free baking, but “clean,” healthy baking, baking of the sort I do for myself, and long to do for those I love and whose health I cherish.

Jennifer's Way Box

Jennifer’s Way Bakery is free of many food allergens aside from gluten, along with the nasty preservatives and processed sugars and fats that wreak havoc on our bodies. Her offerings are gluten-, dairy-. egg-. refined sugar-, GMO-, soy-, nut-, and trans-fat-free, as well as free of preservatives. These are baked goods you can feel good about eating. And without all of these ingredients, the products really do taste amazing.

I am unable to visit the retail bakery in New York, but discovered recently that several of Ms. Esposito’s products can be mail-ordered from her new commercial bakery via the Jennifer’s Way Website. On the eastern US (we count as being in that area), your goods will arrive within 2 business days to ensure freshness, and this shipping option is automatically applied. For areas further west, there are other shipping choices that ensure the products will arrive within two days, as well. There are occasionally deals on different goodies and on shipping, so check in to see what is being offered. To start out, celiac disease advocate Gluten Dude offers a coupon on his site, if you’d like to give something at Jennifer’s Way a try.

I happened upon the site during a bagel promotion, and… pretty much bought every type of bagel there.

They. Were. Amazing.

Jennifer's Way Brooklyn Bagel

Huge, tempting, chewy on the outside, tender on the inside, these Brooklyn Bagels are certainly the best gluten-free bagels I’ve had. I loved all the varieties, but my favorites included the “everything” bagel (I never had the opportunity to try a “normal” everything bagel before my diagnosis, so this was a real treat), and the cinnamon cranberry bagel.

At first, I was wary of trying mail-order bakery goods, but I am so glad I took a chance on Jennifer’s Way. My products arrived fresh and well-packaged, and in a timely manner. I stored many of them in the freezer, where they kept well.

I highly recommend these healthy, delicious goods!
