What’s the old saying? When in Minnesota, eat tater tot hot dish! OK, I just made that up. In all seriousness, we do like our hot dish here! Some people might call it casserole but nope, it’s hot dish! 😉 This was a staple dinner in our house growing up. My family always just called…
Gluten-Free Disney World Guide 2019
I am back from Disney World (aka the most magical place on Earth – it’s actually true!) We went at the end of January and we tried to find a week that we thought would be quiet. It turns out that it’s busy no matter when you go. 😉 If you follow me on Instagram…
Nima Sensor Tutorial
Hello to all my gluten-free friends!! There have been some requests for a tutorial on how I use my Nima Sensor so here you go!

Gluten-Free Restaurants in Minneapolis/St. Paul
This list is current as of March 25, 2019. I LOVE living in Minneapolis. Besides the culture and amazing people we have here, we are fortunate to have a great selection of gluten-free restaurants, breweries, and food trucks. One of the things I also love is that we are so close to St. Paul and…
Gluten-Free Canada: Montreal and Quebec City
I recently finished off a wonderful week in Canada with my husband and some friends. Turns out I love Canada! We surprised Brian’s college best friend, Bob, for his 40th birthday!

Gluten-Free at Original Pancake House
Is there anything better than that first cup of coffee in the morning? I think not! We have a restaurant up the street from our house that we used to go to all the time. The owners knew us by name and they gave my kids hugs every time we walked in the door. They…
Gluten-Free Ramen Noodle Chicken Salad
I have been craving this ramen noodle salad that we had at parties a lot growing up. Maybe it’s the nice weather and wanting something light with lots of veggies.

Gluten-Free Las Vegas
I’m finally getting around to sharing ALL about our gluten-free/celiac-friendly food finds during our Las Vegas weekend getaway last month! We found some really great places to eat and even some that didn’t pass the Nima test, but everything ended up working out in the end…like it always does. So where did we eat in…
Tavern on France
I have yet another celiac-friendly restaurant for you that I was seriously surprised to find out was safe – Tavern on France in Edina! I had been to this restaurant pre-diagnosis and had maybe heard that they had some gluten-free options. This visit was a total last minute decision to have an early dinner with the…
