[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Twin City Grill at Mall of America was honestly my favorite place in the Cities for a BLT sandwich. They also have these delicious salt and vinegar french fries. So if you can eat gluten, go there for the BEST BLT and french fries!! I was so elated to find out that Twin City Grill…
Sassy Spoon
Sassy Spoon is the one restaurant that I feel 100% confident walking into. I don’t need to ask questions or feel like I’m bothering them with my food requests. Why? Because this place is 100% gluten-free and it’s literally blocks from my house. Lucky me! I had been to Sassy Spoon a couple times before…
Hola Arepa
Have you ever had an arepa before? I don’t think I had ever heard of one before I visited Hola Arepa!! Now I think about them every day! Hola Arepa was first a food truck and now they have a brick and mortar on 35th and Nicollet in South Minneapolis. I’ve been for dinner and…
Minnesota Vikings – Gluten-Free at U.S. Bank Stadium
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The 2016-17 football season was the first year for our beloved Minnesota Vikings to play in their brand-new, nearly 1 billion dollar facility in downtown Minneapolis!

Gluten-Free Cruises: Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas
We love to travel. We have cruised probably 5 or 6 times, in different parts of the world, and on many different cruise lines. Believe me, I feel lucky. In June 2017, we traveled with my husband’s parents and his sister and her family on Royal Caribbean Grandeur of the Seas to New England and…
Celiac Disease: My Progress At 4 Months
August 2017: So it has been 4 months since my diagnosis. How am I feeling? So much better. Not 100%, but definitely better! First thing, I gained some weight. Probably about 10 pounds. And I’ll be honest…it’s hard to gain weight that quickly. But, I keep telling myself that it’s a good thing though because it…
Barrio
I am going to start this post by saying that I don’t expect restaurants to drop what they’re doing because I walk in with Celiac Disease. I understand that not all restaurants can offer gluten-free items or a safe kitchen. And that’s why I don’t go those restaurants. But, oh man, I was so disappointed…
My Celiac Disease Diagnosis
When did it all begin? Well, Celiac Disease is a genetic autoimmune disease, so I know it has been laying dormant my whole life. I have never really had any digestive problems, like ever, so what triggered it to flare up and become the monster that took over my body? Was it the stress and…
