We spent almost 3 days at Magic Kingdom. Seriously, when we walked in and saw Cinderella’s castle, we were in awe. I think each day we were there we got the strawberry smoothie from Auntie Gravity’s Galactic Goodies. Cinderella’s Royal Table for lunch was one of the activities we talked about most leading up to…
Celiac Disease
Gluten-Free DisneyWorld 2018 – Hollywood Studios
We had one of our best dining “service” experiences at 50’s Prime Time Cafe at Hollywood Studios. I had read online prior to going that you can order gluten-free deep fried chicken but you need to let them know ahead of time. I think we had a reservation at 11 for lunch, so at about…
Gluten-Free DisneyWorld 2018 – Animal Kingdom
We started our morning at Animal Kingdom with a reservation at Rainforest Cafe. There is one at the Mall of America close to us, but we never go there so I thought it would be a fun experience for the kids. As soon as I told our server that I had Celiac Disease, she sent…
Gluten-Free DisneyWorld 2018 – Disney Springs
The day we went to Disney Springs was supposed to be our “rest” day, but I decided to book an appointment for my daughter at Bippidi Boppidi Boutique (so freaking cute and worth every penny) and we ended up spending the whole day there. I am so glad we did that though because I had…
Gluten-Free DisneyWorld 2018 – Epcot
Epcot was the second park that we visited and the first time at the snack carts where they have popcorn and ice cream treats and things. Just be aware that the snack cart operators are probably not trained as well on allergies as the restaurants are. The poor guys I asked about some of the…
Gluten-Free DisneyWorld 2018
We are back from a truly magical week in DisneyWorld! We celebrated my daughter Lucy’s 4th birthday and had the best time meeting princesses and characters, going on rides, and just being together. I didn’t post anything on my social media while we were there so that I could just focus on my family. I…
Whole30 Week 1
What did I get myself into? I don’t really know, but so far I’m kinda diggin’ it! One afternoon at about 4:00, I decided I was going to do the Whole30…and start the next day!! I’m currently on day 11 and feeling like I can maybe do this thing! I’m going to do a weekly post…
Gluten-Free Mexico: Vidanta Riviera Maya
Last month, my husband and I enjoyed a glorious week ALONE in Mexico! We had a truly wonderful gluten-free food adventure at our resort, Vidanta, in Riviera Maya which is the area between Cancun and Play del Carmen. Brian’s parents own a timeshare at Vidanta and we were able to use one of their weeks…
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…
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…
