If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve seen that I’ve been posting some food photos with an odd-looking little black device. This gadget is called a Nima Sensor and she’s my new best friend! As I’ve mentioned before, it’s a bit of a struggle to eat out with Celiac Disease (unless, of course, you’re at…

My Celiac Disease Diagnosis: One Year Later
One year ago today I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. Wow, how my life has changed in the last year! I wanted to come on here and share my thoughts about what the last 365 days has meant to me, both the good and the bad! My support I couldn’t do this without my husband…
My First Whole30
I finished the Whole30!! Wow, I kind of can’t believe I did it! I didn’t do a full post about my 4th and final week (more like final 10 days) because it was SO boring and I really kind of struggled through. My meals felt really thrown together and uninspired. Here are links to my…
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 3
I’m still at it!! This week was much more tough for me, I’m not going to lie. I think I said that last week, too. It was definitely the sick kids that did me in this week! And then I got sick! I’ve been stuck in the house for like 5 days and I’m starting…
Whole30 Week 2
Still going strong on Whole30! I have really surprised myself on this. I cannot believe I’ve gone 2 whole weeks without any chocolate! All I really want is a tiny little Enjoy Life chocolate bar (we have four “fun size” bags in our chest freezer leftover from Halloween and I have to look at them…
