Still waiting on the Subway

So I just found out that the test market for gluten free bread in Subway restaurants has moved from Dallas to the Duluth, MN area.
 To:the test market big wigs, please drop some gf goods off here in Kansas next time you travel up north....From: a gf girl patiently waiting for another easy lunch option :) 

Burger King New French Fry Recipe Gluten Free!

Latest news regarding the new Burger King french fries http://glutenfreeville.com/research/frie
So happy to see more and more restaurants and fast food joints are joining the gluten free bandwagon!  More options for this girl! Just make sure that you ask that at whatever location you go to that they make these fries in a dedicated french fry fryer.  :)

In.gre.di.ent Gluten Free Menu

The next time you are either in Manhattan, the KC Plaza area, or Lawrence, you will have to eat at In.gre.di.ent Restaurant.  I have heard great things about this establishment.  They have a gluten free menu online and it contains gluten free salads and build your own pizzas :)  http://ingredientrestaurant.com/ Yum!  Has anyone eaten there yet?  Let me know what you think.

Best Wishes to You in 2012!

How are you spending your New Years?  I am making some yummy GF mini cheese stuffed meatloaves and loaded baked potato casserole, maybe a Woodchuck (or two...), and a large ice cream sundae.  Yeah, the life of a mother of a three year old on New Year's, a different kind of exciting :)  I wouldn't ask for anything better :) 

Happy New Year's Everyone!

In Need of a Little Exercise Please....

I definitely over did it this year with the whole "Holiday Eating" activity.  (By the way, my son is insisting that I type this blog entry while I wear 3D glasses, needless to say, I am going to have a headache after this is post is submitted.) I feel as though I am to pop if someone would take a sharp pointy tool to my abdomen area. That may give some relief to this horrible satisfaction of my stomach being 120% full right now.  Thankfully I was blessed with family that knows and understands how to make me feel included in festivities while being gluten free.  You can overdo it on a gluten free diet-if you don't believe me, just come a take a look at the 30 pounds I have gained over the weekend (ok, I exaggerate a little, but it feels like it!)  Oh my...thankfully, through my husbands company, we are now enrolled in Virgin HealthMiles, which gives us a pedometer and we can track our daily steps.  I can then upload those miles from the pedometer via USB into the computer software and we get more extra $ towards our health savings account.  I thankfully received that pedometer in the mail the other day, just in time for me to start walking off these one million calories that I ingested over the weekend. I hope everyone had a wonderful and safe holiday :)

Reba's Restaurant Bar and Grill

I am so excited! Reba's Restaurant Bar and Grill in Newton, KS serves gluten free foods!  http://www.rebasrestaurant.com/ I emailed them a few weeks ago and I received a phone call from one of the owners. They actually have GF breads and buns to serve with their meals as well as soups, etc.  They even have GF desserts. She said that I could even call ahead and they would make sure they have things ready for a GF patron. It's such a nice feeling that you are being taken care of by a local restaurant to make sure that you have a wonderful dining experience on a GF diet.   This restaurant unfortunately caught fire a awhile back and has since been rebuilt and is beautiful and going strong.  I have heard though that it an establishment that maybe it is best to find a babysitter and leave your kiddos with them.:)  If anyone has been there recently, let me know what you thought :)
