Spring is in full swing and that means Summer has practically arrived. I’m so excited to have some trips in the works and especially hope to see the Pacific Northwest once again. My first adventure was last May to attend the IFWTWA conference and at […]
I don’t know about you, but I’m loving the Fall days here in Los Angeles. Maybe it’s because I was born in LA during October, but even if the weather doesn’t scream scarves and pumpkin spice, I always await the sights of pumpkin patches and […]
(Editor’s note: It’s always sad to have to report when a beloved place has retired. As of October 2023, Big Sky Cafe is no longer in business. Please check out my numerous articles like this one featuring other gluten-free oriented places in and around San […]
There’s no denying that Los Angeles is the place to be if you need a specialty diet. Gluten free, non GMO, Vegan, Vegetarian–LA has you covered. While it’s great to have these options, it doesn’t always mean they are the best. I have had my […]

During my time living in the Santa Ynez Valley, I always loved any chance I got to head to Cambria. Cambria is 30 miles north of San Luis Obispo, and 230 miles south from San Francisco. A humble, small town, Cambria is known for their […]
Remember awhile back when I introduced you to Grocery Outlet? Well, folks, since then, I have been an avid shopper. Even with our closest one about 20 minutes away, you will commonly see me braving The 5 freeway to head on over. While they have […]
I have been so fortunate to take some pretty awesome trips recently, and, you know what has been the icing on the cake (sometimes, literally)? The abundance of GLUTEN FREE options I have come across at most of my stops! We just got back from […]
Last weekend marked one of the most anticipated weekends of the year if you are a hardcore foodie and Angelino: The LA Food Fest. Formerly known as the LA Street Food Fest, this food faire with the possibility of “all you can eat” was […]
