Ace Pumpkin Hard Cider
Happy fall, y’all!! Even though it is 90+ degree in the city of St. Louis, we have officially transitioned to fall. And you know what that means??? PUMPKIN ERRRTHANG. Break out the PSL, flannel, and hayrides!!! My favorite fall themed beverage is Ace Pumpkin Hard Cider. I cannot wait to find it on tap and in stores soon!! I have absolute no issue with the sweetness of most ciders because I have an intense sweet tooth. However, this cider is definitely more on the spicy side and less sweet than their other varieties for those of you out there who are not a fan of the sweetness! Check it out and let me know what you think!!!
Austin, TX
Hey y’all, I went to Texas and actually had (mostly) amazing gluten free food so I wanted to share my findings! VIA 313 Pizza | 1111 E 6th St, Austin, TX This place was great. We went to the 6th St. location which is more of a food truck and the delivered our pizza into the bar next door. This was definitely top 5 GF pizza’s I’ve ever had. There are multiple locations all over the Austin area too. Hopdoddy Burger Bar | 1400 S Congress Ave, Ste A190, Austin, TX Not pictured: truffle fries fried in dedicated frier! WOO! But, don’t eat these burgers. Felt very not okay after eating here but I definitely took a risk eating here. The reviews were very 50/50 if the place was celiac safe or not. Check on the fries if you go but they were in a dedicated fryer when I was there and they were amazing. Frank’s | 4th & Colorado, Austin 78701 Awesome late night snack stop. The waiter was super knowledgeable about the gluten free options. …
MYBREAD flatbread pita pizza
These are the real deal. I honestly don’t think I need to look for a different gluten free pizza crust ever again. The MYBREAD Flat Bread Pita made the most amazing and easy crust a celiac could ask for. The best part? It took 10 minutes at 450 degrees. Fast AND easy, that’s my favorite type of meal. I am not going to lie, this pizza was a throw whatever random things I could find on top kind of pizza but I’ll still give you the details. The sauce: Classico creamy alfredo pasta sauce The toppings: fresh garlic, diced onion, and baby spinach The cheese: mozzarella, parmesan, pecorino romano
The Lona’s Obsession Continues
Decided to pick up Lona’s Lil Eats for take out last weekend with Sam and to try some new things on the menu. We are still obsessed. This time we both ended up getting the grilled steak wrap. They are famous for the wraps claiming they are the “original giant rice paper wraps” and let me tell you, they are not joking because this thing was MASSIVE. I ate it for three separate meals. I also got the chopped vinaigrette salad for my side. Their smoked vinaigrette is amazing! To learn more about Lona’s check out my first blog post about them.
Send Me Gluten Free | May
This is my last Send Me Gluten Free box from my 3-month subscription. I’m honestly very sad that this wonderful time in my life is coming to an end. But I will be back for them again soon (when I have more money and am not a broke graduate student). 1. Simply 7 Sea Salt Hummus Chips:★★★★★. Honestly these tasted like Funyuns to me but I loved them. 2. Cosmos Creations Caramel Apple Crisps:★★★★. I really liked these but the flavor/consistency took a little while to get used to. 3. Montana Monster Munchies Gluten Free Cookie: ★★★★★. Very strong pat and peanut butter flavor but super moist. Loved this cookie 4. Fruit Bliss Organic French Agen Mini Plums:★★★★. I was very unsure about these at first but I actually enjoyed them more than I thought I would. Not the easiest to eat because of how sticky they are, though. 5. KIND Popped Dark Chocolate with Sea Salt: ★★★★★. You already know my love for these. Check out my post on KIND bars. 6. NuNaturals NuStevia Natural …
May is Celiac Awareness Month
If you didn’t already know, May is celiac awareness month and I am going green for the occasion. This is the perfect time for you to advocate not only for yourself but for the 1 and 100 people also diagnosed with celiac disease and the many more that are undiagnosed. Check out this post by Beyond Celiac (formerly the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness) on 60 things you can do to raise celiac disease awareness. Then share this video on your social media with the hashtag #60ForCeliac. Read this post I had featured on the Beyond Celiac Gluten-Free in College series. Get out there and let the world know about celiac disease and hope for a cure someday soon (because I need some pizza rolls in my life ASAP)!
The Corner Pub & Grill | Valley Park, St. Louis, MO
You know those restaurants with a story that just make you feel good and safe to eat at? Well Corner Pub & Grill is that place for me. The owner’s daughter was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2005 at the age of 7 and so all of his restaurant’s have gluten free menus. See my post about the Tavern. However, the Corner Pub in particular has its gluten free menu named after his daughter Hanna. Read more about their story here. This is actually the second time I have been to the Corner Pub. The first time I got nachos and chili but Sam and I inhaled our food and didn’t get a picture. This time I made sure to get a picture because I have been dying to tell you all about this gem. Do you see those breaded chicken fingers??? They are amazing as they look. They have a dedicated fryer and they aren’t afraid to use it (so they say). I think the live up to that statement. I know not everyone loves …

Lona’s Lil Eats | St. Louis, MO
First let me address the elephant in the room (picture): The can of Busch is my boyfriend Sam’s and even though he drank some gluten with our dinner, he really enjoyed his gluten free food. Lona’s Lil Eats’ menu is completely gluten free expect their dumplings and like 1 dish with a flour tortilla. However, they are known for their MASSIVE (seriously they are huge) rice paper wraps. But in typical Hayley fashion, I got something else. I got the Lona-Q Chicken. It consisted of grilled chicken, stir-fried glass noddles, and Lona-Q sauce. The sauce was similar to a sweet and spicy asian BBQ sauce and was amazingly good. All plates come with a side or salad so I opted for the chopped vinaigrette. Sam got the #1 5 Star platter which was basically everything on the menu, typical. We both loved this place and are planning to go again very soon. It had such a cute interior and patio seating outside. Check out their hours and menu here.
