10 Things I Wish I Would Have Known When I Was First Diagnosed…
This upcoming summer I will have officially been gluten free for four long, rollercoaster years. If you would have told me that I would be where I am today four years ago, I don’t think I would have believed you. I was about to be a junior in college, had gone through some major life changes outside of my diet, and now I was supposed to give up pizza rolls? I was in a rage of teenage angst and had no idea where to start. Here are the 10 things I wish I would have known when I first went gluten free: You are going to have to build a high tolerance for nay-sayers. There are always going to be people out there who tell you that they learned from South Park that being gluten free isn’t real (yes this actually happened to me). It is okay to be sad, angry, and at times completely and utterly defeated. I can’t tell you the number of times I have gotten mad at myself for crying about being gluten free, which …
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. …
Pi Pizzeria | St. Louis, MO and MORE
Yes, I do have more gluten free pizza for you. Want to know the best part? Not only does Pi has 4 locations in the St. Louis area BUT they have 1 in Washington D.C. and 1 in Cincinnati, OH. Check out their website HERE for the low down on all their locations and the full menu for each location. I’m greedy when it comes to my pizza toppings, so that’s why I tend to make my own. And they have plenty of options on the menu for any pizza lover from the veggie lover to the meat lover. As you can see from the first picture below, my boyfriend and I went for a carnivore make your own pizza this visit with about 4 different meats. The second pizza is one of their pre-made ones called the “Bucktown”. You really cannot go wrong here, people. The Hill and the Maplewood are all awesome choices from the STL locations, as well. All the staff I have run across have been super friendly and knowledgable. I once …

Quick Detour to the World of Cruelty Free
I have been slowly making my way through all my existing beauty products and replacing them with cruelty free products and I am looking for some suggestions on different brands. Listed below are a few of the items I have found that I love but I am looking for a face lotion with SPF, sunscreen, deodorant, and face wash plus any other products you love! And of course, these are all gluten free. Soapbox Shampoo & Conditioner BeautiControl Makeup I use a lot of their products (my mom sells for them) from foundations to brow pencils. E.L.F. Cosmetics I would have to do an entire post to tell you all the ELF products I own. They have amazing products for really low prices. CeraVe I just their moisturized cream and their renewing SA cream for my eczema. Has anyone used this AM facial moisturized lotion or sunscreens? Another plus: they have $2 off coupons on their website!
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 …
