After accepting that you can no longer have regular break, pizza, pasta and all that other good stuff you then realize that you also can’t have other things because of contamination. I remember thinking, “It’s all OK, I can still have french fries at fast food restaurants, eat lots of sushi, I should be all good.” Then you find out that soy sauce has wheat and french fries are fried with other breaded stuff and contaminated. Well, there are a few places we can go have fries! For a nice meal, Brick Tops uses a dedicated fryer for their fries so you can enjoy a great burger, bun-less of course, and fries. Chick-fil-A also uses dedicated fryers. So, while they might not really be good for you, they are gluten-free. Enjoy!
Sole Mio, gluten free Italian options in Nashville
September 8th, 2008
No Comments
While most Italian good is normally off limits, Sole Mio is there to help. While they do not carry rice noodles, they do offer to help make most of the items gluten free and are very friendly. I highly recommend the Insalata Di Mare and the Prosciutto e Melone for apps and Pesce del Giornio for dinner. The staff was very helpful, after wine it is a little pricy though.
Gojo Ethiopian Restaurant… mmmmm

So, for the first time last night I had Ethiopian food. We ate at Gojo at 415 W. Thompson Lane in Nashville. I have to say it was great. The staff was great and very helpful with my gluten issue. Their injera bread is made with teff (which is gluten free) but they do mix it so stay away. The meats are great though and they were able to suggest things that I could have and made sure mine was separated from the other folks I was eating with. I highly recommend them!
I love meetings

Actually that was sarcasm. Meetings take up way too much of my time, but for the next 3 days I am stuck in one. you know, the ones where they bring lunch in and there is not a gluten free option in site. I have my backpack stuffed with Larabar cashew bars and fruit sticks. The fun part about it is everybody who plans these meetings knows I have to have a gluten free option but when it comes to ordering lunch, they never remember.
Yellow Watermelon

I thought it was a bad watermelon at first and then promptly Googled it. A yellow watermelon is a real thing. It was really good, a little less sweet and a bit of a honey aftertaste. It does freak the brain out though! It looks like you are eating pineapple but tastes like watermelon.
Woodchuck Cider – the test

OK, so I just tried 2 different versions of the Woodchuck Cider, the Amber and the 802. Both were nice but a bit sweet for my every day taste. I do think I just found an easy take along for BBQ’s though! Which I am very happy about since New Grist is hard to find sometimes in this area. Oh… and yes, Whole Foods had New Grist again this week. First time in a month. It was $9.99 though. And to think Whole Foods is trying to get away from it’s Whole Paycheck nickname

So, was just walking around Frugal’s looking for New Grist again and noticed that Woodchuck Cider is gluten free. Anyone tried this? I just got 2 six packs, will give you my opinion later.
Great Dinner at Rumors East

Met some friends last night at Rumors East. Our waitress and kitchen staff was very helpful in letting me know what I can and can’t have. I was surprised to see that most of what was on their menu was safe and they have a great wine list. I highly recommend checking them out!
Gluten Free Beer

Where has it gone? New Grist was my favorite and you could find it at Whole Foods and Frugal McDoogal’s, now you can’t find it anywhere. I saw it a month ago at Whole Foods and they raised the price to almost $10/ 6 pack. They have RedBridge now, which is OK I guess but definitely not worth $8. Anybody know where New Grist gluten free beer has gone in Middle Tennessee?

I’ve been there a couple of times now and have to say that the folks at the Breeze Greek restaurant on Demonbreun have always been great in helping me out with gluten free options. I had the stuffed grape leaves and a chicken dinner that was great nd fast.
