Fun, Fresh Ideas to Manage Work, Home, and a Gluten Free Diet!

Highlights from the Big Apple

There she is, lady liberty, wrapped in her billowing robes.  She seems, from her attire, like she would understand bloating…. and expressly prohibit this condition from the American people and our guests. There is probably nothing more frustrating than going on a trip and getting gluten-ed.  Honestly, it makes you feel like you should stay in your gluten free home and never venture out again …..EVER. Education, courage and careful selections can make your next dining out or travel experience safe and enjoyable! And remember, Open Table has a link to search for Gluten free!

Be adventurous! Here are some tips from my recent trip to NYC.

1. Where to stay: Manhattan! As close to Central Park as possible! Why? It is beautiful! There is great shopping, the Rockefeller Center, Times Square and Broadway all in walking distance (or the subway, if you prefer).  I love the London NYC.  It is a stylish all suites hotel, its super swanky, and they have great deals! Their restaurant,  Maze, offers Gluten-Free selections, including toast in the morning and the pleasant staff, upbeat setting and impeccable service cannot be beat.

2. Gluten Free Dining

Aside from my prior post, where I strongly recommend Bouchon (www.bouchonbakery.com), Eataly (www.eataly.com), and Grom (www.grom.it), I have 2 more favorites that I visit each time I go to the city.

Toloache

An authentic Mexican Restaurant serving up to die for Margaritas and Mexican food.  The Toloache Margarita features hibiscus and blueberries and is the most decadent margarita I have ever had! This weekend, we went for brunch and I had the vegetarian Huarache while my dining companion had the fish tacos!   Time after time, this restaurant serves up delicious food and drinks with NO tummy ache!

Deliciousness served up at Toloache!

Rubirosa

Italian… Yes Italian! Did you think you could ever have Italian again? One word… Rubirosa! Located a short subway or taxi drive away, this trendy restaurant located in the lower east side serves up tasty Italian and features an entire Gluten free menu! Word to the wise, make reservations in ADVANCE! Please try the GLUTEN FREE MOZARELLA STICKS!!!! and Pizza! Not kidding! This place is THE BOMB!

Distracted Driving

545 am…not exactly my favorite time, and today my 6 year old is awake… Reason unknown…and would like breakfast and her hair done.  This definitely will add a wrinkle into my morning dash, but who can be upset by eyes like those? 

I have a busy day ahead and need to get some calories in before it truly starts. First things first… This girl needs coffee and thankfully the latest studies show so many health benefits that I’m going to make it a double! Second, Rudi’s gluten free cinnamon toast… With a little butter… Okay… Don’t be a hater! I like butter on my toast. If you don’t, I would suggest orange marmalade, but honestly it’s perfect by itself.

I pack up, hop in the car and eat this buttery deliciousness while I drive. Now that’s some Distracted Driving. Make it a great day!



maybe a little too much butter…
