New York City - Day 4
It was our last full day in New York City and we needed to fit in a lot! We wanted to fuel up to start our day, so we went to nearby Friedmans Restaurant for breakfast. As I’ve talked about before, our girlie loves chocolate chip pancakes, so we had to try these! They did not disappoint! She said they were the best gluten free pancakes that she’s ever had! They were big, fluffy, chocolatey with a pile of whipped cream - in a word, perfect. Friedmans is also known for their amazing gluten free menu and we felt really great about taking our girlie here. Her brother, who isn’t gluten free, said that his sandwich was the best breakfast sandwich he’s ever had!
New York City Trip - Day 3
Day 3 in New York City! This was an amazing gluten free food day and it all happened to be Italian food! We started with lunch at PizzArte because they had gluten free pizza crusts that people raved about. Our girlie tried the gluten free crust cheese pizza and she LOVED it! She said it was the best gluten free pizza crust that she’s ever had - and even went as far as saying that it may have been the best pizza she’s ever had!!
New York City Trip - Day 2
It was day 2 of our trip to New York City and I have to share one of our new FAVORITE gluten free dessert places, Posh Pop Bakeshop! This was the highlight of the day and honestly, one of the highlights of the trip. Our girlie loves sweets of all kinds, and this place had so many to choose from and they were all gluten free. We really wish there was one of these closer to home. I did see on their website that they ship all across the country, so maybe for a special occasion, we can have them delivered.
New York City Trip - Day 1
We had an amazing Spring Break trip to New York City a few weeks ago - and it was our very first trip since our girlie was diagnosed with Celiac Disease! We were unsure of how it would go but with LOTS of research and recommendations, we were able to enjoy ourselves and make sure our girlie was safe and gluten free.
Our Girl’s First Gluten Free Sleepover
Once we had received our daughter’s celiac diagnosis, one of our biggest concerns was finding ways for her to still feel included with her friends. We knew parties, sleepovers, school events and anything with gluten-focused treats would be hard for her. All of the birthday cakes, cookies or cupcakes at school parties (and other events) were going to make her feel left out, and we wanted to do whatever we could to prevent that.
Intro to My GF Girl
Welcome to our Gluten Free blog! We’re so excited to document this journey - not only to share with others going through this same experience, but for ourselves. It’s a live diary for us to remember what our girl likes, loves and just plain thinks is gross. (she’s 10!)
