Lunch today was a fun place in Avondale Estates, Georgia. Arepa Mia was beyond my wildest expectations. Talk about an Unexpected Discovery!!! Well, this was the ONE for today! Such a wonderful, wonderful, wonderful place to eat. Did I mention yet that it was wonderful? It's a 100% gluten free facility. Just a celiac's dream come true. Arepas are delicious grilled patties made with corn meal flour. I have enjoyed arepas before while in Miami and just absolutely love them! And the fact that they ...

Cheeseburger Bobbys
Alright now!!!! Can't you just tell my looking at this picture Cheeseburger Bobbys is a super delicious place to eat? A gluten free paradise for when you are having that cheeseburger hankering with french fries! Dedicated fryer for fries. This cheeseburger is loaded with cheese, bacon, Sweet Baby Rays BBQ sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and onion. The bun is even so good! I had to bring my tray back and ask "This bun is gluten free, right?" just because it looked so 'normal'. The entire burger ...

The 5 Spot Cafe – Lawrenceville GA
The 5 Spot Cafe in Lawrenceville Georgia is absolutely one of my favorite gluten free restaurants to visit.

Scott brought me a sample of his homemade ...
IKE & JANE CAFE AND BAKERY – Athens GA
Ike & Jane Cafe and Bakery in Athens Georgia was a fun find! Ike & Jane's always have gluten free options to choose from each day. When I popped in with Kate, they had an overabundance of gluten filled doughnuts that people were standing in line for! Couldn't have those, but they sure looked fabulous! In one display case, there were a couple of gluten free goodies. The Gluten Free Gooey Bar as well as the Gluten Free Peanut Butter Brownie were calling out my name. You know how I have ...
Taqueria La Parrilla – Athens GA
Holy Cow this was so yummy!! Taqueria La Parrilla was such a find for me yesterday in Athens Georgia. I was visiting Kate at the University of Georgia for the afternoon and we wanted to have lunch together. Kate has been to this Mexican restaurant before and noticed on the menu they stated "Rice and Beans are 100% gluten free and vegan"! So we thought it was worth a try for me to go next time I was in town. Our server Cecilia was so patient with my questions and knowledgeable about gluten and ...
