“The Classic” grass-fed cheese burger w/ bacon & grilled onions
Every few months I crave a delicious, juicy burger, and I’m definitely NOT purchasing it through a drive thru window. I came across Burger Lounge in Las Vegas many years ago, prior to eating gluten-free, and am a happy repeat customer. Their gluten-free buns are an added bonus. I appreciate their “uncomplicated, tastefully-sourced approach” in keeping their burgers taste so good!

Bring on the samples! A stroll around the GF&AF Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo is comparable to the excitement people enjoy walking around Costco, taste-testing their way through the aisles, and more importantly, trying before you’re buying. With so many gluten-free foods on the market now, it’s expensive ‘trying’ a new brand for the $7-$10, only to toss it out after the first bite because it doesn’t meet your taste buds in the delicious zone.
San Diego’s Del Mar Fairgrounds held the 2018 Gluten Free & Allergen Friendly Expo February 10 & 11 this year. Sharing my top 15 “Opa’s!” with you, in no particular order… products that wow’d me, and will be added to my “go to’s” on future shopping trips. A YouTube video of my photo story link is shown at the bottom of this post. Enjoy!

Tender Greens Backyard Marinated Steak Plate w/ mashed potatoes & a baby spinach salad
Tender Greens was born via one great idea from “two chefs and a foodie”. Now, it’s a restaurant whose goal is to change the way people eat for the better. Their menu is vast with something for every appetite, filled with tasty gluten-free options. You’d think I would try something other than this Backyard Marinated Steak Plate, then, right?!? ;o)

Smothered chicken is a simple, tasty dish I found years ago in Justin Wilson’s Homegrown Louisiana Cookin’ Cookbook. I made a few amends to ensure it’s completely gluten-free, and serve this as a meal with veggies and rice to many friends and family. Now I’ll be eating it at their homes too!

Lobster, steak, & potato cravings? Near the Speedway in Kansas City, KS is a steakhouse known for their “expertly grilled steaks… thirst-quenching Margaritas, and specialty drinks”. Longhorn Steakhouse serves more than steaks and drinks… the Longhorn Salmon is one of my fav’s, along with their grilled chicken lunch specials.

Beef brisket is one of my fav “fix it and forget it” meals, easily cooking in the crock pot while you’re out. Walking in the door five hours later, most of your meal is prepped and you’ll be ready to eat within a half hour.
This easy beef brisket recipe is by nature gluten-free, and sourced from the internet many moons ago, adding a little here, subtracting a little there. Such a fantastic taste, it’s an easy meal to create, and easy to enjoy leftovers the next day.
