Posted by glutenfree4hfx in Links on September 30, 2011
There will soon be a new poutine place in town! Smokes’s Poutinerie will soon be open at 5236 Blowers Street (by Pizza Corner). We asked about their gluten-free options and we got a quick, friendly reply.
Finding Processed Meats That Aren’t So Processed
Posted by glutenfree4hfx in General Information, Links on September 25, 2011
One of the first things that I eliminated from my diet when I was diagnosed with Celiac disease was sandwich meats. Processed meats are so full of fillers, most of which contain gluten. However, there are gluten-free options out there!
First, don’t even think about getting the meat from the deli counter. They handle way too many different kinds of meat to ensure you’re getting a gluten-free product. Stick with a packaged option.

Earlier this year, I posted a review about MIX Fresh Kitchen. I’m sorry to say that it’s closed its doors! Local weekly The Coast has more information here.
New Staple in My Freezer!
Posted by glutenfree4hfx in Links, Reviews on September 17, 2011
A friend of mine brought me some Kinnikinnick donuts last night. They need to be kept frozen and can then be microwaved for 10-20 seconds. Frankly, I was skeptical of how they would taste but I figured I would give it a try. (After all, their pizza crusts are a staple in our house – and I am pretty sure that Boston Pizza uses them also!)
Am I ever glad I did!

Had a Great Time at Bâton Rouge… But We’re Not Sure Why!
Posted by glutenfree4hfx in Reviews on September 5, 2011
I ate at Bâton Rouge several years ago (pre-Celiac) and thoroughly enjoyed it, so I was very excited when they announced that they were coming to Halifax. Mike and I waited a few weeks after their opening to try the Halifax location out.

My cousin brought me some gluten-free muffins the other day from the new Rose & Rooster bakery. They appeared to be chocolate chip, perhaps with quinoa? They were delicious!!! I am going to have to head back down to Seaforth to get me some more. Check out their Facebook page for more info!
