I've been having a wonderful time working on a project that I hope to share with you in the near future. Part of the experience will cause me to spend a great deal of time on this beautiful farm. Here's a photo of one many wheatgrass pods growing on said farm.
Wheatgrass is small, but mighty. Here's a list of some benefits that come from incorporating wheatgrass into your daily nutrition regime:
What has your experience been with wheatgrass? Have you ever grown your own pod? I typically juice my wheatgrass, take it as a shot with a slice of orange as a chaser.
It's that time of year again. I am making preparations for our annual summer road trip out to see some relatives in the Pittsburgh burbs, and as usual I am looking for new "safe" restaurants for our young peanut allergic family to try. I feel like a Food Allergy Veteran at this point. We bring a box full of "safe" foods, picnic frequently, and always grab a couple Ian's frozen allergen-free meals once we get to our destination. That makes meals with the relatives so much easier!
I know there are the chain restaurants with their allergen-free menus and I know we can eat and have eaten at certain fast food joints. I hear Cici's is a peanut-safe pizza place and there are a few on the way to Pittsburgh. It would be a great to try a new place that is making an effort to be food allergy friendly, and preferably not one of those chains! Allergen-free menus are great, and while I appreciate the awareness from all those chain HQs, let's face it, sometimes the local restaurant staff still don't "get it", despite the allergen-free menus and best efforts of the HQ staff.
So if you've got a tip for a restaurant worth a try let me know. Email me at jenniferATfoodallergybuzz.com. I will write about our experience so it's a chance for some good publicity (or not-so-good publicity). We'll be in the Greensburg vicinity outside of Pittsburgh but may head into Pittsburgh as well.
If you're in the greater Pittsburgh area, I'd try Mad Mex. There are several. They are fantastic with food allergies, especially the one in Cranberry Township.
Chipotle is another option. That is more fast food type mexican. You can ask to see an allergen card. You will want to double check but if I recall correctly, I dont think they have any peanuts or tree nuts on the premise.
Have a nice trip! If you're going to be around in late August, let me know. Maybe you could stop by one of our local meetings!
Thank you for your e-mail regarding the allergens in our children’s menu. I have listed below all of the selections on the children’s menu and the top eight related allergens.
Also note that we fry only in Canola oil but are fryers are dual use. That means that it is possible that fish and shellfish can be cook in the same fryer as our fries.
A commercial kitchen operates at a very fast pace. I strongly recommend that you bring you allergy concerns to the attention of the manager so that special attention to your order is assured.
Thanks again for your email. I hope I have been helpful. Please feel free to contact me if I may be of additional service
Thanks, Elizabeth! This is exciting--2 new restaurant tips. Will there be more? I am anxious to see what we come up with! :)
Good luck with your trip! I'm curious to see what eating spots readers suggest. This is always the tricky party of traveling with food allergies.
Not sure if you made your trip yet or not but there are a couple Red Robin restaurants in the area and they are very good about allergies. you can e-mail their corporate office for the menu and then tell the server when you get there. My son is GF/CF and we also stop at the couple chick-fil-a restaurants in the Pgh/Greensburg area.
Am too old to be a party animal but then again, never was one in my younger years. 12 hours of party is definitely no joke. A haven to some.
