Everything POP Dinner - Disney's Pop Century Resort

Last night, my daughters and I had dinner at Everything POP Shopping & Dining at Disney's Pop Century Resort. 


Everything POP is one of our favorite quick service restaurants for breakfast at Disney, because they make amazing gluten free waffles, but this was our first time dining there for dinner.

Everything POP Gluten/Wheat Allergy-Friendly Lunch/Dinner Menu - Disney's Pop Century Resort

Earlier this summer, my daughters and I had breakfast at Everything POP Shopping & Dining, which is one of our favorite quick service restaurants at Disney World for gluten free waffles.  While there, I took pictures of their allergy-friendly breakfast menus, which you can view here.

The Artist's Palette - Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort

This morning, I had breakfast at The Artist's Palette, a quick service restaurant at Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort.


The inspiration for Disney's Saratoga Springs Resort & Spa, located in the Downtown Disney area, was New York's Saratoga Springs, a late 1800's retreat famous for its spas and horse racing.

Grand Floridian Cafe Lunch - Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa

Yesterday, we had lunch at the Grand Floridian Cafe at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort & Spa.  


The Grand Floridian Cafe, a table service restaurant, serves American classics for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  I have had amazing meals at The Grand Floridian Cafe for breakfast and dinner, so I was excited to dine there for lunch, and see their new allergy-friendly menus, which list options for people with gluten/wheat, milk, egg, soy, fish/shellfish, and peanut/tree nut allergies.

The Bistro on Park Avenue - Winter Park

Last night, we had dinner at The Bistro on Park Avenue in Winter Park.  I was excited to try it after reading my friend Amanda's glowing review on her blog Eating Out Without.  


The Bistro on Park Avenue can be a bit hard to find, though there was signage on Park Avenue pointing guests back to the Hidden Garden where it is located.

Maeda-en Mochi Ice Cream Bonbons

A couple of weeks ago, my husband discovered Maeda-en Mochi Ice Cream Bonbons while shopping at one of our local Asian markets on Colonial Drive.  


I love mochi and I love ice cream, so I was really excited to try the mochi ice cream bonbons, which are labeled gluten free.  Mochi, a Japanese-style dough made of pounded rice, is wrapped around the ice cream to form the bonbons.

Spice Road Table - Epcot

Last Saturday, we had lunch at Spice Road Table, a table service restaurant in the Morocco Pavilion at Epcot.  


Whether you sit inside or outside, you will have great views of the World Showcase Lagoon.  When Spice Road Table first opened last year, it served Mediterranean small plates, but now they also offer specialty entrees.  Other changes from when we first dined there are that you can now make advance dining reservations, and they offer a discount to Tables in Wonderland card holders.

Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe - Downtown Disney

Update - Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe is scheduled to close on August 1, 2017.  It looks like they will be getting a new location in the Town Center area of Disney Springs.  

Yesterday, we had dinner at Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe in Downtown Disney for the first time in about 6 or 7 years.  During my family's annual trips to Disney, before we moved to Orlando, we used to frequently dine at Wolfgang Puck Grand Cafe or Wolfgang Puck Express.

IKEA Gluten Free Cakes

A couple of weeks ago, I found out that IKEA sells gluten free cakes, so I headed there this week to check them out.


The Orlando IKEA, which is next to The Mall at Millenia, has three different varieties of gluten free cake, which are all priced at $5.99.  The only one I didn't buy was the almond cake with milk chocolate and butterscotch, because I don't always love butterscotch, but after one of my blog readers described it as "AWESOME" on my Facebook page, I decided that I need to take another trip to IKEA soon.

Raw Cashew Butter

Some of my favorite healthy lunches are apple slices with sharp cheddar cheese or Kerrygold Dubliner, and cashew butter with apples or bananas.


For a while, I was buying cashew butter from Whole Foods, but their cashew butter grinder broke, so I decided to make my own in my NutriBullet.
