Day 3: 30 Days of Gluten Free

Today we ventured out into the world, we went to the Zoo and out to dinner for Valentines Day. We have heard its hard to be gluten free when you are eating out, but with a little planning it was a breeze. One of our favorite restaurants has gluten free items listed right on the regular menu, something we never noticed before, but alas they were booked for Vday. So with a little looking we found several options with pretty decent gluten free menus. We have found with my food allergy restaurants that prepare more from scratch are very accommodating but restaurants that buy everything prepackaged are unable to accommodate dietary restrictions.

The Zoo was pretty easy too. We packed our lunch and had a great day. One thing we are trying to do is stay away from many of the specialty products for gluten free because they can be costly and we are trying to make our daily meals something most budgets can afford. Today we splurged and had sandwiches on gluten free bread. Sometimes it's nice just to grab a sandwich and go to the Zoo!
