EATING IN Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill
MAGGIANO'S LITTLE ITALY:
Italian. Make sure you have reservations. Ryan and I ate at the one in Atlanta but couldn't eat there in Raleigh-Durham because they were so packed.
They have gluten free pasta.
I think it was the CLASSIC PASTAS... but it was a deal because if you ordered one of them, you were able to choose another CLASSIC PASTA to take home with you... so Ryan and I had pasta that night and didn't even finish it and then had an entire meal plus leftovers for the following day. Pretty neat.
CARMINE'S:
Yummy gluten free pasta but silly that they charge you $4 more for the gluten free pasta.
----------
Whole Foods & Trader Joe's
...are 2 amazing grocery stores that they have in the area... they're amazing! "Word on the street" is that good ol' Wilmington is getting a Whole Foods where the grocery store was to the left of Independence Mall on Oleander. Awesome! I also heard maybe Trader Joe's but I almost feel like that's too good to be true! We shall see! I pray we get both!
We went to both and I was in awe! We stocked up on a lot of stuff to bring home and to also eat while we were out of town, instead of eating out for all of our meals.

"Believe me I was once there so I know it is hard to believe, but I don't give a damn how many times McDonalds, Wendy's, Jack n the box, Pizza Hut, Dominoes, Papa John's, Waffle House, Burger King use the word "HEALTHY" in their ads... They are all the grim reaper wrapped up in a shiny effin* clown suit." - John Lewis(*for the youngins)
...and another goodie from John...
"I have clients that want to go into a workout routine wondering when they can have a cheat day... I tell them "Why don't we focus on cheating death first?"
hmmm...yum!
HOMEMADE GATORADE:
2 quarts filtered water, 1/2 cup Orange juice, 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 tsp salt
Mix all the ingredients together and serve chilled.
GREEN EGGS/Z:
If you do eat eggs... or want to make "eggz" with tofu and make GREEN EGGS!

BRILLIANT SOURCE FOR...
GLUTEN FREE AND VEGAN
RAW FOODS... I can't believe this lady is 70!!
Thought this was pretty interesting...
We too often "give up" and don't push ourselves to our full potential.
This is not a scam by the way....

VEGAN/GLUTEN FREE
It's not very common to find someone that is
VEGAN AAAAAAND GLUTEN FREE (AKA VEGIAC)
but I live to make life interesting hehe... oh but the point of making
that statement (I am SO ADHD)... is that I found a good website for Vegiacs.
hahaha this is freaking cute.
I goodie that Lauren Horne found on Textsfromlastnight.
"(516): There are going to be so many Snookis this Halloween that I might
just dress as the guy that hit her and punch them all in the face"

"An estimated 800 million pairs of jeans are sold worldwide each year."-Whole Living Magazine
WOW! I love a pair of jeans... but yikes! Just last week I got a "new" pair of designer jeans from Hallelu (on Wrightsville Beach, beside WINGS) for like $45 opposed to the like $200 that they normally cost. They were basically brand new... and actually fit perfect. I am going to have to get all new jeans this year :( and :) ... I put a sad face because money, but happy face because the reason I have to get new ones is because all of mine are huge on me now.
...FERNS... are masters at clearing indoor air...? Who knew! It's the most effective air-purifying species... Whole Living Magazine says to put one (or many) in a bathroom with a window and let the steam from the shower act as a virtual greenhouse. (hmmmm that is pretty neat)
STRESS
Greenery reduces stress. Studies show the presence of plants significantly eases the recovery of hospital patients & lowers the blood pressure of office workers.
I can't wait until (I think) March when my lease is up at my apartment and I can move into a house with (hopefully) Kailee... I can't wait to paint a wall with that chalkboard paint. I think it is SO neat. I also think it would be cool to have like a "corkboard" wall, so we could put up pretty pictures, recipes, random pictures up and like make a collage...When I "grow-up" aka get married and settle down, I plan ;) to have an office where I can have one wall with the chalkboard paint (for myself) or my kids to play on, a corkboard wall... and yeah I'll stop with my daydreaming... :)
Do you have migraines/headaches?I've suffered from migraines my entire life... yes, even as a child... and completely think that my change in my diet, without a doubt helped me out... especially the dairy/cheese.
Beautiful skin...Karyn Calabrese, a holistic health expert said "I use coconut oil for everything, without fail. It works as a makeup remover and as an intensive moisturizer. Jojoba Oil is even lighter and keeps oil skin in balance." It's absorbed into the skin instead of sitting on top of the surface, blocking pores and causing breakouts unlike mineral oils.
(I loved hearing this because I myself use coconut oil for ABSOLUTELY everything. Cooking, makeup remover, lotion, EVERYTHING... seriously. There is a glass jar of it right this second in my purse... you can get it at Tidal Creek & Fresh Market in the big containers... not positive about the other places. I'll have to go and get some Jojoba Oil to try out.

When I first became vegan... I ate THIS (click on this) seriously almost every night for dinner... and would put it with a vegetable (broc or green beans usually) and a cup of brown rice.
It's not gluten free, so I don't eat it anymore...

Gluten free info for a friend :)
You can't eat:
Wheat in all forms including spelt, kamut, triticale (a combination of wheat and rye), durum, einkorn, farina, semolina, cake flour, matzo (or matzah) and couscous. |
Ingredients with "wheat" in the name including wheat starch, modified wheat starch, hydrolyzed wheat protein and pregelatinized wheat protein. Buckwheat, which is gluten free, is an exception. |
Barley malt, which is usually made from barley, and malt syrup, malt extract, malt flavoring and malt vinegar. |
Breaded or floured meat, poultry, seafood and vegetables. Also meat, poultry and vegetables when they have a sauce or marinade that contains gluten, such as soy and teriyaki sauces. |
Licorice, imitation crab meat, beer, most is fermented from barley. (Specialty gluten-free beer is available from several companies.) |
You can eat:
Foods made from grains (and grain-like plants) that do notcontain harmful gluten, including: Corn in all forms (corn flour, corn meal, grits,etc.). Rice in all forms (white, brown, basmati and enriched rice). Also amaranth, buckwheat (kasha), Montina, millet, quinoa, teff, sorghum and soy.
| The following ingredients: |
Annatto, glucose syrup, lecithin, maltodextrin (even when it is made from wheat), oat gum, plain spices, silicon dioxide, starch, food starch and vinegar (only malt vinegar might contain gluten). Also citric, lactic and malic acids as well as sucrose, dextrose and lactose; and these baking products: arrowroot, cornstarch, guar and xanthan gums, tapioca four or starch, potato starch flour and potato starch, vanilla. |
| The following foods: |
Milk, butter, margarine, real cheese, plain yogurt and vegetable oils including canola. Plain fruits, vegetables, (fresh, frozen and canned), meat, seafood, eggs, nuts, beans and legumes and flours made from them. |
| Distilled vinegar is gluten free. (See malt vinegar under NO below). |
Distilled alcoholic beverages are gluten free because distillation effectively removes gluten from wheat. They are not gluten free if gluten-containing ingredients are added after distillation, but this rarely, if ever, happens. |
| Mono and diglycerides are fats and are gluten free. |
Spices are gluten free. If there is no ingredient list on the container, it contains only the pure spice noted on the label. |
Actually! Honestly... gluten free is super easy.
A lot of restaurants have a whole separate menu
just for gluten free customers.
Grocery Store wise... there are TONS of gluten free things!
If you live in Wilmington, two good places to check out are
Lovey's (Landfall Shopping Center)
and Tidal Creek (on Oleander across from Jungle Rapids)
Okay, so it's not that expensive...
if you think about it in terms of... OMG there's so much I can't eat!
You're setting yourself up for failure. But the easiest way to start...
eat more fruits and veggies... REAL food. And then you don't have
to really stress/worry over it.
For pasta if you go to Harris Teeter,
in their pasta section they have a selection of just gluten free pastas...
The brand that I usually get is 'De Boles' and usually the multi-grain
rather than the rice kind, I feel like it's more like... "pasta texture".
Quinoa is good... they actually make pasta too out of it.
If you look on the back of alot of packages they have GF on them,
it's becoming alot more popular, so it's getting much easier.
In Walmart (hell on Earth) they have a gluten free section.
Brown Rice is always a goodie. I eat it like..... nonstop.
"Amy's" the organic brand, has alot of things in the frozen section,
like frozen pizzas and "microwave dinners"
"Van's natural foods" has frozen waffles and frozen french toast sticks.
CORN flour tortillas. Corn tortilla chips.
Annie's & Organicville have some yummy salad dressings
(My favorite is Annie's roasted red pepper dressing.)
It'll be tough in the beginning but it'll be like singing your ABCs in no time.
SO many people have Blogs (like me) about their diet, ideas, etc...
These are GREAT tools to see what other people are doing
and also give you some confidence to branch out!! :)
Just go to google and type "Gluten Free + _______"
and you'll find your answer.
Vegan & Gluten Free Mac & Chz & Apple Crumble
Thanks to Happy Herbivore I made vegan & gluten free Mac & Cheeeze :)
Her recipe is found here: Mac & Chz
I used gluten free penne to make it gluten free.
I put diced tomatoes with mine...
because I don't know how to eat anything just by itself
Apple Crumble
Slices apples... 1/2 unsweetened organic applesauce, gluten free oats,
agave nectar, lots of cinnamon... hmmm I think that's it.
I baked it at 350 degrees for 40 minutes.
I put it on top of almond ice cream for Ryan.
I tasted it but was too full to actually eat because of the mac & chz.
He said it was amazing. :)
