Restaurant Review - Falafel Place

I have been meaning to do a review for this place. We actually live pretty close to where this little place is – it’s a pretty central location which is nice. The food is absolutely delicious and worth the price!

Colin ordered their breakfast with falafels, and also a gluten free waffle. This place is awesome, the staff are friendly and chipper – and they offer gluten free options on the menu. This will definitely be our ONLY breakfast place we go to.The price is awesome, you can get a huge breakfast here for like $10.

Heres some pictures of Colin's amazing gluten free breakfast. 

The one and only complaint I would have is that the place is pretty small, and extremely popular, so it can become quite cramped and loud. Besides that, the food is well worth it, what a great experience. If you are in the Winnipeg area come here to eat even if you don’t have to eat gluten free! Mmmm… We are wanting to go back and try something from their lunch/supper menu.

Eating Healthy with Gluten Restrictions

Good afternoon all, just because you are eating gluten free does not mean that you can eat any gluten free thing on the shelf to your heart’s content! (meaning, there is still a lot of carbs in all those things you buy). Balance is key to any successful and healthy diet. We eat gluten free in my house for my husband of course, but I always try to incorporate plenty of fresh fruits & veggies, allowed grains, and good protein. I am always bugging Colin to eat more fruit, but you can't blame him, why have only an apple when you have a wife to make you a yummy gf apple crisp ;-)

Heres a meal idea for you:

Supper last night (sorry, no picture available) – Eggplant/Zucchini parmesan.

Super simple, I layered mounds of eggplant and zucchini together, with glutenfree spaghetti sauce, and a moderate amount of cheese in between layers. I topped it off with some epicure seasoning with s&p. I used maybeeee 60 grams of cheese in the whole thing – which is not bad at all!

I decided not to bread anything with glutenfree bread crumbs, making it lower in calories and carbs, it tasted just as good.

Healthy, meatless, gluten free supper.

Losing weight is made easier by eating healthy and exercising on a regular basis, but it still requires hard work and dedication. Some days are easier than others, but keep on truckin’.

I'm out all, cya later!

MTC - Modern Taco Company - Review

            Okay, let me first off say that we heard about this place only a short while ago and we have already gone a couple of times, tonight we will be eating supper there – SUPER EXCITED.  A friend of ours had told us about this little place because of Colin’s gluten allergy, we were extremely impressed to know the WHOLE menu was gluten free.

The experience of this place was great, it is a wonderful place to sit and enjoy some tasty gourmet tacos with friends – prepared to get a little messy though, it is worth it all though.

I’m not a big fan of fish so I tried some of the meat/veggie tacos and opted not to try the fish ones. Colin’s favorite taco is actually the Pescada fish taco. I would have to say my favorite is probably the Dulce y picante (pulled maple chipotle pork, pickled red onions and avocado crema) SOOO GOOD, with the Carne Molida in a close second (Lean ground beef, mixed cheese, pico de gallo, chipotle crema)

If I had any complaint about this place at all, it would be that the restaurant itself is a bit small, so you can feel a bit cramped.

Good times, Good friends and GOOD FOOD.
