Risotteria Restaurant NYC
Risotteria A little piece of gluten free heaven found in NYC!!!
I did a little bit of research before going on my trip to NYC and came across this place and said to myself...I have to go there. The menu looked really good and I have to say it was better than I expected. Its a tiny little place on Bleecker Street in the Village.
Bryan and I went and there was about a 30 minute wait (but I think it was a bit less), when you get seated they come over with a cup of bread sticks. These were the best bread sticks I've ever had. Better than even the Olive Garden ones. (You can buy the mix for these bread sticks and a bunch of other gluten free goodies - there is no form online however, you can call them for a phone order). So after drooling over the menu we both ended up getting panini's his a regular one and mine a gluten free (The menu consists of Pizza, Panini's, Salad, Risotto's, and Pasta all of which come in regular or GF, you can also get many of the options Vegetarian and Dairy Free!) The serve a selection of GF beers, wine etc.
The service was great, the employees were very friendly and helpful. The food was amazing. It was cute, and little and flat out one of the best parts of my trip. Can't wait to go back again.
I still can't stop thinking about this place. I brought home a bag of the bread stick (and pizza crust) mix and plan on making them this weekend. So if you are ever in NYC and looking for a great little GF place this is it!! They are open from noon -11 7 days a week. http://www.risotteria.com/
(Thanks to Bryan for being such a great sport and trying new things with me!)

From the National Foundation for Celiac Awareness May 2009 Newsletter
Chex Will Debut 5 More Gluten-Free Cereals This Summer This summer, Chex will offer five more gluten-free cereals! Gluten-free Rice Chex became available in 2008, but now gluten-free Corn Chex, Honey Nut Chex, Chocolate Chex, Cinnamon Chex and Strawberry Chex are beginning to appear on grocery store shelves. By early summer they will be widely available across the country, offering the same great taste as before! As this integration slowly occurs, it is very important for consumers to find “Gluten-Free” on the Chex cereal package. Gluten-Free boxes may be mixed in with older, gluten-containing boxes until they are fully replaced. The label “Gluten-Free” will appear near the ingredient declaration on package side panels and may also appear on the front panel, so be sure to find it before you purchase. Also, be sure to remember that Wheat Chex and Multi-Bran Chex have not been made gluten-free. Consumer insight and requests provoked the reformulation of Rice Chex back in 2008. The response was so incredibly positive that the company was excited to get to work on bringing even more gluten-free varieties to store shelves. Along with removing the gluten from their products, the company is also very aware of the dangers of cross contamination and takes steps to prevent it. Each gluten-free formula they create is tested against the FDA’s proposed regulations. Chex Marketing Manager, Adrienne Daniels, said “For the first time, people looking for a tasty, gluten-free cereal can shop the main cereal aisle at their market without paying a premium. Now, Chex brings even more gluten-free varieties to the breakfast table. And, to round out the offering, we’re introducing a wide range of gluten-free recipes at www.Chex.com/glutenfree.” Be sure to check it out! Can’t wait till the summer so I can stock my cabinets with boxes of delicious, affordable gluten-free cereal. Thanks, Chex!

Props to Starbucks
Props to Starbucks...for offering a gluten free option. Starting May 5th Starbucks started to offer a gluten free pastry to all of us Celiac people. They have a Valencia Orange Cake, and they are delicious! However, if you are allergic to nuts, I'm sorry...they have slivered almonds on top. Look for them at your local Starbucks!
