With our life now drastically changed thanks to the gluten free modification to Mr. Cheerful's diet, we have mostly been eating at home which tends to be a much easier environment to control. That said... it is also fun to go out sometimes. We'd heard that Pizza Luce had a vast selection of gluten free options. Since Pizza Luce is a must when traveling to Duluth, we decided to check it out locally in St. Paul to see how they did. All I can say is WOW! They are now one of my favorites as an ingredient friendly place to eat as well! They have gluten free options in both the pasta and the pizza and when I needed to check on Annatto - they had a 3 ring binder with ingredients for all the components in the meal selection printed up. It was fabulous! Mr. Cheerful got a gluten-free pasta dish with an annatto-free roll that he absolutely loved.
Another favorite, and since we were in the neighborhood (sort of - 10-15 minutes away is still the same neighborhood, right?), we had to stop at our favorite local ice cream place. From the beginning of finding out about the annatto allergy, Izzy's has been incredibly helpful with ingredients - including a call from the owner to talk through with me what he would or wouldn't do (they do some ice creams with other local products incorporated in - and that was his don't... as he can't guarantee me their ingredients). To our excitement, Mr. Cheerful did not have to get his ice cream in a cup, as I'd pre-warned him was going to have to happen because... as well as being incredibly helpful regarding ingredients - they have gluten free cones! Woot Woot! Gotta love my Izzy's!
