Where in Michigan are you planning on visiting?

I don't believe it!!? We had a little ice storm and school was cancelled. I spoke to different people on the phone that said the roads were fine. So does someone want to explain to me why 4 boys are ice skating up and down the street?

Well, I live in Michigan and have some information for you. I'm not sure where you plan to vacation, but the places I'd recommend are PF Changs (3 locations in Michigan), Outback Steakhouse, Carrabbas, and Fuddruckers. If you are traveling in the Lansing (Capitol) area, there is a great Lebanese restaurant called Sahara's that I go to and they are very careful about making sure my order is gluten-free. Hope this helps.

Where are you going in Michigan? If you're going "up north" or to Lake Michigan you can find lots of cottages to rent with a kitchen.

I'm in Ann Arbor. We have an Outback, Seva and I've had luck at a breakfast/lunch place called Cafe Marie. We also have a great Whole Foods, Hillers, Trader Joes and even our mainstream grocery stores have some products.

If you're in the Detroit Metro area, find Celiac Specialties. They are a 100% dedicated gluten-free bakery - going in there is like being a kid in the candy store. (They also ship items.) There's also a new store that's all gluten-free w/ pre-made items as well. I don't remember the name, but I saw it in an earlier posting on this site.

Have fun!

Celiac Specialties is at 23 Mile Road and Jefferson, in Chesterfield Township. They are now selling their products at several gluten free stores. There is a gluten free store in Livonia, and I can't remember the name. (Sorry to the store owners, I've met you and you are wonderful people, but I just can't remember the name of your store.)

Bel Cibo is in Clawson at 14 Mile and Main. Very close to I-75 and Oakland Mall.

Frankenmuth is supposed to have a gluten free bakery at Bavarian Inn. I asked my mother-in-law to check and she couldn't find it.

Canterbury Village has some gluten free baked goods That is also close to I-75 further north by Auburn Hills.

Thanks everyone for these wonderful suggestions. We are planning to go to Mackinac City and Island, Visit the Soo Locks, and Sleeping Bear Dunes National Park and maybe Luddington for Dune Rides. I wonder about fudge on Mackinac Island. Any ideas?
