I want a box of Zone Bars so bad! Almond Raisin, to be exact!

[BethJ]

Gorton's Fish Sticks! And thick pizza crust . . . just the crust, forget the stuff on top. And fresh-baked garlic knots with gobs of garlic, olive oil and parmesan cheese drowning them. And some Popeye's fried chicken. Also gravy biscuits, bagels, real egg noodles, Campbell's canned condensed soups . . . see, I'm not picky! Oh my, I guess just about anything I used to eat would be so welcome. *sigh*

Are you anywhere near a Five Guys restaurant? They only do fries in their fryers so those are safe, and you could bring your own bun and have them make you a bunless cheeseburger. In fact, now I'm wanting a burger and fries and a Five Guys trip is sounding like a good idea.

Yeah, but I'm craving a *real* one where I don't have to do any work

[mbrookes]

Oh, gee, I wish you hadn't said Popeye's chicken. Especially the spicy. Now I'm really craving. I'll have to see what I can do with a raw chicken, some gluten-free flour and Chechere's Cajun seasoning.

[heatherjane]

actually - today I'm craving nachos from QDoba

[summerteeth]

Baguette from this local baker just across the river from where I work with (real!) butter - preferably Kerrygold butter...

[burdee]

Absolutely nothing. Compared to my other 6 allergens, abstaining from gluten was a breeze. However, I like how all those restrictions simplify my choices and greatly improve the quality (healthwise) of my diet.

[Noni]

I would love to be able to eat anything I wanted and not

have any side effects!!!

Mainly PIZZA!!!![/

[Reba32]

most definitely, I would love a nice bottle of beer! That's about all I really miss. The gluten free beer here in Canada is just way too expensive

[SaraKat]

Just going out to a restaurant and not having to request a special diet need. Maybe a bowl of pasta, that sounds good about now.

[ravenwoodglass]

The only thing I really miss is phyllo wrapped around some apples, some baklava or spanikopita. Oh and these wonder meat and cinnamon pies I used to make with pita bread.

[sandiz]

Going to a restaurant and ordering a burger and beer...... I miss beer.

It's not chicken parm and Fettuccine Alfredo, but Olive Garden has a gluten free menu with gluten free pasta on it.

I'm so excited to know about Olive Garden's gluten-free menu!

Has anyone tried it out? I miss pasta the most! LOVE pasta!!!

[gfForLife]

hahah, thank you. I've heard the pasta is a microwaveable pre-made meal though and is NOT very tasty. When I first heard about it I was all excited but I'll pass because I can make that at home

Now, the herb grilled salmon with broccoli and peppers on the side is really good. That's what I get when we go. It's my new favorite

[notme]

a 'garbage' pizza (that's w/everything) from mario's in nj. lasagne!!! and a rueben sandwich on seedless rye. or pumpernickel.....

[Googles]

I want a cinnabon. With extra frosting. I also want wheat spaghetti and toasted french bread with butter that I can dip in the pasta sauce.

Good to know, thanks. I haven't tried the gluten-free pasta at Olive Garden, I just know they have it. I have had their mixed grill (chicken medallion with veggies and steamed broccoli) and it was okay but very bland. I really love their salad. I just wish they had a gluten-free soup, I would go for just soup and salad.

[bluebonnet]

gooey thick doughy pizza, chic fi la, soft doughy pretzel, cream filled donut and beer battered fried fish with a side of hush puppies!!!!

[Googles]

An elephant ear with cinnamon and sugar. Powdered donuts. old fashioned donuts.

[K8ling]

Is the salad ad Olive Garden gluten-free?

[i-geek]

Is the salad ad Olive Garden gluten-free?

Yes, if the croutons are left off. I've only eaten there once since going gluten-free- it wasn't ever my favorite restaurant pre-gluten-free- and quite frankly, it was the best meal I'd ever had at the Olive Garden (the Mixed Grill plate on the gluten-free menu was delicious). Our waiter was very attentive and careful and brought out a separate plate of croutons so that those who could eat them could put them on their own plates without me even asking him to do it.

[ksymonds84]

Like WheatChef I really miss the BIG doughy Pretzels especially when I'm at the Rockies game and seeing people eat them all around me (won't have to experience this anymore until next year since they are done).

French bread dipped into my yummy garlic oil. Udi's helps but not the same

My old gluteny home made pizza dough recipe. After many fails at trying to make it with gluten free flours I've given up and buy kinnicks or the local gluten-free bakery ones.
