Recipe and Product Review: My spin on Cook Simple’s Tibetan Dal
There aren’t many mass market brands that carry complete meals that are certified gluten free and vegan, but Cook Simple comes pretty close.

Dining Out Tip: Research, Research, Research
Before I eat at any new restaurant, I do my homework. That means researching the menu, reviews, photos and, most importantly, calling the restaurant to ensure that they can safely prepare a gluten-free and vegan meal.
