My breakfasts tend to get into little ruts. I've previously experienced the "two piece of rice toast" rut, the "Chex cereal" rut and am currently in the "half a cup of oatmeal with Cinnamon" rut. Don't get me wrong, I kind of love my oatmeal rut - some little part of my brain applauds me each morning as I eat the most boring, but somewhat good for me breakfast.
The other day I swung by Jubilee Kafe (on South Street, just east of Wellington). If you don't go to Jubilee, you're missing out. They've been around for at least 15 years (I would guess). They're family run, tons of them are celiac and they know how to bake. Separate blog about them at a later date.
Back to my story.... The other day I swung by Jubilee Kafe on my lunch to grab something to eat. I opened the freezer and little angels sung to me. Not really, but I felt like they should. They had Udi's! They are a company based out of Denver that I had the joy of experiencing a few years ago when I was in Denver (I should blog about Denver - greatest GF experiences of my LIFE!). They're food is amazing.
I threw the bagels in my fridge when I got home (I'm not a fan of freezing... nothing screams un-appetizing like frozen hard food in the morning) and have slowly been enjoying them over the week. These things are good. They're a decent size and fluffy and not super heavy like other GF products.
If you're craving a good bagel experience these are the ones for you!
I am not affiliated with Jubilee Kafe or Udi's. I just like them both.

Cheap snacks - insanity!
Quick FYI: There's a new grocery store at the corner of Trafalger & Highbury called "Fresh Co." (click here for the website) that I heard had GF food at it (also, when I just went to their website, there's apparently one at Commissioners and Wellington that I have not been to).
There's a smallish section near the back corner of the store that's labelled GF (always a nice little bonus). While they didn't have anything I hadn't seen before, the had the large bag of Glutino pretzals for $5.99!! Those things range from $8-$10 in other stores! Excitement!
I have no affilliation with Fresh Co. The price was the price I paid when I was there, I can make no guarentees about what your experience will be like!

A breakfast place - finally!
Doesn't it seem like everyone has a breakfast place they go to? You know, the spot that when they wake up on Saturday or Sunday, have nothing to do and don't feel like eating cereal that they head to.
I do not have one of these places.
Unless you included McDonald's (sausage and egg McMuffin meal, without the McMuffin).
On Saturday morning, my husband and I woke up and headed out for a run (don't worry, we're not runners - we are not those type of people). Afterwards I was craving bacon and eggs and some really delicious home fries. At the suggestion of my husband, we headed to The Riverdale (on Springbank between Wharncliffe & Wonderland).
When we arrived we grabbed a both and started looking over the menu. I saw some food come out for other people and said "Those home fries do not look gluten free" and I was feeling slightly depressed as I really wanted some damn home fries! The waitress arrived and I explained that I couldn't have any wheat or flour and were the home fries okay. She went off to check (always nicer than having them guess at the answer) and I could listen in as she asked different people.
The first person she asked said "I'm not sure. I know the fries are gluten free but I don't know about the home fries". This made me feel rather happy as I hadn't actually said "gluten free" and made me feel much more 'safe'. Long story short, they were gluten free! And they were delicious!
Had had bacon and eggs and home fries - mmmmm. And I think they may have given me a couple extra strips of bacon since I wasn't getting toast - extra bonus!
I think I found my breakfast place!!
I have NO affilliation with The Riverdale restaurant. I can make no promises about their food being gluten free when you're there, this is just my experience. Please remember to always let your wait staff know that you're GF and check the food yourself!!!
