My Top Recommended Recipes of The Week #1 - Gluten Free, Vegan, Paleo, Allergy Friendly & More
Hey there! Welcome to the very first recipe round up for gluten-free, vegan, paleo, nut free, and more! Each week I'll be composing a list of the best and newest recipes in each category. I've always loved supporting my blogger friends by sharing their recipes so these posts will be great to share with you every week!
On top of that, I'll also be including videos on a fun topic in each post. What will these videos be about, you ask? Well, each week I'll be trying a new gluten-free or vegan product to share my HONEST opinion on how it tastes. None of the videos will include paid reviews. None of the videos will include untruthful comments on products that actually taste bad. Nope. I'll be giving you my real and honest opinion on the gluten-free and vegan products that you want me to try on camera. Should be fun!
If you're interested to see what I'm up to...scroll on down to the bottom see how my week went. 😉 In the meantime, enjoy the recipes for gluten-free, vegan, nut free, paleo, allergy free, and sugar free!

Weekly update! What's new in Taylor's life?
Here's a little look into what's new with me this week!
Book I'm reading: The Conversion Code - by Chris Smith
Favorite show I'm watching: Crashing (it's on HBO)
Favorite song right now: Black Mambo - by ZABA
Worst moment this week: I cut my finger really bad while cutting lettuce. (first time I've cut myself, ever!)
Best moment this week: I made my own gluten-free and dairy free cookies & cream milk shake this weekend! Oh god it was amazing since milkshakes are the food I miss the most since going dairy free. (Food is often involved in my favorite moment...surprise surprise.)
Where I ate out this week: KAZE in Cincinnati, OH with my girlfriend!
How do you handle these situations?
So I attended a party while watching the Super Bowl which is always interesting when you have food allergies. I literally brought my own frozen meal, my own chips, my own drinks, and a few bars just in case I had nothing to eat. Lol really that's how I showed up to a party! But everyone was very nice and didn't mind at all. I've come to act confident with my own my food allergies + health issues and talk about it with confidence to anyone that asks. It's been interesting to learn how to socialize in these situations as a young college aged guy. I'm learning that being prepared and confident in every situation is what works out best although it's tough, nonetheless. Bringing my own food to get-togethers is often what I do. So...what do you do when attending a party or get-together with food allergies? Interested to know!
