Pizza - Amy's Cheese Pizza with a Rice Crust

On the continuing theme of pizza, one of my favorite foods I can't eat. I found Amy's pizza in the Wegmen's frozen food area.

It comes totally ready to eat once you throw it in the oven. Preparation requires a pre-heated oven of 425 and about 13 minutes of cooking time. You'll find it in the freezer at your grocery store.

The Results:
Excellent tasting, although the crust tasted as if it was made out of corn meal. The crust did not have a real pizza like consistency, it was much more similar to something made from rice.

Based on the complete ease I rate this as a great buy.

Baltimore Restaurant - Legal Seafoods

My wife and I dined at Legal Seafoods last night to celebrate a job change. LS has a great gluten-free menu which makes it easy for Celiacs to order.

Appetizers:
We shared an order of fried calamari for an appetizer. They were prepared in an egg wash with corn meal. I've never had real calamari so there is no comparison, but it tasted great. My wife said it was better than real calamari because it was crisp and not oily at all. Light as opposed to heavy.

Main Course:
I had garlic shrimp with brown rice, it was great. Just the right amount of spice.

Overall both Diana and I would highly recommend Legal Seafoods. As a celiac dining out, having a dedicated menu with "normal" food on it is a wonderful thing.
