 I talk to so many people who were born and raised in Utah and have NEVER BEEN to our unique National Parks! How mind blowing is that? We have the most visited National Parks in the entire nation that haven't been visited by locals!
When thinking about your next vacation, consider traveling down these local avenues and return home with a heavier bank account! On your next vacation, consider going local as going local for your vacation has many benefits. Your destination may be closer than you think... Yes, that exotic 3 week vacation to hit all the sites in Europe sounds fantastic, but have you considered looking in your own backyard? I live in Utah, and many of the locals who have lived here all their life haven't even seen the seven gorgeous National Parks which people travel to from all over the world (I've heard multiple languages spoken on one trail hike!). Look in your own backyard, see what you can do inside your own state. Check  Gluten-Free Cake aboard a Princess Cruise What comes to your mind when you think of gluten-free? Maybe you think of eating tasteless bread or not eating bread at all! Your mind may flurry on all of your favorite desserts that which contain piles of gluten and can never be eaten again! You may feel that if you have to lead a life of being gluten-free that your life would be over for good.
You'll be happy to know that’s not the case! You can lead a gluten-free lifestyle and still eat your favorite desserts with some of these tips and tricks to make your new experience a good one. When you first embark on your new gluten-free life, you may feel a little let down because many items contain gluten. Now, it will be necessary to do a little searching around in order to find foods which are gluten free. Here are some easy food choices to start with on your gluten-free journey Breads Gluten-free breads are easy to find and are plentiful even in regular supermarkets. Some brands which I have a fondness for are Canyon Bakehouse, B Free, Udi's and Franz. Look around the bakery of your local market - you may even find some local gluten-free breads on your supermarket's shelves. There are also many different flavors of gluten-free bread including white bread, multigrain, and Hawaiian bread. You are sure to find a flavor in the varieties of gluten-free bread to choose from. Pasta There are literally dozens and dozens of gluten-free pasta brands on the shelves today! Such a variety to choose from, and  I'm sitting on the other side of the snowy, windy and brusk environment of Utah's cold climate. Living here gives one many opportunities for outdoor fun, especially in the winter. Even so, on days like today, I will reminisce about the smell of beach air, that salty, humid air which wraps around your skin and clings on like a small, hungry child. One of my best beach memories from last summer is stopping in Newport Coast at Ruby's Diner. I found Ruby's at the suggestion of a local who worked at the beach (which is also a California Park) which paralleled the diner. The diner had been the staple restaurant for locals at the beach for more than 50 years. It is quaint, mom and pop shop little diner, right off the main road, without ample parking, but the location does offer a gorgeous view of the ocean!
I open my car door, hop out and experience the warm, humid air that only a beachfront area can gift to your senses. Walking up, there is a myriad of people waiting in line for the most popular item on their menu: One afternoon while driving home, it came to fruition how finding a good restaurant with options is similar to finding a good guy to date. At first glance, you may wonder how I came to connect these two (you may also wonder about my sanity, but that's a subject for a different kind of blog).
No. 1 Comfort When looking for a good restaurant, you want to find a place that makes you feel comfortable. Your date should also make you feel comfortable as well, because, if he (or she) seriously isn't then you're not going to go back out with that person again, at least you shouldn't. Who wants to spend time at a restaurant (or on a date) in an uncomfortable situation? Only masochists, and I for sure, do not fall into that category! No. 2 Smell and Taste One of the very first senses that picks up good food is your sense of smell. If the food smells good, then for the most part, it will taste good. We all like to eat food that tastes good, no matter what foods we cannot eat. For those of us who are gluten-free, we are limited, but still look for yummy food! Like your food, your date  Keep fav gluten-free items on hand in your pantry! When you're gluten-free there are items that you'll need to keep in your pantry. I've been gluten free for about a year-and-a-half, and have found out which items I need to keep in my pantry for everyday use. Here are a list of items I keep in my pantry:
