Here's what I am planning to make this weekend, right from the Rudi's website:

This recipe is a real crowd pleaser. High in protein, potassium and delicious Rudi’s Bread, There is no feeling like you are “missing out” on anything. Having everyone able to eat the same thing makes the day so much brighter. And those who were once isolated, and now included. With fine products like Rudi’s you are able to recreate dishes without the gluten!! It’s a win -win for everyone! Time to prepare: 35 mins

Holy yumminess! For those that don’t know, I work in the advertising world with things like QR codes and Digital Signage. Last night, upon doing my usual scan of the web for industry trends I came across multiple articles about a new venture by the Flip Camera inventor, Jonathon Kaplan. He’s decided to take his technology background and pair it with everyone’s love for grilled cheese. The restaurant: The Melt. Because who doesn’t love a grilled cheese and soup?

I will be heading to France & Spain in a few short weeks and am looking forward to all of the naturally gluten free food I will get to eat while abroad... seafood, cheeses, chocolates... and wine! But, I must say, this bit of news kind of makes me want to pay a visit to good 'ole McDonald's while we are in Spain.

Please note: I am not condoning eating McDonald's on a regular basis if you should travel to Spain, or here in the States. For me, this would be a one time taste test should I find myself in a food predicament.

Update: I had the burger & bun in Barcelona. More bun than burger but was a fun experience, nonetheless.
