We had a wonderful Valentine's Day last week and we actually celebrated all weekend long!! Michael took me out to dinner on Friday night. He took me to Carrabba's. He did his homework and called the restaurant beforehand. He made sure the staff knew that I was gluten free and he wanted them to be prepared when we came in.
I cannot tell you how wonderful the staff at Carrabba's was. The waiter was knowledgeable about every gluten free menu item and he took the time to prepare most of my meal himself to reassure that it was indeed gluten free. The waiter even took the time toast up my gluten free bread (that I had brought in), so I could dip it in the oil and seasonings! The grilled salmon that I ordered was the best that I have EVER had. I have never been treated so well in a restaurant before, and we'll definitely be patronizing Carrabba's more often!

I can't believe that February is passing by so quickly as we are already in the 3rd week of the month!! Our menu this week includes some old favorites and some new recipes that I would like to try. If they work well, I will post them later in the week! Also, make sure to check back tomorrow for the February edition of the Gluten Free Grill! We have a great interview planned along with a fantastic recipe for your Chinese food cravings!!
Well, I have to admit that I had not planned on making butternut squash this week, but I think I will try to squeeze it into the menu when I make grilled salmon!
