There are days where I just don't feel like cooking. My boyfriend isn't a huge fan of the cooking idea so we contacted a friend of ours who loves dining out and went out to The Redwood Bar and Grill.
The Redwood Bar and Grill is a great fall-back of gluten-free food in the Clayton Park area. Located off of Lacewood Drive in the Future Inns hotel, they're very accessible from the highway.
The meals offered aren't anything spectacular; they just serve good food and have a fantastic selection of gluten-free eats.
Our friend wanted something spectacular for desert. He placed the idea in our head about cheesecake. Knowing I usually can't eat deserts when dining out, I was no hindrance to the plan to go visit The Sweet Hereafter Cheescakery. After paying our bill, off we ventured into the night towards Quinpool Road.
Upon arriving, I asked the question I'm so use to hearing, "no" to; "Do you serve gluten-free?" To my delight and surprise, they did indeed have two gluten-free cheesecakes available for consumption! There was a very tempting Maple Pumpkin Cheesecake and the winner of my desires, the Chocolate Raspberry. The desert was decadent! The price is fairly reasonable for a slice of desert. I ended up bringing some home with me in a cute take-out box as I was unable to finish it off in one go.
The interior of the cheesecakery is relaxing with a dark wall and a variety of colors and reflective objects sitting around it. The space isn't large and feels very intimate. I think my next date-night may just be coffee and cheesecake.

Gluten-Free at the Halifax Seaport Farmers Market
In growing up in Fredericton, New Brunswich, I have come to love Saturday mornings spent at a farmers market. I was extremely glad to have moved to a city that had the same Saturday morning farmers market.
The Halifax Seaport Market has expanded from the Keith's brewery labyrinth, to its own home on the waterfront. With the move came the change in times of operation as well. It is now open more days of the week. Still, Saturday remains the day where all the stall vendors are there and you are bound to see a variety of people tightly packed awaiting their food.
The Halifax Seaport Market alas provides a great selection of gluten-free staples for any diet.
Since working Saturday - Wednesday, I unfortunately do not get to be a frequent visitor of the market.
Last Saturday I took the day off of work to enjoy both Open City and the bountiful supplies of the market made available during the weekend.
My staples when visiting the market are below. I highly suggest taking a gander when at the market as they have a variety of stalls to suit your every need.
Java Blend
Roasted in the North End of Halifax, the roaster has a stall in the market on the second floor serving the delicious and freshly roasted beans. They're locate on the second floor on the North side of the building.
Bramoso Pizza
You can pick up delicious gluten-free pizzas to go. They are made in a gluten-free environment to eliminate cross-contamination worries. I haven't bought, nor investigated their slices to go for fear of gluten. If you don't have a gluten allergy, I do hear that the Breakfast Pizza is fantastic from my boyfriend. He can't seem to get enough of that pizza. They are located on the second floor beside Java Blend.
El Gallo Mexican Foods
They have delicious tamales! They have Pico de Gaillo and other mexican favorites to purchase to go as well. I love their homemade tortilla chips. They are found on the second floor, near Java Blend.
Schoolhouse Bakery
From breads to brownies, Schoolhouse Bakery has it all. Their food is wonderful! My favorites are the brownies, ginger snaps and the cinnamon raison bread. The cinnamon raisen bread makes fantastic french toast! They're located on the first floor near the stairwell to Java Blend.
See a theme? Java Blend is one of my most frequented shops in Halifax. Why I love Java Blend is a post for a different day.
Happy market exploring!
