Gluten Free in Huntsville

10/02/2025

Let’s support him!!🇺🇸🫶🏼

From our friend Rodney Smith, Jr. of Huntsville, who has mowed thousands of lawns for free.

The 36 year old (he was born on the 4th of July) is asking the bigwigs in Washington DC if he could have the honor of mowing Arlington National Cemetery.

Writes Rodney:

“Dear White House,

“I Know this is kind of a shot, but my name is Rodney Smith Jr. I live in Huntsville, AL. I’m currently traveling to all 50 states mowing lawns for veterans, active duty service members, Gold Star families & widows. I’m also sharing their stories. This is my way of honoring them.

“As founder of a nonprofit with 6,000+ kids mowing FREE lawns for the elderly, disabled, single parents & veterans nationwide, I’d be honored to bring my USA Flag Mower to mow at the Arlington National Cemetery where veterans rest.

“I’m currently in the New England area heading down the East Coast before Florida, then Alaska. Thank you for your consideration,

“Rodney.”

I’ve known Rodney for years, and he’s helped thousands of people with his free lawn mowings.

I know it would be an honor for Rodney to travel to DC and mow grass at Arlington National Cemetery.

Let’s spread the word! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I finally made it to cafe!! It’s practically right across the major highway from my home so I can come enjoy eating out on the beautiful patio with a friend any day 🥰☀️🍁. The food is beautiful when served and very unique. They have quite a few menu options and my egg in a cup was sooo good!! They are continually adding more to the menu and don’t forget to enjoy a coffee too or drink if it’s the right time😉. **they were very knowledgeable of gluten allergy and keeping things separate in the kitchen.

This food is much more than ordinary! My family and I visited on ❤️🖤💚 . What a great day to commemorate the emancipation of enslaved people in the US! Our host/waiter was amazing, building is beautiful and so many options! (Very knowledgeable of gf allergies, celiac & contamination) Food is so flavorful and prices fit everyone’s budget. They have an awesome pick 2 for $11.99 menu. Or go all out for a $25 burger that has every meat you can think of on it that my son devoured!🤣

Took my kids to and it’s now a fave in our house! They do list which of their products are GF and contain some other food allergies. There is still corn syrup in most of their products for those of you that can’t have corn or avoiding corn syrup. Go visit and check them out if frozen custard is something you have always liked or wanted to try…you won’t be disappointed!!

Just found out 1892 East Restaurant & Tavern will be closing their doors. It was one of the first restaurants locally I would go to when I was diagnosed with celiac disease 15 years ago that cooked food I could trust Throughout the years as people would travel to Huntsville they would contact me and ask where to eat and this would be one of my recommended places. I think over the years they got lost in the growth of so many restaurants coming. I know they had the same look and same style from the time I first visited. However, their food was always so good and flavorful. They used local produce & meat and you could tell. The tomato basil soup and crème brûlée was always my favorite. It’s always sad to say goodbye to a restaurant who you know cared about their community in providing such great food and service. They will be missed!!

One of Huntsville's most popular restaurants in the Five Points district, 1892 East, has closed its doors for good.

It’s spring and a great time to visit tea house🫖. Right now you get to experience a Dowton Abbey theme at their beautiful house in downtown Madison. They have a menu that pairs wonderfully with different teas provided. All the GF food tasted amazing and was similar to what the other guests ate. It is recommended to make reservations if you need special accommodations and/or large groups. I will be going back again!

This GF, DF, and Paleo friendly Pancake Recipe never gets old. Check it out and make sure you don’t forget Otto's Naturals Casava Flour !

Pancakes...these are a few of my favorite things! .

Cassava Flour Pancakes:

1 C cassava flour
½ tsp grain free baking powder*
¼ tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. sea salt
2 Tbsp. honey
2 large eggs
1⅓ C + 1 Tbsp. Separated coconut water/water from can (to do this step, put can in refrigerator over night. Scoop fat out and put in different bowl and into the fridge for later. Then use coconut fat to make whip cream!--2 in 1 👊🏻)
1 tsp. distilled white vinegar
3 Tbsp. coconut oil or olive oil

Instructions

Heat a griddle or pan over medium-low heat.
Melt the coconut oil and set aside.
Mix the coconut juice with vinegar in a small bowl and set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together the dry ingredients.
In another bowl, whisk together all of the wet ingredients (including the coconut juice mixture) except the coconut oil, so it doesn't solidify.
Stir the wet ingredients into the dry, then stir in the coconut oil. Batter will be thick.
Add about ½ tsp. of coconut oil and swirl around pan until it melts.
Pour ¼ C of batter into the preheated skillet. Cook until the edges look dry and bubbles start to form. Flip and cook until the other side is golden brown. Set aside and repeat with remaining pancakes. Enjoy!
