NY Times article on the cost of GF foods

Sent from my friend Elaine in NYC. Unfortunately, so true as those of us with the disease know. $5 for a bag of pasta? Yep.

Java Green


An appointment had me around downtown DC around lunchtime. I suddenly remembered I should eat lunch at Java Green, haven't been for ages. Java Green is a nice, eco friendly vegetarian restaurant which features smoothies, some raw dishes, salads, soups, noodles, sandwiches, and more. They are very allergy aware and have many yummy items marked clearly to be wheat/gluten free. As it was a hot day I opted for a salad and smoothie, but some of the wheat free noodle dishes and soups look promising to revisit in the winter.

The photo above shows my mc=e2 smoothie (pineapple, lemon, orange, something I'm forgetting now) and my very berry salad (berries and grapes, spinach, fresh mozzarella, almonds).

A good place to know about if you are downtown!
