Bistro Red Beet

Recently one of my support group members stopped by Bistro Red Beet in Wasilla.Red Beet specializes in fresh Northern Fare. Their meals are prepared from exclusively from fresh resources specifically Alaskan produce and Alaskan wild harvest with a little bit of fresh fare from around the globe added in their goal is to provide a wide variety of fresh foods that are pesticide free, herbicide free and organic. Their menu does change with the seasons but they offer gluten-free options all year round! They also offer catering and private dinning to maximize your experience with their menu items.
My support group member did mention that some of the food choices were odd but she thought the potatoes were awesome and she would recommend the meat sandwich with potatoes. If you are not used to organic and an earthy fare you may feel the same way. She did however, really enjoy the beet and raspberry smoothie and said that it could become "addicting"! She was also of the opinion that the price may be a little steep for some but, for a gluten-free meal sans cooking, it may be worth it once in a while. If you have tried this place, I would love your opinion as well.

Willy O's Gluten-free Pizza

Willy Olund has made it his passion to develop great tasting pizza. He used to give his siblings pizzas for Christmas gifts, however, when they became allergic to the majority of the grains he used, he had to figure out a way to make a different type of crust. His wife, Carla, who owns their store Willy O's Pizza and Grille in South Haven, MI, decided to open Willy O's Gluten-free products (a dedicated gluten-free USDA facility) in Holland, MI. With her help, Willy was able to produce a fabulous gluten-free pizza! So fabulous, in fact, that the gluten-free version has won several international awards. In 2010, The International Pizza Challenge held in Las Vegas voted his pizza number #1 in the United States and #2 Internationally and the Trofeo 2 Mari in Lecce, Italy voted his pizza #1 in America and he received the highest scores by any American as well.

The best part about Willy O's pizza? Even if you are not close to their store in South Haven, Michigan, Willy is happy to ship you some pizza! He even sent me a few in Alaska! They arrived looking perfect and they tested even better!
