It doesn’t take much for us to get excited about food, especially sweets and breakfast treats. Today, in light of the Royal Wedding, we’re all fired up to make a batch of our (royal) cherry-pecan scones! Dense and crumbly, slightly flaky, and bursting with hints of cherry and coconut, we recommend a piping cup of black coconut tea to go alongside. Happy wedding, Charles and Katie!

Remember coming home from school when you were young? Chances are you were absolutely STUH-HARVING from all that play on the playground, and dinner felt like an impossibly distant promise. That’s when your mom would pull out a beige, waxy sleeve of Ritz crackers, slap some peanut butter on a few, sandwich them up, and give you the richest, most appreciated snack of the day.

If you’re one of the millions — maybe even billions — of people who celebrates Easter, you will most likely have eggs coming out your ears for the next few weeks. And — fun fact — did you know that eggs cook beautifully in the microwave? They do. And that is one of The Lab’s most tried-and-true standbys, especially for quick on-the-go breakfasts.

When a band of hungry rehearsing musicians shows up in The Lab’s kitchen on a gorgeous springtime evening, food must show up fast and in great quantity. And if you follow our Tweets (@glutenfreelab), you know that we’re looking for any excuse to whip up something that features last weekend’s gift of pork belly. Commence Operation Springtime Risotto. (Incidentally, and in the meantime, everyone was kept happy with some Meyer lemon Vieux Mot cocktails!) So together in a pot goes some leek, some rice, some asparagus & crimini mushrooms, some chicken broth & wine, and out comes a deliciously creamy, intensely-flavored springtime meal. Give it a whirl; you won’t be let down.

Baseball is America’s favorite pastime. So as the baseball season is ramping up, we find it our civic duty to inform our readership of the ballparks that offer gluten-free food options. Gluten-free hot dogs and hamburgers and fries and beer, oh my!

That right there? That’s lunch! This was a surprise hit born out of starving necessity last night…a quick throw-together Sunday evening meal that did NOT lack in flavor and produced just enough leftovers to make it to the office for lunch. It’s 4 o’clock. Is that too soon to be hungry for more tofu & curry?

A new site! Where you can locate or rate a restaurant based on its level of “allergy friendliness”! Allergy Eats is in its beta-testing phase and has plans to include more features than what’s currently online…although that’s not to say that there aren’t already a number of valuable resources included on this site. The primary feature we’re impressed by is how one might search or rate restaurants that offer allergy-friendly dining. As a user, you’re first prompted to choose your allergen(s) from the list provided, including peanuts, tree nuts, dairy, eggs, wheat, gluten, fish, shellfish, sesame and soy.
