The Gluten-Free Urban Goddess: Jimmy John's

Ok, here we go...

So, In February 2011 I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease...wanna know more? Go here!

I get a lot of questions about Celiac Disease and I'm a secret chef so I decided to start this blog so I can get the word out and share some of the meals I've cooked as well as some of the things I've found along the way. I'm very active and I refuse to let Celiac Disease keep me from doing all the fun stuff I'm used to :-)

I'm learning and growing so if you have any ideas or comments feel free to share!

UN...common

I was out with my Little Sister (BBBS) and we needed to get a quick bite to eat...oh no, this is unplanned, what am I gonna do? My worst fear, eating out unplanned in a not so familiar area. I did a quick sweep of the area...Jimmy John's. I have some VERY fond memories of Jimmy John's. There was one next to my dorm when I was in college and they stayed open until 3:00am so I ate there quite frequently! Everywhere I have lived I have found the nearest Jimmy John's so I can resort to my "old faithful". At first I was like "Darn it I can't eat there" but then I remembered the Unwich! All the fun of the famous Jimmy John's sandwich without all the gluten! I ordered what I always order: Beach Club, no Sprouts, no Cucumbers, no Lettuce (since it's wrapped in it)! I felt like I was home! Here is what it looks like:

Not the most glamorous, but it get's the job done...well!
