Denver & The Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide,
City, O' City & Watercourse Foods

Today we decided to take a day trip to Denver, which is about 45 minutes from Longmont, to do a little gluten-free tour ;-) I recently received my latest Gluten-Free Restaurant Guide, and after looking online at two places I found in the book, and getting directions,
we were off!

First we went to City, O' City, where they had gluten-free vegan blueberry muffins, pizza and these "cookies" pictured below. The cookies were so good, and so big and fat and chewy -they were more like little cakes of coconut and chocolate! Yum!

We continued our tour, not far away, to Watercourse Foods, seen in the photo below. Like City, O' City, they specialize in vegetarian and vegan fare.

We all shared an egg scramble with corn tortillas, and greens with wheat-free tamari. The greens were my favorite -I could have eaten a big bowl of only them!

We also shared this slice of gluten-free vegan raspberry cake. It was way too sweet for our taste buds, which are used to sugar-free food, but it was very good, and very impressive.

I can't wait to consult the guide and see where to go next! :-)
