Dunkin' your Gluten Free Donuts!

Dunkin' has taken the plunge into a yummy hot cup of coffee with the first fast food Gluten Free donuts and muffins!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really wish we had a Dunkin' Donuts now!

Anyway, if you suffer from gluten intolerance and have suffered through life without donuts, except for the one's you find awesome Pinterest recipes for, Dunkin' is making your life easier.  Check it out!


They are individual wrapped in order to make sure these gluten free puppies are separated from their gluten-ness cousins at the counter.

If only I was on the east coast!

Yo Quiero Taco Bell Protein?

Fan of protein?  Well, be prepared if you are in Dayton Ohio.  On July 25th, Taco Bell is going to release their Power Protein Menu for guests in that area.  The menu items feature TWICE the amount of protein than a normal menu item.  So far they've announced the Power Protein Burrito which has a double portion of your choice of chicken or steak includes a double portion of chicken or steak, romaine lettuce, roasted corn and pepper salsa, pico de gallo, guacamole, and reduced-fat sour cream wrapped up in a flour tortilla.  They also have a bowl counterpart without the tortilla (for all our gluten-free friends out there.)  
Make mine Steak!

They also announced that they'll be adding some more zero-cal soft drinks including my favorite Brisk Diet Green Iced Tea Peach.  Yummy!  If you wanna try that bad boy now, head over to Panda Express and then leave with your tea and go to Yummy Express to eat. 
This is for a test audience in Dayton but if it's successful, don't be surprised to see these items added to your local Taco Bell.
Then again...I miss this Taco Bell:

GORDITAS! GORDITAS!

Put down your Subway and pick up a Bic Mac!

Well, thank you researchers!  After years of me saying that "you are no better getting Subway than McDonald's," and no one believing me, researchers at UCLA came to the same conclusion.  Take that Subway "healthy" people.  You are no better off than me and my Big Mac eating ways. HAAHAAHA!



 
To the results:
 
Researchers found that during their experiment, which you can read here, participants buying lunch at Subway would consume on average only 83 calories less than participants buying lunch at McDonald's.  Not a significant difference. 
 
On average researchers found that a sandwich at Subway ranks WAY higher in sodium content than an average sandwich at McDonald's.  Also, an average Subway sandwich has a higher calorie intake than an average McDonald's sandwich.
 
Of course, nutritionists caution that for a healthy diet you would want to avoid fast food.  Of course, I will not listen to that.  I say, moderation is always the best.  I'm a fast food junkie no if's, and's, or but's about it and always will be.  But it does feel really good to pass by Subway and snicker over my tasty Bic Mac. MUUUUHAHAHAHAHA!

Come here my pretty!
