Dora's Pizza

Image
Since I have switched to eating Gluten Free eating out has been quite a task. It is usually stressful and I am often filled with regret after eating out. However, that is just not the case here! My husband and I don't often eat out. We choose to cook at home and take our meals on the go but sometimes we enjoy a nice date night out, family gathering, or already made food on the go (especially to football games!) What is Dora's Pizza? Believe it or not... Dora's Pizza is not solely a pizza restaurant! They serve salads, subs, pizza (that is worth the travel if you are not from around here...) and of course some amazing pasta dishes!!! Dora's is a small family owned and run restaurant located in Haines City, FL right next to the Haines City Police Station and only a few minutes from I4. If you are a local or have been to the restaurant more than one time, the owners will surely recognize you and give you that friendly small town welcome! I highly recommend taking ...

Florida Hurricanes

Have you heard that Florida is in the Direct Path of another Tropical Storm? I know what you are thinking... we are all thinking it! PLEASE NO MORE HURRICANES! There is actually some positive to this Tropical Storm!  We have already survived Irma and while Florida is still recovering and several of us are still trying to get back to living a normal life... We know what to expect from a Category 3 so most of us scoff at the idea of a possible Category 1!  Florida is notorious for their "Hurricane Parties" so make sure you are ready to partake in the festivities! Rainy BBQ and late night board games! Don't forget to bring the wine and the flash lights! None of us enjoy being without power and probably don't expect to really lose power this time, however, Fall is finally upon us which means cooler weather and less sweaty couches! Make sure you have your fans ready, just in case! Hurricane Irma already took out the really heavy trees, now we only hav...

Events for the weekend of September 23-24

Image
After much sulking around, cleaning up, and exhaustion from being pinned in our homes/ shelters/ friends homes, everyone is looking for some way to get out and feel a bit more normal after Hurricane Irma did her best to try and wash Florida away. Thankfully, even a hurricane of her force does not keep us Floridians down for long. The good news is, if you haven't already found something fun and exciting to do this weekend, or you are a procrastinator at finding fun things to do (much like myself), I actually have you covered! LAKELAND, FLORIDA The Color Vibe 5K in Lakeland is great if you are full of energy and love to walk or run!
