From now until the end of October, you can vote for your favorite gluten free products in GFreek's 2nd Annual Gluten Free Awards. This is a wonderful way for delicious gluten free products to get publicity and for everyone eating gluten free to find favorites in a wide variety of categories. Don't forget to consider adding some local favorites to the mix - such as the baked goods from Outside the Bread Box in Colorado Springs or our very own Gluten Free Diet: A Shopping Guide. And of course, we can't forget Shabti Gourmet's Swiss Chocolate Rolls. Yum...
Organic Peddler - Del Norte Colorado
Nestled in the hills about 30 miles east of Wolf Creek the town of Del Norte is home to Organic Peddlers, a small grocery market.
As we passed through town we spotted this little store located just off the main highway.
Promptly on their sign out front they say they carry gluten free items!
We berry much appreciate that as it can be quite difficult to find gluten free goods in rural areas.
Stop by there next time you pass through southern Colorado and support them.
Fall is a great time of year down there! We were treated to some great views today as we passed through. Today was a mix of fall colors and an overnight snow which really made the colors shine.

Gluten-Free Restaurant in Colorado Springs: TAPAteria
Located in Old Colorado City, on the West side of Colorado Springs, TAPAteria is a tapas restaurant with a complete gluten-free menu.It was the perfect way to spend the last evening of summer. The sun sat just as we were seated on the back patio and the few clouds in the sky changed from orange to red to white as it got dark.
Every item we saw on the menu had a small gluten-free symbol next to it. In case you don't already know, tapas are smaller portions of food - perfect for a light dinner or ideal for trying multiple dishes at one meal!
Our dinner:
...and for dessert:
Pan con chocolate
- Garlic bulb
- Carne Adobada
- Goat cheese salad
- Grilled garlic shrimp
- Tortilla espanol
- Grilled mushroom and cheese mushroom special
- Tuna carpaccio
...and for dessert:
Pan con chocolate
The wine list is made up mostly of Spanish wines - none of which we were familiar with. I was looking for something similar to a pinot noir and so our server recommended the Caceres Rioja. It was perfect.
Tips: parking can be difficult in Old Colorado City. Look for the signs directing you to public parking - it is free and much easier than trying to find parking on Colorado Street. If you're visiting Colorado Springs, plan some time around this meal - firstly so you can walk around Old Colorado City and secondly so you have time to relax while you eat.
