Back in the day, I was a triple threat on the basketball court – even made it to the minor
leagues. Kind of. Small-town womens college team, JV. Me and layup drills were great friends.
Also, sprained ankles and ice packs.
Now, as a middle-aged woman, I’m a different kind of triple threat: Gluten free, lactose free
and sugar free. SWISH! And the crowd goes wild.
But still I’m that scrapper hoop girl. I still love to mow down obstacles in the name of a much-
needed win. Dietary restrictions bedamned! Right now we live in Porto, Portugal, which isn’t
exactly Southern California or Sweden – not a hub for vegan or wheat-free living. (And don’t
even think about finding something sem açucar, except in your own kitchen.)
So it’s always a bit of a hunt to find options that are in-diet and also pleasureful. Hence this
blog! What my daughter and I find in the Porto area, we’ll share with you, with ratings like this:
Cheers and bom appetit!
