I’ve been gluten intolerant for over 20 years and it’s sometimes difficult (if not impossible) to find a great tasting gluten-free equivalent of my old favourites from childhood – pies, pastries, bread and pancakes.

Well readers, a friend introduced me to Hale & Hearty in Waterloo yesterday and my life has been seriously altered by these super fluffy stacks of heaven. Most of their pancakes are gluten and dairy free – and some are even sugar free. I have no idea how these guys do it, but they taste like the real deal and the presentation is out of this world.

All hale these hearty stacks of mind blowing awesomeness. And bless you Hale & Hearty from the bottom of my gluten-free heart (and stomach) for this miraculous recipe. I’ll be back to try the rest of the menu.
