Michigan-based Gluten Free Travel Blogger
Welcome to Mindful in the Mitten, my cozy corner of the internet dedicated to all things Michigan & beyond — especially local, allergy-friendly eats & treats. All the food I eat & review is Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Egg Free because of allergies.
I know how hard it can be to find delish & safe food, so whether you’re from Michigan, like me, or you’re planning to travel here or elsewhere, I’ve got you covered! I also feature local businesses and suggest fun things to do to inspire you to travel around the mitten, (& world!), with ease!!

Gluten free since 2010
Hi! I’m Lily
I’m a Michigan-based foodie on a mission to find delicious, gluten-free (and allergy-friendly) eats that go way beyond the salad. Diagnosed with dietary sensitivities, I quickly learned how tough it can be to dine out, travel, and still enjoy amazing meals without the worry.
Mindful in the Mitten is where I share my trusted restaurant finds, travel tips, local gems, and honest reviews to help others eat well, feel good, and explore confidently—right here in Michigan and wherever the road leads.
