Halloween can be a deliciously fun holiday! The video above is the first ever Halloween Special from LOOK TV 8 that just so happens to be gluten free! Enjoy the recipes! The pasta I used for the Pumpkin Ziti in a pumpkin is Le Venienza Pasta. Simply Delicious!

Tune into WNYT News Channel 13 Albany tomorrow morning at 8am for the Morning Today show to watch just how frightfully feasty Halloween Can be Gluten Free! Dan Bazile, Tim Drawbridge and I will be cooking up a scarily good time!

The cooking segment and recipes from the show will be posted on the WNYT website http://www.wnyt.com/, after the show.

Popular Restaurant 1st to become NFCA GREAT Certified!

new gluten free menu!

O'toole's Restaurant in Queensbury NY is first in the area to complete the NFCA GREAT Training Course and Certification! What does this mean for you? If you and/or someone you love lives a gluten free lifestyle you now have a new place to enjoy a meal out on the town!

Congratulations to Michael Moynihan and O'toole's Restaurant for taking a proactive approach to serve their gluten free customers. What makes O'toole's different so far than just any other restaurant offering a gluten free menu in the area? They have taken your allergy and needs seriously by completing the NFCA GREAT Program and completed the Glens Falls and Saratoga Springs Regional Celiac Support Groups Restaurant Approval Program.

Michael Moynihan, Manager of O'toole's in Queensbury, is proud to offer an extensive gluten free menu prepared in a gluten free designated area in the restaurant's kitchen. They even offer a seperate deep fryer and toaster! Yes it appears that you can safely enjoy piping hot french fries again! As I can speak from my experiences there the burgers are juicey and delicious served on toasted Saratoga Gluten Free Goods Rolls. Another one of my favorite treats are their loaded potoato skins served up hot and with gluten free Cabot Sour Cream!

When you visit O'toole's please ask the hostess for a gluten free menu and as always  please also inform your waitress that you are dining gluten free.

As always I value your opinion! I would love to hear your feedback on O'toole's Restaurant!

O'toole's is located at 118 Quaker Road, Queensbury, New York 12804.
