Since my birthday is this month, it’s been a weird experience to have a normally celebratory time of the year for me coincide with the start of the pandemic (last year) and the one-year milestone observations (this year). Though I’m not a huge birthday person, it has felt really strange to celebrate on my own for two years in a row now, forgoing my preferred method of celebrating: sharing a […]
My first delivery in the soupscription was a superb showcase for the full kaleidoscope of summer flavors. Both the Indian style chickpea vegetable salad and curried red lentil peach soup channeled Indian flavors with a twist, the former with amazingly fresh vegetables and herbs mixed in and the latter with peachy sweetness shining through. The late summer vegetable chili was comfort food perfection with a nice, chunky texture. The cucumber gazpacho however totally stole […]
In what seems like a never-ending stretch of social distancing, I have diligent about sticking close to home over the past six months, venturing out only on rare occasions. While I have enjoyed trading in my evening commute to be more creative in the kitchen, I’ve missed the simple luxury of going out to eat and the only potential danger was potential gluten and/or dairy cross contact. Luckily, a recent visit from […]
In light of the ongoing devastation of the coronavirus epidemic, it’s more important than ever to support restaurants and companies that cater to gluten-free diners. Covid-19 considerations or not, being a gluten-free diner can be challenging, so any eatery or product that makes life more navigable to those of us with dietary restrictions are the MVPs of every community. One stalwart in my community of Washington, DC is Seoul Spice, the 100% gluten-free […]
From the earliest days of my blog, literally in its first year, I have been a huge fan of MYBREAD and their line of gluten-free pitas. They’ve managed what I once thought was impossible when I first went gluten-free: a soft, yet sturdy, pita bread that doesn’t compromise on form or flavor despite being flour-free. Recently, MYBREAD expanded their product line beyond their pitas to branch out from their flagship pitas. When they reached […]
At a national, regional, and local level, the last two weeks have unleashed a swirling storm of emotions: outrage, exhaustion, heartbreak, but also renewed hope the “more perfect union” generations of Americans have dreamed of can be realized. That can’t happen however, without the clear and unequivocal acknowledgement that Black Lives Matter. By typing, saying, or shouting those words in protest, millions across the country are uniting to reject the national paradigm that […]
Though it still doesn’t quite feel like it yet, Summer is definitely upon us, and with it comes my renewed search for the latest and greatest in gluten and dairy-free frozen dessert options. The latest such products to catch my eye are the vegan mochi offerings from My/Mo. While I’ve seen My/Mo in most every grocery store I’ve been in, their dairy-full version of this bit-sized treat are usually what’s stocked. After […]
With an all-but-cancelled spring behind us and a rather uncertain summer ahead, like many of you, I’ve been slowly coming to terms with the “new abnormal” we are now living in. As such, I’ve tempered my disappointment about canceled travel and events with closer-to-home adventures that have allowed me to re-discover my DC neighborhood and connect virtually with friends and family. Given that I’m not going anywhere any time soon, […]

In recent months, the yogurt aisle at my local grocery stores has gotten a lot more crowded in the best possible way with mainstream brands introducing new dairy-free lines and already dairy-free brands introducing new products. It’s certainly a great time to be in search of dairy-free yogurt and a long way from the sad days of off-textured and off-flavored versions I tried when I first transitioned away from all […]
