For gluten-free foodies, The Little Beet is a gluten-free haven in Washington DC. This New York City export is 100% gluten-free, and promises seasonal fare, farm-to-table ingredients, and peace of mind when dining out. Since my first review of The Little Beet, their menu and options have changed enough to warrant an updated blog post. The menu has been reorientated around design-your-own bowls, with a rice, grains, or salad as […]
I love bread. I always have, and always will. As a gluten-free blogger (and bread lover), I am always in search of the latest and greatest gluten-free bread options. From breads found at my local grocery stores to ordering from bakeries across the country, I never pass up an opportunity to try a new-to-me brand. When visiting North Carolina, a Publix trip introduced me to BFree, a wheat and gluten-free bakery […]
I ordered the daily special, Primal’s chicken salad. This is not so much your deli counter variety, but a lovely reimagining, which serves the salad in a deconstructed way. The chicken has a lovely grilled flavor, and is tender and cut into manageable slices. Grapes and Granny Smith apples provide sweetness, with the latter adding a delightful tartness. The almonds added a nuttiness and nice texture to every forkful and […]
Since I have family in Western North Carolina, I like to make plans to visit multiple times a year. As a city dweller, I enjoy the abundance of beautiful scenery to be had in the mountains and foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, and eating southern food that is hard to find in the mid-Atlantic. When planning a day trip to Grandfather Mountain with my aunt and uncle, a quick Find […]
From one location in Dartmouth, Massachusetts to over 20 locations today, Not Your Average Joe’s has made a name for itself by focusing on from-scratch cooking and unparalleled service. I’ve heard for awhile that Not Your Average Joe’s had a great gluten-free menu- and even better- a can-do attitude when it comes to dietary restrictions. The restaurant has been on my to-try list for awhile, but their Virginia and Maryland […]
One of my favorite places to visit in Washington D.C. is the Washington National Cathedral. The grounds around the nation’s spiritual home are incredibly serene and the interior of the cathedral is magnificent featuring intricate carvings, beautiful stained glass, and an incredible history that is entwined with some of the most notable events and people of the 20th and 21st centuries. The National Cathedral tops the list of places I take out-of-town visitors, […]
This post features menus for Not Your Average Joe’s. To check out my full review, click here. In following other gluten-free bloggers, I have heard incredible things about the restaurant chain Not Your Average Joe’s. In a world where gluten-free dinners are lucky to get a menu with symbols indicating gluten-free fare, Not Your Average Joe’s set out to change the paradigm around gluten-free eating- starting with creating a lengthy […]
While I have explored Washington D.C.’s many neighborhoods and eaten all over the nation’s capitol, I have not spent much time in the surrounding areas- such as historic Alexandria just a Metro ride away. After spending a morning exploring George Washington’s estate- Mount Vernon- I decided to stop by Alexandria for lunch. When exploring options for where to dine, Don Taco caught my eye because I am always in search […]
When passing through Williamsburg, Virginia last month I stopped by Food for Thought after reading amazing reviews about their gluten-free menu and know-how when accommodating gluten-free diners. Usually I debate about where to stop when traveling, but to me the choice was clear. Located just outside the historic district, Food for Thought is a restaurant with an ethic that gluten-free diners deserve a seat at the table- and the same […]
One of my favorite places to go in Washington DC is the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. Whether I go for a quick visit or spend the whole day there, I love the thrill of seeing animals from around the world up close and personal. The best thing about the National Zoo is that it is completely free to enter 364 days a year (they are closed on Christmas Day). Located in the […]
