Okay, I've settled on it. This is my favorite savory topped pizza, with pineapple being my favorite sweet topped pizza.
Things have been mighty busy around these parts recently, mostly due to the beautiful weather we've been having in Seattle. We've been out and about over-hauling our yard, trying paddle board yoga, and running errands for our upcoming camping trip. We've even eaten some of our first blueberries off our very own bush, I'll try to take some photos of our growing garden soon!
The beautiful summer days we've been starting to have in Seattle have sure enticed me out to more local restaurants, but that also mean's I've gotten very distracted from updating this blog! Summer may continue to be a bit os sparse time for posts here, but I'll try to do better!
So in the mean time, here are a couple quick notes on some new gluten free friendly spots I've tried in Seattle.
It's a busy week for me in my job and we just had my dad and step-mom visit, so I haven't really had any time to cook, let alone take pictures of much!
Another stop on my Seattle Summer Gluten Free Challenge to myself was Tidbit Bistro in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Seattle. We were lucky enough to snag a Groupon to Tidbit and therefore decided to splurge on the Paella for our dinner! This was our first time enjoying this dish and it was quite tasty, although next time I think we'll opt for the vegetarian version because as it turns out we're not really big fans of this much shellfish, however the chorizo was delicious.
When I was doing research for my trip I was hoping that I might find a Whole Foods along my drive from Dulles Airport, but I couldn't find one in a convenient location. I asked around and my wonderful mom suggested Wegman's. They had a gluten free section and a bunch of produce. I was able to stock up on all the essentials I needed for my trip.
Dobbin House has a couple of options for the gluten free out there. My favorite is the Crab a la Dobbin with a salad and sweet potato. All their veggies are extremely fresh and the crab is quite good too, but I should warn you that it's a lot of crab. The staff there were very accommodating, were able to point to the safe options on the menu, and happily answered my many follow up questions!
This market is going to be my savior whenever I have to travel to this part of the county. They had a wonderful selection of organic and in-season fruits and veggies and a really great variety of gluten free and alternative dairy type products. Below are some of the goodies I came away with; maple candy, chocolate sprinkles, chocolate covered macaroons, sheep milk yogurt, and some ginger cookies.
Adapted from Simply Gluten Free's Apricot Almond Tart, which is now quite possibly one of my favorite desserts because of how light and delicious it is.
This adaptation is quite the opposite. It's heavy (in a good way), rich, and one slice is all the dessert you need. For my tastes, this is like a rich chocolate cake with chocolate frosting. A wonderful indulgence but not an everyday treat.
