Gluten Free & Fresh: Week 15


Excuses, excuses... I got rocked with the flu this past week and took a short trip to California so photos of all this yummy food is missing yet again.  Luckily, I see a couple months on the horizon where I will be working only 8 hours a day at my "day" job, meaning I'll have more time to cook and be creative.  I'm especially excited to continue working on my Fig Newly (read: newton/cookie) recipe that I started experimenting with last month because I just got a new rolling pin!  On to this week's goodies;

Gluten Free In Seattle, Washington: Anniversary Dinner in Wallingford

 

For our first anniversary we decided to make reservations at the one restaurant we have been wanting to try since moving to Seattle.  Tilth is a farm to table type place with some wonderful seasonal offerings, of which during our visit, maybe 80% of them were gluten  and cows milk dairy free or easily adaptable to be so.  We made reservations ahead of time and e-mailed with the general manager ahead of time to ensure that they could accommodate my needs.

Gluten Free In Washington, District of Columbia


Since I had to go to Washington DC on a work trip, we thought we would take the opportunity to stay the weekend and visit the museums around the city.  We got through five of them (American History, Natural History, Air & Space, American Indian, and the Botanical Gardens) and I think that's pretty good for a weekend.  We walked the entire mall and we found a lot of safe places to eat gluten free food!

One Year Later: A Gluten Free Wedding In Carmel, California
One year ago today we were having one of the best days of our lives.  Bringing our families and friends together, eating delicious food, laughing, visiting, and dancing the night away.  Looking back on it all, wow were we fortunate to have such beautiful, fun, and easy wedding.

We'll be celebrating with a dinner at Tilth and by simply spending some time together. With work and school, our lives are quite full and it's wonderful to just have a few moments together.

So with that, I thought I would repost the story of our AMAZING wedding food which was almost entirely gluten and dairy free.

POBY Smoothie


After I found out that I could no longer eat strawberries, I was pretty disappointed, especially in BOS (Banana, Orange Juice, Strawberries) smoothies I would be missing out on.  Shortly after, on a visit to one of my favorite places, the Ferry Market Building in San Francisco, I tried subbing peaches in a fresh made smoothie. I loved it and now it's one of my favorites!
