Gluten-Free Friendly Black-Owned Businesses in the DC Area

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 […]

Dairy-Free Oui by Yoplait Review

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 […]

Commissary Review

When it comes to dining out, I disproportionately go for lunches and dinners rather than breakfasts, especially in DC.  It’s not that I’m not an early riser (which I am), it’s that too often gluten and dairy-free options on a breakfast menu are so limited I’m stuck with very few options that don’t exactly translate to something I can’t make at home (such as omelets).  In looking for brunch options […]

Sweet Crimes Popup at Ice Cream Jubilee

While I wait in eager anticipation for Sweet Crimes’ 100% gluten-free bakery to open in the Capitol Hill neighborhood this year, the next best thing is their ongoing popup at Ice Cream Jubilee’s storefront on bustling 14th Street in Washington, DC.  I fell in love with their irresistible, fresh-fried donut holes at the Navy Yard foodie-emporium Smorgasburg last year (read my review). In this popup iteration, they’ve expanded the amount of […]

Stone's Throw Hash Review

My absolute favorite place to eat in Baltimore is R House, the Remington food hall that has loads of gluten-free options and is a short walk away from my favorite museum in the city: the Baltimore Museum of Art. While R House is home to several stands that have been there for years, what’s cool is that every time you visit odds are there’s something new to try at the dedicated pop […]

Modern Bread & Bagel Review

The cruel thing about being gluten-free is not only that forever alters your sense of “normal” for baked goods and other wheat-based products, but it turns every dining experience into a research project, with serious sleuthing skills required before crossing a restaurant or cafe’s threshold. Gone are the days where stopping by for a sandwich or sitting down for a dinner can be done on a whim.  However at one […]

Sweet Crimes Doughnuts Review

One of the greatest things about summer in DC is the abundance of street markets and farmers markets that pop up throughout the city. We’re truly spoiled for choice, and every weekend presents a new opportunity to explore each of DC’s eight wards. Although it opened this spring to much fanfare, until now I haven’t stopped by one of DC’s newest food-centered markets: Smorgasburg. Setting up every Saturday in the Navy Yard’s […]

Borough 22 Gluten-Free Vegan Donuts Review

As I was researching gluten and dairy-free eats to make a list of not-to-be-missed places in London, the majority of my leads came from Instagram, where over the course of planning two holidays I’ve followed quite a few London and UK-based bloggers and companies.  One such small business is Borough 22, whose eye-catching array of gluten-free and vegan doughnuts had me dreaming of them from across the pond. I definitely […]

The Good Life Eatery Review

When I decided to book a second holiday to London this year and locked in my end-of-July timeframe, one of the top points on my itinerary was a tour of the State Rooms at Buckingham Palace. Only open during the summer and select dates throughout the year, I was excited to get a glimpse behind the elaborate gates to see a palace steeped in history, but is also a modern, working […]

Non-Dairy Chobani Review

If you asked me what I miss the most since going dairy-free, without a doubt I would say yogurt. No matter how many brands and new products have made their debut in the refrigerated section, I have yet to find a non-dairy yogurt that has the right consistency and is also not loaded with sugar.  You see, yogurt was a staple of my pre-dairy-free life, and was a staple of my morning routine, […]
