MYBREAD Gluten-Free Breads & Pizza Crust Review

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 […]

True Food Kitchen Review

One of the best times of the year for DC-area foodies are local restaurant weeks, where DMV eateries roll out the red carpet and offer prix fixe menus that showcase seasonal flavors for a special price. I always keep a close eye to what’s on offer for restaurant weeks in Bethesda and DC, and when I spotted True Food Kitchen’s menus, I immediately made reservations.  I’ve encountered True Food Kitchen once before, […]

Wild Review

After spending most of my afternoon in the Greenwich Village neighborhood, I turned to the Find Me Gluten Free app to determine where I wanted to stop for dinner before catching an evening show closer to Times Square.  After looking at the options nearby, I decided to dine at Wild in the nearby West Village neighborhood because it had a decidedly different ethos. Believing in serving fare made with real […]

&Pizza Review

When it comes to pizza options in Washington D.C., it’s hard not to miss &Pizza, the District’s homegrown and hip fast-casual pizza chain. Self-described as the “anti-establishment establishment,” &Pizza is built around a core value of creativity, and caters each store to reflect the ethos and individuality of their surrounding neighborhood.  In the same way, &Pizza’s creations are as unique as the customer ordering them, because one can choose the […]

Pi Pizzeria Review

I don’t eat as much pizza as I used to when I first started this blog. I blame some stellar gluten-free pizza experiences for this because once you’ve had a good gluten-free pizza, it’s hard to settle for an often overpriced, cardboard-tasting pathetic pizza.  After hearing positive reviews about Washington D.C.’s Pi Pizzeria, I decided to pay them a visit, lured by the promise of delicious pizza prepared safely. Even […]

Gluten-Free Options at the Smithsonian's National Zoo

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 […]

Pizzeria Paradiso Review

After a successful visit to Veloce, a fast casual pizza place in Farragut Square neighborhood (see my review), I knew a visit to Pizzeria Paradiso was in order to try out their original pizzeria concept.  One unique thing about Pizzeria Paradiso is that they place the emphasis on perfecting their pizza crust. As a gluten-free diner, I’m used to soggy, sad, and altogether subpar crusts, so I definitely had some […]

Veloce Review (CLOSED)

As of December 15, 2017, Veloce has closed its doors. I’m sad to see this GF neighborhood mainstay go away. Gluten-free pizza gets a bad rap, and I think that reputation is partially justified. Most pizzerias that serve up gluten-free pizzas serve up soggy or cardboard-like facsimiles of the real deal and charge twice the price. After finding really good pizzas at a few pizzerias, I have shied away from […]

Bella Gluten-Free Mix Review

It’s been ages since I last embarked on a gluten-free baking project, because it has been difficult to find free time this semester. Luckily, with my final exams behind me, I was able to break out my mixing bowls to test drive the Bella Gluten-Free mixes that have been hanging out in my pantry for a few weeks now.  What’s awesome about these mixes is that they are allergen-free and go […]

Sonoma Flatbreads Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Pizza Review

The white whale of being gluten-free and dairy-free are safe versions of typical gluten and dairy-laden comfort foods. While a gluten-free option can be found, so often the product contains dairy (or vice-versa).  As a college student, my freezer looks a bit different than others’ in my dorm because mine is missing one of the staples of college life: frozen pizza. For three years now I have survived late night […]
