On our way back from Santa Rosa to Sacramento, we made a pit stop at Journey Downtown in Vacaville. I enjoyed the GF chicken strips and would definitely consider stopping by the next time I’m in Vacaville for work. Definitely had a good vibe and atmosphere too with pretty fresh sounding ingredients for GF and…

Riviera Ristorante || Santa Rosa, CA
For our last dinner of the trip, we wanted to hit up another true local spot. After many minutes scrolling through the Find Me Gluten Free app (premium subscription is well worth it in my opinion), we settled on Riviera Ristorante. It was packed with locals so you know it’s worth a visit. The team…
El Coqui || Santa Rosa, CA
While out and about in Santa Rosa, we absolutely had to hit up El Coqui. Whether you’re GF or not, this is a local spot you absolutely do not want to miss! As a New Yorker, Puerto Rican food was so much a part of my childhood (of course before my Celiac diagnosis) so I…
Tips Roadside || Napa, CA

Peppermint Meringues
The final recipe of 2022 and the number 22 in my #22NewGFRecipesIn2022 challenge was peppermint meringues using a recipe by Kathy on AllRecipes.com as a base.

Loaded Baked Potato Rounds
Here’s a quick recipe with a twist on something we’ve all had before: loaded potatoes — loaded potato rounds which bake up in 1/3 of the time total. Found this one on Taste of Home written by Amanda Digges. Super easy to make and would make a perfect party appetizer. I put the spices in…
Gluten Free Chocolate Depression Cake
I initially saw this recipe in a reel from Becky Excell and immediately saved it as a definite one to try. In the kitchen tonight was a Depression Cake bake, which despite it being winter-sad season, has nothing to do with that. Apparently, it is called this because its roots trace back to the Great…
