The best gluten-free food in the world is fruit. And all fruit is gluten-free. Lucky for me, Portland is one of the best places in the world for fruit (literally). Raspberries, strawberries, blueberries, cherries, and finally, peaches! I'm so excited to pick peaches on Sauvie Island this weekend. I hope to find some lavender too!

Summertime BBQ!
Last night I had the pleasure of attending the barbecue of a dear friend. We were celebrating her graduation from graduate school (congratulations, Monique!)
There were tons of gluten-free options (thank you, Monique!).
Some of my favorites were carrots, grilled and glazed with GF soy sauce, honey, and olive oil. A new favorite of mine will be grilled corn with miso butter and togarashi spice. So delicious!
We also enjoyed some standards, such as Polish sausage, veggie kabobs, and cabbage salad with peanut dressing.
I brought these little cake things called Salvadoran Breakfast Cakes, credit to Sasha's Global Table Adventures for the recipe (which is so good and simple to make).
I made the original version, and also created a savory version. This cakes pass the gluten test (meaning non-Celiacs think they're delicious, too!). I highly recommend you try these!
For the savory version, I added habanero salt, chives, minced garlic, and extra sharp cheddar cheese.
Happy Sunday, everyone!

Gluten-Free Foods in France
France. Beautiful, beautiful France. I had the immense pleasure of spending ten days in Provence with family. I'm happy to report a number of delicious French foods are GF, despite the abundance of gluten-filled pastries and breads. Here are a few gluten-free French foods to tempt you:
- wine! delicious wine, especially rose...a provencal specialty
- olives (black, covered in herbes de provence)
- cheese ( so many cheeses! from camembert to chevre)
- sausage (think delicious salami, with figs and pepper)
- summer fruits (cherries, berries, and melons)
- exquisite thick yogurt
- eggs (oeufs!) on everything
- macarons! with delicious fillings
Getting started...
Hi all!
After much deliberation, I've decided to start blogging about my eating adventures in Portland and around the world...
To commemorate this new blog, I'm happy to report I've finally purchased the cookbook Gluten Free Girl and the Chef. I love Shauna's blog, and I'm so excited to read the cookbook.
I look forward to posting frequently about awesome GF restaurants in Portland, new recipes I come across, and eating in different cities across the world and in the U.S.
Thanks for reading!
