Highlights

I haven’t been taking many food photos lately (and haven’t eaten much worth photographing) so I’m pulling from the archives today! these nachos are from my spring break trip in Colorado - we went to Vail for an afternoon and tried out @elsegundovail ‼️ these nachos were sooo good and so was my chicken taco - highly recommend if you’re traveling there! • #vailfood #vailcolorado #glutenfree #glutenfreeeats #glutenfreefood #glutenfreefoodie #glutenfreefoods #celiacdisease #celiacawarenessmonth #celiacawareness #celiacblogger #celiac #celiacstrong #celiacsafe #celiactivist

low quality photo, but worth it for a GF fenway frank 🫶 so happy that they have this GF stand at fenway this year! while it’s a bit of a walk if you’re sitting on the other side of the park, it’s worth it for a classic ballpark dog in my opinion‼️‼️ definitely check it out if you’re in Boston and get to a game!! • #bostonfood #glutenfreefood #glutenfreefoods #glutenfreeeats #glutenfreefoodie #celiacdisease #glutenfreeboston #bostonglutenfree #fenwaypark #fenwayfrank #ballparkhotdogs #glutenfreebread #celiacsafe #celiacblogger #celiacawarenessmonth #celiacdiseaseawareness #celiactivist

one of the best meals we had during our 36 hours in Portland, ME was at @thesinfulkitchen ‼️ it was recommended by both @kenoringer & @mrs.geefreeliving - almost every menu item is offered GF - including waffles!! i tried the croque monsieur bc its one of my fav sandwiches and it was delicious. my dad got the GF breakfast burger and we shared the cinnamon roll waffles - they were mind blowing. need another trip to Portland just to go back! • #bostonfoodies #bostoneats #portlandmaine #sinfulkitchen #glutenfreeeats #glutenfreefood #glutenfreefoodies #glutenfreeblogger #glutenfreetravel #celiactravel #celiacawareness #celiacawarenessmonth #celiacdisease #celiacdiseaseawareness #celiacdiseaseliving #celiactivist

happy celiac disease awareness month!💚 i haven’t been as active here as I’d like because real life has just been crazy…I graduate college on Sunday! i started this account as a junior in high school and it’s crazy how much it has changed my life - it has given me friends, a job, and changed my entire outlook on celiac disease. for such a long time i resented my diagnosis and felt like such a burden, and now I can’t imagine my life without it. I’ve got so much exciting stuff coming up in life (esp re: @jambs_gfk so keep your eyes out!) and I’m eternally grateful for the life I get to live. i’ve got so much food from the last six months to share with y’all, so get ready! this pic is from @luckypigeonbrewing where we stopped when we were in Portland last weekend. a dedicated GF brewery is @jambs_gfk ideal place, and all my friends and I loved the beers, so def check it out if you’re in the area! ❤️‍🔥 (p.s. thank you all for sticking around for all these years and keeping up with me, it means more than you’ll ever know!!) • #celiacdisease #celiacdiseaseawareness #celiacawarenessmonth #celiacblogger #celiaclife #celiacawareness #celiacstrong #celiaclife #celiacsafe #glutenfreebeer #glutenfreebrewery #glutenfreelife #glutenfreeliving #glutenfreetravel #celiactravel #celiactivist #celiacfriendly #glutenfreeeats #glutenfreelifestyle

i’m a homebody through & through, but one of my favorite parts of traveling is EATING. when I was in amsterdam in december, we tried the famous @mannekenfriet and they were 🔥🔥🔥. i saw @no.gluten.gal post about this spot and since they just make fries in the fryers, they’re GF! their staff had a list of what sauces were safe, which was so helpful. if you’re headed to amsterdam, this is a must stop!! • #glutenfreefood #glutenfreefoodie #glutenfreefoods #glutenfreefoodporn #glutenfreetravel #glutenfreetreats #glutenfreelife #celiactravel #coeliac #coeliaclife #celiacsafe #celiacdisease #celiacdiet #coeliacfoodie #coeliactravel #glutenfreeeurope

I was looking at my camera roll this morning and I realized I have SO many things I never shared from my semester in London…starting off with @nandosuk 🫶 I LOVED Nando’s when I was living in London because they have amazing allergy protocols - a manager must take your order and it comes out with an allergy flag! my favorite thing to get was mild wings with peri peri fries and a vegetable, this time it was peas. i love that so many chains in the UK and Europe offer safe GF options ❤️ • #nandoschicken #nandosperiperi #nandossauce #glutenfreefood #glutenfreetravel #glutenfreetraveler #celiactravel #celiactraveler #celiacdisease #celiacdiseaseawareness #celiacdiseaseliving #coeliac #coeliaclife #coeliaclifestyle #glutenfreefoods #glutenfreefoodshare #glutenfreerestaurant #glutenfreechain #celiacsafe #allergyfriendly #allergyfriendlyfood

first time making pesto eggs was a success! put them on two slices of @canyonglutenfree sweet hawaiian bread, plus some parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes and @mikeshothoney 🫶 honestly they didn’t blow me away, but they were a fun thing to switch up my breakfast, since I make the same two things almost every day. i used the @traderjoesglutenfree kale & cashew pesto, which I’m obsessed with right now! • #bostonfoodies #bostoneats #bostoneater #bostonfoodjournal #bostonfoodgram #glutenfreebreakfast #glutenfreebread #glutenfreemeal #pestoeggs #pestorecipe #glutenfreeeats #celiacstrong #celiacblogger #celiacdisease #celiaclife #celiacliving #celiaclifestyle

long time no post, but i’m back with this 🔥 greek wrap I had yesterday! i was in connecticut visiting my boyfriend for the weekend, so we went to @gansettstorrs for lunch. they have GF wraps & you can note that you have an allergy! this greek wrap with feta, banana peppers, grilled chicken, tomatoes, cucumbers, red onion, lettuce & greek dressing was soooo delicious! will definitely be back to try more of their wraps 🥰 • #glutenfreefood #glutenfreeeats #glutenfreefoodie #glutenfreelife #glutenfreeliving #glutenfreewraps #glutenfreelunch #celiacdisease #celiaclife #celiacawareness #celiacfood #celiacfriendly #celiacdiet

a happy girl & her gluten-free fish & chips! 🍟🐟 i was in london for four months, and @mayfairchippy was by far my favorite gluten-free fish and chips there! they have a separate fryer, and even have GF calamari which was incredible! my friend ordered the regular fish & chips which she also loved. i highly recommend checking this spot out if you’re in London - make a res because it’s a small spot and fills up quick! • #celiactravel #celiactravels #celiacdisease #coeliacdisease #coeliacdiet #coeliactravel #coeliacfriendly #glutenfreefood #glutenfreefoodie #glutenfreetravel #glutenfreelife #glutenfreeeats #glutenfreeengland #glutenfreeeurope #gffood #gffoodie #celiacawarenessmonth #celiacawareness #fishandchips #gffishandchips #glutenfreefishandchips

allergy-friendly easter bark

Spring has sprung, and Easter is around the corner…which means it’s time to make Easter desserts! To make this Easter bark, I used their limited edition individually wrapped holiday squares, and they were perfect. You could truly add whatever you’d like to your Easter bark. Get out all of your bark toppings, and prepare them as necessary (crush up pretzels, etc)Place 3/4 of your chocolate in a microwave safe bowl, and microwave in 30 second intervals until fully melted, stirring often.

a gluten-free guide to the philadelphia suburbs

I loved living close enough to the city to prompt day trips, but also enough in the suburbs to enjoy my runs along the stream in the woods. When I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease, I stopped going to a lot of my favorite local restaurants because of their limited gluten-free options. However, I discovered new favorites all over Chester County and the Philadelphia suburbs, and I’m going to share them all with you today! If you know me at all, you know that Ron’s is one of my favorite restaurants on Earth…this sounds dramatic, but it seriously is.

gluten-free ice cream: the flavors you’ve been searching for

But then there’s those flavors that you just can never find gluten-free, and I know you know Cookies and cream was my favorite flavor before I went gluten-free, so I’ve been on the hunt for a GF version of it and others for years. 2020 was rough for a lot of reasons, but one good thing that came out of it was Ben & Jerry’s getting many of their flavors to be certified gluten-free. I have also heard a ton about the So Delicious brand, which makes a huge assortment of GF and DF ice cream in rare flavors like cookie dough and cookies and cream.

college + celiac part 1: the college search

In most cases, students will spend at least a year eating food provided by the school in the dining halls, meaning it is important that there are Celiac-safe options. Against my will, my mom would often ask in front of the group about what kind of gluten-free options the dining halls offered for gluten-free students. Usually, their emails and contact information is listed on the school’s website, and this can be a great resource for learning more about the school’s gluten-free options. What gluten-free options are offered by the school’s dining services?
