Then it was stir fry night. I love my $4 wok from Ikea. If you have a chance buy one – makes cooking stir fry so much easier!
I picked up a jar of Nutella during my last grocery trip. I have been enjoying it on toast and waffles for breakfast this week! Chocolate in a spreadable form – ummm YES!
Our deviation from the menu was dinner at Red Robin. I heart being able to eat a cheeseburger with a Gluten Free bun and fries.
I have a non- GF friendly conference this week and a flight coming up in a month. So I wanted some on the go Gluten Free meals on hand. I turned to GoPicnic to meet the need. They don’t have to be refrigerated and they are a complete meal in a small little box. The price isn’t bad but shipping is expensive so if you can find them in a local store buy them. They have GF and gluten versions.
Saturday we had friends over for a cook out. Love grilled chicken!
Sunday night we visited a local restaurant for dinner. They did have GF bread available for sandwiches and said they could grill a steak on foil to avoid cross contamination. I decided to go with a salad and baked potato to be simple.
This week is full of work, a conference, and chasing kiddos. I’m also heading up to DC for a quick trip Friday and Saturday. So if you have any GF suggestions for Northern VA, DC, or Maryland I’d love to hear them!

Pam,
I have LOTS of recommendations for Gluten Free in the DC area! There is a great place in Fairfax called “Choices by Shawn” – they have THE BEST gluten free carrot cake. The first thing they ask when you get to the hostess station is “Is anyone in your party dining gluten free?” – Love it!
The Great American restaurants (Mike’s in Springfield, VA; Coastal Flats in Fairfax Corner; Sweetwater in Centreville) all have gluten free menus and was a favorite of mine before I was gluten free so LOVE that!
Chef Geoff’s in DC is great- they have an extensive gluten free menu.
Pam says
Carey!
Thanks for the awesome suggestions!! I’ll let you know if I’m able to hit any of your GF spots!
You Rock!

They stock a few varieties of the go picnic meals at my Target – even had them on sale when I got them a couple weeks ago š just watch out for cross contamination, some of the stuff they include is processed on shared equipment!
