One of the joys of social media includes finding out that places like Arlington Tavern now have GF macaroni and cheese. As soon as I read about it, I dreamed about the time when I would finally get to try this dish. Before going to a show at the bowl on Thursday, we headed over there. I found out that they cook the GF pasta in a clean pot and use separate, clean utensils when preparing it. They also omit the bread crumbs that typically come with their mac & cheese. The gruyere cheese made this wonderfully gooey. I think this may be my new go-to craving when it eventually gets cold here in Santa Barbara!

I ordered the Portofino tuna salad. Even though it is a small kitchen space, they prevented cross contamination by washing their hands and making my order in a clean space. It was so nice eating outside with an Arnold Palmer. They will potentially carry GF bread in the future… I will keep you all updated!
Last week, I finally got to @secretbao for lunch. Before going, I checked with the restaurant to see if they would be able to prepare anything safe for me. They have a gluten-free sauce that they can use for the fried rice, cauliflower and Japchae noodles. They also have a yuzu vinaigrette that they use for their salad items which is GF. After reconfirming the ingredients of the sauce at the restaurant and ensuring it could be made on a clean surface and with clean tools, I ordered the pork belly fried rice with the GF sauce. The pork belly was so tender and delicious. It went great with the GF yuzu white peach soda. I am so excited to try the other gluten-free items!
Dinner tonight was a rice bowl with roasted veggies, beans, corn and @iansfoods chicken meatballs. I topped it all with @tobysfamilyfoods ranch because ranch makes everything better!
We recently returned to @localmontecito with some friends for a night out. This time around, I tried the tacos. I loved the subtle heat that these had. They went great with my spicy tequila cocktail. Our table shared the roasted cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and Caesar salad. My top pick was the Brussels sprouts… they are so darn tasty!
I was so excited to hear that @lilacpatisserie added Huevos Rancheros to their breakfast menu. I had it this past week and it didn’t disappoint. The tortilla was nice and crunchy, the ingredients were all fresh and it was super filling!
Now that both kids are back in school, my husband and I enjoyed a lunch date @thegoodplow - I found out that their fryer is dedicated GF! When asking questions about the fried cauliflower tacos, I found out that the corn tortillas are warmed on the same surface as the bread and they do not have a pan that they can warm them in instead. We ended up sharing the Buddha Bowl, Kale Caesar and Crispy Brussels. My favorite item was the Brussels which were prepared with a balsamic maple reduction and topped with dates and green onions. I also enjoyed the Buddha Bowl, but could have added fried tofu to make it more filling. For dessert, I had soft-serve froyo. The cones are not GF but it was great in a cup!
