Good Eats, Gluten Free Gal, New England

There is no shortage of great food purveyors around me as Fairfield County, Connecticut is endowed with access to the freshest ingredients, top-notch chefs, and knowledgeable and well-trained staff (a key component to the vulnerable food-intolerant guest). 

Washington Prime in South Norwalk (SoNo as it's fondly called) is one such gem. A new-American venue taking pride in steak, so there are consequently GF options available (at least if you're a beef-lover like me). They have a pretty substantial selection of gluten-free items, all clearly indicated by a nice red "GF" next to each, from apps to sides to main courses and desserts. This past weekend I was treated to a few of their tastiest GF offerings, and there was not one I wouldn't recommend.

It’s a (n)ice morning ❄️ for coffee in bed ☕️
And sometimes, just sometimes, I’m in front of the camera. Should we do this more often? 🤷🏻‍♀️📸
We went to the beach this weekend and pups of all ages and sizes frolicked around wearing huge grins, with tails wagging and sniffers sniffing. (Their people were pretty happy, too!) It’s a dog’s life for sure. ☺️🐕
Our tree🎄finally stopped taking water, so it’s coming down today. The standing record is early March...! (I’m not sure if that’s comical or should be embarrassing.) We have no idea where to even take it at this point, so I think we’ll cover it out back to use as fire pit kindling come spring...which by the way is 32 days away! 🌷🔥 And in the spirit of warmer weather, we’re heading to the beach this afternoon with the pup to take in the cool salt air... and of course, get super sandy and sopping wet.🐕
How are you spending the long weekend?
It’s love. ❤️

Happy Valentine’s Day! On the blog I’m sharing my favorite Valentine’s treats from @bythewaybakery, one of my fav gluten-free spots in Connecticut 🍪
A splash of spring on our first official Snow Day. ☃️ Hope all my friends in the northeast are safe and cozy tonight! 🔥
Snowy Sundays ❄️ (Ok, so this was last Sunday, but I heard there’s a little storm in the forecast for Tuesday! 😍)
It seems as though I’m on a barn-sharing kick… so just say when. 🖐🏼
Do you ever find that you’re completely enamored with something and you’re not totally sure why? Well that’s me and #barnesbarns. 👯‍♀️

On the blog I’m sharing a mini round-up of some of my faves dressed in winter’s finest! (link in bio)🌲❄️
Found our new favorite house. Mountain and valley views set on 10 acres. Now if only it were for sale... 😆
