Gluten Free Italy Guide

I spent two glorious weeks in Italy filled with the best gluten free food I have ever had and I will never be the same again! Check out all

don’t know how this one didn’t make it to the feed yet but it’s one of my all time favorite breakfast prep options! change it up with whatever protein you like (@uswellnessmeats bacon is the best imo!) and swap up the veggies with whatever is in season!

of course a high quality olive oil like @kosterina takes it to the next level!

comment “breakfast” and I’ll send you the recipe!

bits & bites of the first trimester!

I was nauseas 24/7 so I always had to be snacking! @sweetlorens breakfast biscuits, @threewishes fruity cereal, and @madegoodfoods star puffed crackers kept me sane!

when it came to meals I craved meat and carbs! many dinners were pasta bowls with @amylufoods meatballs or a burger bowl with @uswellnessmeats ground beef!

Pancake bowls with @kingarthurbaking protein pancake mix were & still are a staple!

Luckily stumbled upon @vitalpursuit during a Target run and Im convinced this baby is part pizza at this point lol

Happy to be out of the first trimester trenches & enjoying food again!

puppy chow or muddy buddies? seems like the answer depends on where you grew up but either way I think we can all agree that it’s an irresistible snack!

had to put a little Valentine’s Day spin on one of my favorite treats!

recipe is linked in my bio + up on @foodsocial.io! 💝

im gonna be that person — this is not the Super Bowl match up I wanted to see 😭 so instead I’ll be drowning my sorrows in the cheesiest + spiciest gluten free pizza bites!

the inspiration for this recipe comes from @kosterina spicy red pepper Olive oil! If you haven’t yet tried any of the olive oils from Kosterina, lemme tell ya, you’re missing out! truly some of the best olive oil I’ve ever had!

comment “pizza” and I’ll send you the recipe!

p.s. 85% of the ingredients can’t be purchased on the @foodsocial.io market so make sure to check that out + support some incredible small businesses!

p.p.s. go team Olive Oilers!!

in 2024 I feel like started to find my groove as a creator! I felt more comfortable in front of the camera, created recipes I didn’t know I could come up with, mastered my gluten free sourdough, and started sharing other aspects of my life I used to be nervous to share!

social media is the most infuriating and incredible place to be all in one and im so excited to keep creating & sharing in 2025!

i recently discovered that if you google “gluten free russian tea cakes” that this is one of the top recipes that shows up!

all i know is that my Nana would be so proud because she taught me this recipe! i miss her even more during christmas time but making a batch of her tea cakes helps me feel closer to her! 🥹

i hope you love these as much as i (and apparently google) do!

if you don’t feel like googling it, you can comment “tea cakes” and I’ll send you the recipe!

Have you heard of the viral “marry me” recipes? Well this is my version — Slow Cooker Beef Chuck Ragu!

This recipe is the ultimate comfort meal, is so easy to make, but the finished product is SO impressive!

I used my favorite beef chuck from @uswellnessmeats to make this divine dinner! I paired it with a dry red wine and lots of herbs for the most delicious dinner!

Don’t quote me on it but im pretty sure this recipe will have anyone saying “I do!”

recipe is up on @foodsocial.io but if you comment “pasta” I’ll send you the recipe directly!
