We recently took a little trip to Chicago between Christmas and New Years. It was a quick adventure to the Windy City before the winter weather gets too crazy and a nice change of scenery before the new year, new routine, (and wedding festivities) begin! Here’s a little round up of where we ate and what we think you should know about each place regarding our food allergies/intolerance, along with some fun places we visited!

I started off the year standing in Times Square with the love of my life, freezing and doused in rain watching confetti fall from a skyscraper. Then I sat in a homeless man’s pee puddle on the subway. Highs and lows, people. Life has lots of highs and lows. And boy do they come at you fast.

One of my absolute favorite treats at Thanksgiving and Christmas growing up was always pumpkin bread. Mom would bake it from a Pillsbury Pumpkin Quick Bread & Muffin Mix and it was delicious! Gluten-free breads just generally don’t bake well in my experience. In recent years, I discovered Trader Joe’s Gluten-Free Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix. I love to buy up a few boxes when this yummy seasonal mix hits the shelves in early fall.

Unfortunately, most thick soups like I desired call for flour and are therefore full of gluten. But I found some gluten-free flour I had used for other recipes and decided I wanted to experiment with a loaded potato soup recipe. Unfortunately, most thick soups call for flour and are therefore full of gluten.
