The no. 1 way to stay warm in this Chicago arctic

The no. 1 way to stay warm in this Chicago arctic tundra is to eat pasta … right?? If you haven’t been to any of the @giamiapizzabar restaurants you must … they do #glutenfree pizza and pasta and it’s all SO good. Chicago folks, worth a trip to the burbs! We did a wedding weekend dinner at Gia Mia in Geneva and thrilled to be back at another location. 😍

I got the vodka pasta with sausage and the GF penne (hold the crispy prosciutto due to cross contamination) and then we shared Brussels and the ricotta honey toast (with their GF pizza crust).

For my #Celiac fam, they cook the pizza on a separate pan but it is cooked in the same oven. I always double check on the gluten-free pasta and confirm they’ll do it in a fresh pot of water but they are always on top of it!

Any other pasta recos to try next time??

The cozzzziest spot last night and the most delici

The cozzzziest spot last night and the most delicious #glutenfree fries at my fave wine bar, @websterwinebar, in Logan Square. Do not sleep on the burger. Bunless, but comes with delightful potato crispies and a nice lettuce bed and some great dijonaise and pickles. 💕 Oh and ofc the wine 🍷🥂 an incredibly GF friendly spot! No reservations but you can generally get a seat. ✅
