Eating In Italy As A Gluten-Free Vegan

Eating In Italy As A Gluten-Free Vegan

For the past two weeks, Joe and I ate our way through Italy.  Literally.  We visited Sorrento, Capri, Florence, Rome and everywhere in between – eating.  As a gluten-free vegan, eating in Italy is always challenging.   My coveted smoothies, acaí bowls and salads are nowhere to be found abroad.  Here, I share the challenges I faced when flirting with gluten and some go-to Italian meals that I put together off of restaurant menus.  While it's not easy for me to eat anywhere but in NYC or LA (they just get me!), it's doable.  If I can do it in Italy, you can do it anywhere.

Last week, my Sister-in-Law, Elizabeth, surprised me by making me the best brownies I've ever had.  Being vegan and gluten free with a serious sweet tooth, she knew just how to cheer me up after a rough week.  They're fudgey and practically melt in your mouth.  Seriously, covet this recipe.
