Sober Curious Supper Club Nashville

Neighborhood: Nolensville Pike
Gojo Ethiopian is a delightful experience! I always go for the veggie platter, which is a colorful and flavorful assortment of dishes. When you order, make sure to mention that you're gluten-free. They offer a variety of vegan options, but there's one vegan dish that isn't gluten-free, so it's best to clarify your dietary needs. Also, don't forget to request gluten-free injera, the traditional Ethiopian flatbread, as the regular version contains wheat. To complement your meal, I highly recommend trying the Ethiopian Tea. It's a fragrant and soothing blend that's perfect for sipping alongside the spicy and rich flavors of the food. 
Must call ahead usually the day before and request gluten free injera, they don't have it everyday.

If you are just looking for a bowl, salad, fresh juice, or smoothie these are my recommendations:

Hey there, foodies! Are you ready for a delicious and healthy gluten-free vegan picnic? As someone who loves to eat and cook, I've got you covered with some of my favorite recipes that are perfect for a day out in the sun.

Let's start with the main course. How about a gluten-free vegan sandwich? I love to pile up my sandwich with fresh veggies like avocado, cucumber, and tomato. For protein, I like to add some grilled tofu or tempeh, and then finish it off with some gluten-free mustard or vegan mayo. It's a filling and satisfying meal that's easy to pack and enjoy on the go. My favorite Gluten Free Bread is always Bread Srsly, order it online and have it sent right to you!

Another great option for a gluten-free vegan picnic is a fresh and colorful salad. I like to make a quinoa salad with lots of veggies like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, and green onions.  For some added protein, I add in some black beans or chickpeas. Then, I dress it up with a simple vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard. Or another of my go to picnic dishes is Pasta Salad with cooked, drained and cooled gluten free pasta, fresh chopped basil and tomatoes, sprinkled with sea salt and drizzled with olive oil. It's a perfect way to get in some healthy nutrients while enjoying the outdoors.

For snacks, I like to pack some fresh fruit like sliced watermelon, berries, and grapes. I also love to make my own gluten-free vegan granola bars or energy balls. They're easy to make ahead of time and pack for the picnic. My recipe includes gluten-free quinoa flakes, nut butter, maple syrup, and some chopped nuts or dried fruit. They're the perfect snack to keep you fueled up throughout the day.

Finally, for a sweet treat, I like to make a gluten-free vegan fruit tart. It's a beautiful and refreshing dessert that's perfect for a picnic. I use a gluten-free almond flour crust, and then fill it  fresh sliced fruit like strawberries, peaches, or blueberries (usually sprinkled with a little coconut sugar for extra sweetness). Then, I top it off with a vegan cream made with coconut milk cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Now let me tell you about some local spots here in Nashville
There's nothing better than enjoying a beautiful day out in the city with a delicious picnic. So let me take you on a tour of my favorite picnic spots in Nashville.

First up is Centennial Park. This beautiful park is located in the heart of Nashville and features a full-scale replica of the Parthenon. You can lay out your blanket and enjoy a picnic while taking in the beautiful scenery. And after your meal, you can explore the park and take in some of the art and sculptures.

Another great option for a picnic spot in Nashville is Radnor Lake State Park. This park is a little further out of the city, but it's worth the drive for the stunning views and serene atmosphere. There are plenty of trails to hike, and you can spot some wildlife like deer and wild turkey. It's the perfect spot for a picnic and a day out in nature.

Finally, if you're a fan of country music, you can't miss out on a picnic at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. This iconic museum has a beautiful outdoor plaza area with plenty of space for a picnic. You can enjoy some delicious food while listening to some of the best country music hits.

So there you have it, foodies! A delicious and healthy gluten-free vegan picnic menu. Pack up your basket and head out for a day of fun in the sun with good food and good company.
Bon appetit!
