Prepare the Pan. Preheat the oven to 325°F. Lightly coat a 9×5-inch loaf pan with nonstick spray, then line it with parchment paper, leaving two sides overhanging. Spray the parchment as well.
Prep the Zucchini. Grate the zucchini and measure 2 loosely packed cups. To squeeze it dry, I usually wrap the zucchini in paper towels and squeeze with all my might until very little moisture remains.
Mix the Wet Ingredients (photo 1). In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, honey, Greek yogurt, oil, and vanilla until smooth.
Add the Dry Ingredients (photo 2). Sprinkle the cinnamon, baking soda, and salt over the wet ingredients. Whisk briefly to combine. Add both flours, then stir just until the flour disappears. (Overmixing develops gluten and can make quick breads tough.)
Fold Everything Together (photo 3). Fold in the zucchini and chocolate chips.
Bake. Transfer the batter to the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top. Scatter a few extra chocolate chips over the surface. Bake for 50 to 60 minutes. Around the 50-minute mark, start checking for doneness. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs (melted chocolate doesn’t count) and the loaf should also spring back lightly when gently pressed in the center.
Cool. Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then use the parchment handles to lift it onto a wire rack. Wait until it’s completely cool before slicing. ENJOY!
Sharing some of the best things we ate in Tokyo and some gluten-free picks!
Hi friends! How are you? I hope you had a wonderful weekend and hope that my US friends had a lovely 4th of July. We went to Mt. Lemmon with friends and it was perfection.

Real talk
TBH it’s been a bit hard for me to blog lately. The nutshell version is that the blog landscape has been extra rough… I’ll share more in an upcoming post. For now, I’m trying to just enjoy a 90s summer with the girls (swimming, roller skating, time with friends, going to the mall) and reminiscing on our AMAZING trip to Japan and Korea.
We ate SO much delicious food that I still think about daily, and I wanted to share some of the highlights in today’s post
where we ate in Tokyo (and gluten-free picks!)
7-11
We had 7-11 every single day.
It’s funny because the 7-11 in the US leaves…much to be desired… but the 7-11s in Japan are packed with amazing food, desserts, snacks and drinks. Sushi, onigiri, pasta, fried chicken, sandwiches, smoothies, it was all incredible. Of course, I enjoyed the viral drinks (the C1000 is the best), multiple tuna onigiri, and everything muscat flavored.
(if you go, find these!! And send me some please lol)
We fell in love with muscat and of course we stocked up on all of the frozen muscat treats, gummies, and mints.
We all had so many onigiri 🙂 Tuna and mayo was the best!
Tsujiki fish market
The fish market is lined with hundreds of food stands and street vendors. The sashimi is the best I’ve had in my entire life. We also had a container of muscat grapes (so sweet and crunchy) and I also saw people walking around with skewers, crab legs, omelets, caramelized sweet potatoes, and sushi rolls.
We also stumbled upon a hidden gem that had fluffly gluten-free soufle pancakes.
They were sweet and light, and somehow not egg-y at all. We wanted to go back but we didn’t end up having time.
Omakase meal at Gluten-free Kushiage Sû
This meal was a top five culinary experience for me. I went to book a table in advance when I was looking for gluten-free dinner options, but it was booked out. I sent a message on IG asking to be considered if they had any last-minute cancelations, and they reached out the day before to let us know that spots had become available!
There were only seven seats in the restaurant, and everything was made fresh in house by chef Sû.
I started with a crisp and sweet glass of sparkling sake.
Everything is gluten-free and the kushiage consists of skewers. It’s a popular Japanese dish and everything is coated in Panko breadcrumbs and fried. Each flavor profile was completely different, using various meats, veggies, fish, and seasonal ingredients. This felt like an extra special treat for P and me, because usually we’re not able to eat fried or crispy things because… gluten.
Even though the skewers were fried, they were light, cripspy, not the least bit greasy, and incredibly flavorful.
Some of the highlights:
This braised beef tendon inside deep-fried tofu in dashi broth
Mackerel marinated in plum vinegar and sabayon sauce
Gluten-free crab cream croquet
The meal finished off with homemade apple ginger warabi mochi
Chef Sû is truly an artist and so incredibly talented. He does not speak English, but we used google translate with no probs at all. I highly highly recommend this experience if you’re going to Tokyo and have gluten-free friends or family members.
Ginza Senryo
We went for late-night sushi one evening and shared platters of rolls, sashimi, salad, pickled veggie, and best potato salad I’ve had in my life. I had another sparkling sake just to try the different options, you know? It’s worth mentioning here that all of the restaurant servers we encountered were so lovely; the service was above and beyond, but especially at this restaurant. The server was crouched down talking to the girls and was so sweet and friendly.
So tell me friend: what are some of your all-time favorite vacation meals?
My other top meals are:
– Alinea in Chicago
– The beach club in Mykonos
– Zucchini pasta in Sorrento
– Al pastor taco in Mexico with a Mexican coke
