Date Night: P.F. Chang's & Kara's Cupcakes

If you're heading over to Monterey for a date night and don't want to put much thought into worrying about what to eat, you might consider going to P. F. Chang's at the Del Monte Shopping Center.

The nice thing about P.F. Chang's is that they have a dedicated gluten-free menu within their regular menu (so you don't even have to ask!). Just be sure to tell your server that you are ordering from the gluten-free section. You will also get the same table sauces the rest if your party gets, but the gluten-free versions. If they don't bring your gluten-free sauces automatically, just ask and they'll bring them right away.

I should've taken a picture of the food, not just the menu! But I'm learning as I go. :-) 

Tonight, I had the Mongolian beef with brown rice. It was delicious! Mike took a bite and said mine was better than his (he ordered the regular Kung Pao chicken). 

After dinner, walk over two stores to Kara's Cupcakes. They offer a small selection of gluten-free cupcakes! 

Tonight, I enjoyed a gluten-free chocolate cupcake with white frosting and coconut. I have to say it was the BEST gluten-free cupcake I've ever had. Gluten-free baked goods can be tricky. This place rocks! 

Just to note: While I am allergic to egg, I still can enjoy a small amount if it, such as in a Snickers bar or a brownie. If I have the equivalent of two or more whole eggs all at once, then I end up getting an itchy, blistery rash.
