My Sister's Bachelorette + The Woodhouse Lodge: Greenville, NY

My sister got married in November, but before that we went to Greenville, NY for a weekend to celebrate her bachelorette party. We kept the group pretty small. Originally we were supposed to go to South Carolina, but last minute had to cancel and switch to an in-state get away. The Woodhouse Lodge was incredibly accommodating. I added the link below to their website.

The first night we got their, they prepared a wine tasting and cheese pairing for us. We were able to sit on their patio, outside their tavern, which was decorated with strings of lights, wooden tables and a fire pit. We tasted 3 different wines, and their cheese pairings.

This was inside their super cozy tavern

On Saturday, we went for a hike during the day and then got some lunch and beers afterwards. We stopped by The Tasting Lab which actually was INCREDIBLY accommodating for dietary needs. They had gluten free ciders which we tried a few of. They also had gluten free buns. Their menu is super mix and match. You are able to pick your toppings, your protein and then your bun. I got an impossible burger on a gluten free bun.

They don't have a website but if you're ever in Greenville, NY this was definitely a place I'd go back to.

Saturday night, The Woodhouse Lodge did a private dinner and wine pairing for us. It was in a private room that had a full working kitchen, dining room and couches with a fireplace. It was overall decorated impeccably. We chatted with the owner for a bit and she said her and her husband took over a motor lodge a few years ago and went room to room updating and decorating. It was fantastic.

10/10. Would recommend. Would return.

Cauliflower Korma And Gluten Free Naan

Also a #meatless option with this Cauliflower Korma from @deepindiankitchen! This dish is right up my alley; Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Gluten-Free, Peanut-Free, Plant-Based, Sulfite-Free, and Vegetarian! #DeepIndianKitchen Cauliflower Korma is a traditional Indian recipe with cauliflower, beans, potatoes, and corn cooked in a dairy-free creamy coconut sauce with freshly ground cardamom and served over Cumin Basmati Rice. It's perfect for #meatless Mondays if you're just looking for a quick vegetarian meal, or honestly, if you're just looking for a dinner that's easy to heat up but tastes like its been cooking all day... basically 10/10 would absolutely make again.

Deep Indian kitchen also has their own naan but I paired it with my homemade gluten free one!

Gluten Free Naan

Ingredients:

3/4-1 cup fat free greek yogurt

1 cup gluten free flour

1 tbsp Parsley

1 tbsp diced Onions

1 tsp fresh minced garlic

Directions:

1. Dice up approx 2 tbsp of onions and cook with garlic for approx 3-4 minutes.

2. Add onions and garlic to a separate bowl. Mix in gluten free flour, parsley and yogurt. Dough should be moist but not too sticky.

3. Form 1 ball of dough. Cut in half and with your hands create 2 flat naan pieces.

4. In a cast iron skillet, cook the naan for 5-6 minutes on on side, flip, and cook for another 5-6 minutes on the other side. Naan will start to turn brown and crispy right before it is time to flip over.

5. Remove from skillet, set aside and serve with your choice of Indian food.
