Travel tip for anyone with food allergies or dietary restrictions 👇✈️

Having a kitchen where you’re staying can give you a lot more control over what you eat while you travel. At Suburban Studios, part of Choice Hotels Extended Stay, you can cook right in your room and even have groceries delivered so you don’t have to spend part of your trip shopping.

I made this easy meatless stuffed pepper skillet that happens to be vegetarian AND gluten-free. 🌱 Having the flexibility to make meals that work for you is just one more way to stay in your rhythm while you’re away from home.

Broaden your horizons and your options: Check out Suburban Studios, part of Choice Hotels Extended Stay, for your next trip!
