I have to admit I have never liked sauerkraut. I don’t even like looking at it most of the time, much less smelling it! My husband’s family serves it every year at Thanksgiving after they’ve cooked it for hours in a crock pot. It is very brown and limp looking and I simply can’t stand…
I feel like I am somewhat on a quest; a quest to find food that anyone can eat, no matter what their food restrictions may include. This is now my second attempt at a recipe for SLICE-ABLE and GRATE-ABLE, dairy-free, casein-free and soy-free cheese. Unfortuanately it doesn’t cover people with nut or cashew allergies, but…
Did you you know that it used to be common practice to soak flour in cultured milk, buttermilk or cream to make baked goods such as pancakes, muffins and cakes? For people who are allergic to dairy products, water with a little lemon juice or vinegar can be used. Why soak the flour? As many…
Like any mom with a child with food restrictions combined with a dose of pickiness, I have been looking for new recipes to feed my son who can’t eat dairy products. I am also allergic to wheat and gluten so I end up making baked goods wheat and gluten free so I can eat them…
Tonight I made a simple but very yummy dinner, inspired by the potatoes and zucchinis in my fridge and the lemon balm in my garden. I’ll make this post quick since it’s been a long day but I was inspired to give the simple and easy recipes for this meal: The Menu: Turkey Sausage Patties…
I found this recipe for sliceable dairy-free cheese a while back on a forum and finally made it the other day. It seemed like every time I looked at it, it just seemed too complicated but I think that was just a first impression. It is actually very simple and tastes pretty darn good. It…
There is something so wonderful about going to the Farmer’s market and looking at all the beautiful, home-grown produce, herbs, plants and flowers for sale. If you can’t have your own garden, I think this is the closest you can get to incredibly fresh and beautiful food. A couple of weeks ago when I went…
I talked with Diane Eblin today from The Whole Gang. We had a great little chat and had some laughs about the discoveries we make in the kitchen. We both agreed it takes a little adventure to delve into cooking some unknown or unusual foods. But I think we would agree that this is where…
Pecan Crusted Amaranth Bread, Grain and Egg-free But what if it doesn’t turn out? I am usually a very experimental cook, but I do find myself stalling sometimes; stalling to try something new in cooking or baking. The reason is simple; it’s entering into the territory of the “unknown” and that little question, hiding in…
