Asian Rice Noodle Salad Recipe- Vegan, Cheap, and Easy- With Grain Free Alternative
I had a guest coming. And had the perfect menu planned and cooked. Time was running out. And then I tasted the rice— way over salted! To the point gthat I couldn’t serve it! I was stressing out, because even though I could cook more rice in my pressure cooker in just a few minutes, […]
Sweet Potato Shepherd’s Pie Recipe- Gluten Free, Nightshade Free, Dairy Free
Last week, when I was in Kansas City, I was treated to two wonderful suppers- the first which I asked my host to post as a guest post on my blog- sweet potato lentil dal with rice, and the second was a delicious sweet potato shepherd’s pie. I’m back home now and recovering from jeg […]
The Difference Between Raw and Toasted Buckwheat
Yesterday, I stayed by my friend, H, who runs a gluten free, dairy free, processed food free household, just as I do. She was proud of herself for making buckwheat granola bars (she didn’t use my recipe for buckwheat granola bars, but another, similar one) and she loved the taste, but complained that they really […]
Guest Post- Crock Pot Lentil and Sweet Potato Daal
I love how things just seem to work out amazingly sometimes… I’ve written about certain concerns about how I’d be eating when traveling in the Midwest of the US this week for work, especially since I am on a pretty restricted diet- no gluten, dairy, processed food, soy, eggs, fish, sugar, etc… It definitely isn’t […]
Food For My Trip
Wow, clock is ticking. I am leaving for the airport in less than 2 hours… My husband always laughs at me that I pack up my whole home when I go way, but in this instance, I feel I am justified. 😀 It’s icy cold where I’ll be flying, and I’ll need to be layering […]
Curried Turnips Recipe- Vegan, Gluten Free
Curried Turnips, White Rice, and Apple Chutney I’ve mentioned a few times before on my blog that I really am not a fan of the flavor of turnips. Meaning, I don’t hate them, but they are so strongly flavored that I feel I need to do something to mask their flavor somewhat when eating them, […]
Homemade Play Dough Recipe- Gluten Free, Chemical Free
The other day my kids went over to their friend’s house and had a fun time playing with play dough, and asked to have play dough at home as well. The thing is- I prefer not to buy play dough since it is usually filled with all sorts of nasty chemicals, and all the homemade […]
Gluten Free Mushroom “Barley” Soup Recipe- With Buckwheat. Vegan Option
I grew up on mushroom barley soup. That is one of those foods that I consider to be a comfort food, evoking special warm feelings inside, of satiation, comfort, and love. I know- weird how something like certain foods affect us emotionally, but they do. The thing is- I haven’t been able to have mushroom […]
Apple Raisin Cookies Recipe- Sugar Free, Gluten Free, Vegan
It’s official. White sugar definitely gets me nauseous- I eat just a little square of chocolate, and I’ll feel queasy for hours after, if not the whole day. It’s not worth it for me to cheat even for a little bite, because I end up paying for it and suffering from it for so much […]
Chicken Potato Vegetable Stew Recipe- Gluten Free, Grain Free, Dairy Free
With this cold weather, and not venturing out of the house much, I am doing a lot of cooking, and a lot of trying out new recipes using what we have in the house… and so many of them came out so wonderfully that I wanted to share them with you. And now I have […]
