I was discussing my love of salads with my freind the other day. Salads are so refreshing and delicious and usually are filled with healthy ingredients. I could almost live off of salads. My kids’ favorite types of salads are anything with beets, as they are by far my kids’ favorite vegetable. It’s funny, but […]

Homemade Zaatar Spice Mix Recipe- Gluten Free
If I had to pick my favorite spice mix, zaatar would probably be high up on the list, if not my favorite. Middle Eastern in origin, this spice mix can be bought at any Middle Eastern grocery store, but if you’re gluten free like I am, you’ll likely need to make it at home, as […]
Golden Black Eyed Peas Recipe- Vegan, Gluten Free, Grain Free
If I had to list legumes from favorite to least favorite, black eyed peas would definitely have to be up there somewhere at the top, since they are quicker to cook, and have a very pleasant, mildly sweet taste, and a decent texture.

The other day I got a whole bunch of zucchini from a friend, and was trying to think of something different to do with them. I decided to make “beer battered” zucchini fries.

Vegan Chocolate Frosting- No Margarine or Butter- Made With Mayonnaise!
On sunday, my son had a birthday party, and as usual, I was at a loss trying to figure out how to make the frosting. We’re a dairy free home, we’d never use margarine or shortening… and so our frosting options are more limited, since it seems frostings are all butter, margarine, or shortening based. […]
Vegan, Processed Food Free, Onion Dip Recipe
I really loved onion dip growing up. My dad would make it by mixing either sour cream or mayonnaise (usually sour cream) with onion soup mix, etc. We’d dip corn chips into it, eating piles at a time… I learned that onion dip was a popular dip for vegetables and since had it many times […]
Tomato Vegetable Beef Soup Recipe- Gluten Free, Easy, Healthy
I bought a hunk of cheap meat at the grocery store, and from experience, I boiled it in the pressure cooker until soft, and then cooled and sliced up the meat and used it in various recipes. When I do that, I end up with beef broth as a by-product- the liquid in which I […]
