Hungarian Noodles and Cabbage Recipe- Kraut Pletzel, Haluski, Kaposztas Kocka- Gluten Free, Vegan Options
Ever have a recipe whose name gets lost in translation? My (great) Grandma Betty was Hungarian, and she used to cook a lot of traditional Hungarian dishes. My dad learned a lot of his recipes from her, which he made for us growing up (in addition to his General Tso, seitan, sake, and other very […]
Homemade French Dressing Recipe- Entirely From Scratch- Refined Sugar Free, Vegan, and Delicious!
I feel like such a food nerd sometimes, when getting a recipe right gets me so giddy I feel like doing a little dance. But I must admit, that’s how I felt after making this recipe today. I have a guest coming for supper who likes “normal” food, so I’d decided to make a simple […]
Raw Chocolate Sprouted Buckwheat Granola Recipe- Nut Free, Refined Sugar Free, Vegan Option, Gluten Free, Oat Free
I’ve written before about my issue with breakfast- I don’t necessarily have energy to be cooking in the morning (sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t), so often I just end up relying on bought cereal- generally rice crispies- and milk or non dairy milk for our breakfast. The thing is- bought cereal isn’t so cheap, […]
Super Simple Bread- Gluten Free and Wheat Flour Recipes- Vegan and Sugar Free
I had another one of those long days today. Great, but long. I was out of the house and on my feet from early this morning, and only came back after dark. I almost left you without a post for today, but then decided to maybe just post something simple. And what better than this […]

I think other than various bread recipes, vegan cheese sauce is probably the food I have the most recipe variations for on my blog. This is number five. See, the thing is- when you just are buying cheese, you have a variety of cheeses to choose from, and you can pick the one you like […]
Asian Inspired Charred Eggplant Salad Recipe- Baba Ghanoush Take Off
Did I ever mention before that eggplants are cheap locally, and I’m always trying to find new ways to use them? Oh yea- probably about a million times already… Are you bored of hearing about eggplant? Probably not as bored as I sometimes get of eggplant. Yes, I do love eggplant, but I get bored […]
Djaj wa Rishta- Syrian Chicken and Spaghetti- Gluten Free Option
Unfortunately pasta dishes are known to not be the most photogenic. Oh well, at least it is delicious! My family members sometimes “complain” that since I make such a large variety of foods, and am always experimenting in the kitchen, when there is one food I make that they really like, they have no idea […]
Gluten Free Dairy Free Moussaka- Greek Eggplant Casserole- With Vegan and Paleo Options
Though I love eggplant, my family, unfortunately, are not such fans. I mean, they’ll eat it if I make it in something that is otherwise tasty, other than my one pickier eater. But eggplant is often on sale for very cheap round these parts, and I don’t want to not be able to take advantage […]
How to Make a Homemade Firetruck Birthday Cake- Without All That Processed Food Junk
A great birthday cake can truly transform a birthday party from fun to fantastic. If, like myself, you try to stay away from processed foods, especially margarine/shortening and food coloring, you might feel bad, thinking your kids will be suffering, since they can’t have those “super cool” cakes that others have at their birthday parties.
