Balsamic Green Beans and Tofu Recipe — Gluten Free, Vegan, Allergy Friendly

When I’m hungry and short on time I sometimes throw together a quick stir fry. Minute steak and frozen veggies or quick cooking vegetables is super quick, and chicken breast cubes instead of minute steak is also quick cooking and can help me have a meal ready to eat relatively quickly. One day I saw […]

Scrumptious Restaurant Style Potato Wedges Recipe

I wanted to make a fancy dinner the other day. I decided to do it in the style of a certain type of restaurant locally, and one of the things on the menu there is usually a type of potato that is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. I went to Google […]

Gluten Free Vegan Banana Bread Recipe — Allergy Friendly and Frugal

When I have overripe bananas I usually make smoothies and don’t have any left for banana bread, but recently I had a lot of bananas overripe at once and therefore had enough to use for baking without affecting our smoothie making capabilities. My problem with most banana bread recipes is they call for a specific […]

Gluten Free Egg Free Beef Egg Rolls Recipe- Allergy Friendly and Frugal

I shared in my recent post that, after missing egg rolls for so many years, since becoming gluten free, when my gluten free friend came over we made gluten free egg rolls. The first step was making gluten free vegan egg roll wrappers. Here is a link to that recipe for egg roll and wonton […]

Homemade Gluten Free Vegan Egg Roll and Wonton Wrappers Recipe — Egg Free and Allergy Friendly

My friend Zoe and I have both been off of gluten for ten years. Something neither of us have had during that time was egg rolls. We’ve had spring rolls made with rice paper wraps, but it just isn’t the same. Perhaps they make gluten free egg roll wrappers available to buy, but I don’t […]

White Rice: a Staple Food That Often Goes Unnoticed — With Recipes

I grew up eating a lot of rice. As in multiple meals a week. My father has a sensitive stomach and rice was his “medicine” allowing him to manage without stomach pain as long as he ate it regularly, and so, it was a staple in our home. Being gluten free myself, we have a […]

Thai Coconut Rice Pudding with Jasmine Rice, a South Asian Dessert

My kids love rice pudding; it is something I can always agree to get them to eat. But my rice pudding is somewhat different than this recipe, and I can’t wait to try this Thai version of rice pudding. It looks like a terrific gluten free vegan comfort food.  With over 1.7 billion people, millennia […]

Gluten Free Egg Free Cheesecake Recipe — Easy, Allergy Friendly, and Delicious

I made a delicious gluten-free egg-free cheesecake recently but one of my kids was disappointed that I didn’t make enough for them to have seconds, so I decided to make it again especially since it wasn’t hard.  Of course the first time I didn’t write down the recipe, so I had to do this from […]

Penniless Dad’s “Moussaka” Recipe – AKA Leftover Surprise

Apologies for all the food purists out there, as this is by far a really non traditional version of moussaka, a dish traditionally eaten in the Middle East and the Balkans. The most well known version of moussaka is the Greek one, made with layers of eggplant, ground meat (generally lamb) in tomato sauce, and […]

Gluten Free Egg Free Chicken Schnitzel Recipe – Allergy Friendly Fried Breaded Chicken Cutlets

Schnitzel. It has many names and variations around the world, as well as many different ways to eat it. But one thing they all have in common- dip it in egg then breadcrumbs and then fry. That’s all very well and good, but what about people who can’t eat gluten? Ok, gluten free breadcrumbs or […]
