Homemade Restaurant Style Sesame Chicken Recipe- Gluten Free, Egg Free, Refined Sugar Free
Something I sometimes find challenging on this super strict diet of mine is that I can’t really go out to a restaurant and get “restaurant food”. So when I figure out how to make a standard “restaurant staple” that suits my dietary needs, and isn’t too expensive, I get really excited. Sesame chicken is one […]
Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free Baked Ziti Recipe with Homemade Hazelnut Ricotta Cheese
The other day, my family was invited to a party. And were told in advance that there probably wouldn’t be anything at the party that we could eat- since it would be a pizza party with baked ziti, cakes, cookies, and a few salads… and that even though they couldn’t provide a gluten free alternative […]
Homemade Tomato Juice Recipe From Tomato Paste
I have to admit- I don’t like drinking water. But store bought juices and even homemade juices are generally pretty expensive (unless you make my fruit scrap drink), and drinks like lemonade usually either contain white sugar (which makes me sick) or unrefined sweeteners (which are expensive). But if I can have a cheap drink that […]
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, […]
Homemade Face Paint Recipe
This is a partial post- I am writing a full post with details about why I am posting this… and it will hopefully be up in a few minutes. But since I wanted this post to be google searchable, I am leaving this recipe as a separate blog post, and just linking to this recipe […]
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, […]
