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. Because of their basic flavor profile, I especially enjoy black eyed peas […]
Beer Battered Zucchini Fries Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan
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. Of course, what I made wasn’t really beer battered, because beer is gluten usually, and we’re a gluten free home. But there […]
Sneaky Beef and Lentil Spaghetti Bolognese Recipe- Dairy Free- Vegan and Legume Free Options
I try to stick to publishing one blog post a day at most, because I have so many days when I don’t get around to publishing a post, so it seems silly to have 2 posts one day, but… I’m breaking that rule now because I have so many recipes that people have asked me […]
Home Remedy For Coughs and Colds- Recipe
I woke up the other day from a nap with a really sore throat, cough, and runny nose. Bad cold, in the middle of August!!! I had no time to be sick! I had plans!!! I was trying desperately to figure out something to do that would help me recuperate as fast as possible. Scouring […]
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 […]
Red Lentil Tomato Dal Recipe- Gluten Free, Vegan, GAPS Legal
The other day I was seriously uninspired when it came to supper. No exageration. Usually I don’t mind cooking, but my kitchen was pretty bare, and I didn’t really have any vegetables in the house other than tomatoes, and those were on the sofer end and needed to be cooked to eat. I had no […]
Gluten Free Ginger Snaps Recipe- Vegan, Refined Sugar Free Options
I really wanted to make cookies. Gingersnaps in particular, but any would be good. But I just had coconut sugar to work with, and wanted to make sure that the cookie recipe I used would work well with coconut sugar. (Not every single cookie recipe works well with coconut sugar. The ones that rely on […]
Making Wine for Nearly Nothing
We’re wine drinkers in our family. We love it, and have at least a few times a week. Last time I took some wine, I realized we were almost out of wine! Today when I was at the grocery store, I nearly bought some wine for our family to use this week, because it is […]
