Following My Dreams

You know that phrase, “Follow your dream”‘? Well, I’ve officially decided to grab the bull by the horns and pursue a dream I’ve had since elementary school. When I got a poem of mine published in an anthology in fourth grade, I wanted, more than anything, to see my name in print again. For years I […]

Tomato Chutney Recipe- Sugar Free

The last time I went out to eat, it was to a  tiny little vegan Indian restaurant. The food there was delicious, and gluten free, and cheap, for a restaurant, anyhow. But no matter how cheap the food was there, cooking from scratch is nearly always cheaper than eating out (assuming you’re making the same dish as […]

Carrot and Celery Crock Pot Risotto Recipe- Dairy Free

My husband doesn’t mind when I make rice, but honestly, he just prefers mushy food. (I stopped asking him to make noodles when he’d always purposely overcook them because he “prefers them that way.”) It probably comes as no surprise to you, then, that my husband, therefore, thinks risotto rice is the best type of […]

Gluten Free Vegan Lentil Falafel with Tahini Sauce Recipe

In an effort to keep my grocery costs down, I try to make lots of legume dishes, as they’re the cheapest type of protein. But honestly, after a lot of beans and lentils I get bored and like to mix things up a bit so I and my kids don’t get sick of them. This […]

Gluten Free Brownies Recipe

For those of you on a gluten free diet and looking for good gluten free recipes calling for minimal processed ingredients, I’ll let you in on a little secret- look at Passover recipes, especially ones labeled “non gebrokts” as the first are most of the time gluten free, and the latter are always gluten free.

Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream Recipe- Sugar Free

 I made this really awesome chocolate ice cream last week. Totally vegan, chemical free, soy free, and sugar free. Oh, and did I mention it doesn’t require an ice cream maker? I’m still recovering from Anneliese’s hospital stay, so I’m going to keep this short and share a recipe instead of a longer post. P.S. […]

Gazpacho Recipe- Made From Scratch

My teacher once told us a story about when he once tried to make gazpacho. He’d heard that gezpacho is simply “blended salad”, so when his wife was away he put all the vegetables in the fridge in the food processor and ended up with a disgusting mess… No, gazpacho isn’t made by blending up every […]
