Homemade Gluten Free Vegan Soft Pretzels Recipe

I was never the biggest bread fan, so going off gluten wasn’t such a big deal for me in that sense. Pasta? Eh, gluten free stuff isn’t perfect, but it’s nearly as good if fresh, and I haven’t been lacking in that area in the 14 years since going gluten free. Pizza was one of […]
Creamy Lemon Fennel Pasta with Edamame (Gluten-Free & Vegan Options)

The credit for this recipe goes entirely to my friend, Samantha, even though she never made it, nor did she give me the recipe. A little while back Samantha ate at a restaurant near her, and she was so delighted by the dish she ordered, that she wrote about it and its flavors in depth. […]
Allergy Friendly, Vegan Ceasar Salad and Dressing Recipe

Homemade Copycat Peach Fuze Tea Recipe – Easy DIY Iced Tea

A bunch of years ago, I shared my recipe for my homemade version of Lipton’s lemon iced tea I grew up with. It is great and refreshing, but, to be honest, I didn’t remember to make it for a long time. Lately, my kids have been really obsessed with Peach flavor Fuze Tea and I knew […]
Fresh and Easy Mango Salsa Recipe — Gluten Free, Paleo, Allergy Friendly, and Frugal

I wrote in my recent post that I really, really, really love mangos. I don’t think I ever tasted something with mango I didn’t like. When my sister Violet was younger, she hated mangoes, and I never understood it, didn’t understand what there was to even dislike about this luscious fruit. She eventually “came to […]
