First, my apologies for not getting the announcement regarding our Ingredient-Challenge Monday out this past weekend, second, I apologize for the overall delay in today’s post (I would have liked to have had this up hours ago!)…that being said, I am happy to be able to share this Ingredient-Challenge Monday inspired recipe with you today. […]
Hearty Vegetable Beef Soup (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Vegan Option Noted)
This time of the year I find myself turning to soup for various reasons. Soup warms from the inside out. Soup makes me feel better when the sniffles are too much. Soup is very filling for relatively few calories. Soup is quick. Soup is a great way to get my children (and husband) to eat […]
Rainbow Smoothie
I haven’t done a blog in over a week. After the busy holiday schedule where I was posting 2-3 times a week, this seems like a big lull. Having lost my grandfather the night of my last post, frankly, I just wasn’t up for another post last week. The service was beautiful and it was […]
Ingredient-Challenge Monday, Vegan Garlic Kale Chips
I love leafy greens. Seriously. Spinach, Mustard, Turnip, Kale…love love love! My garden was loaded with greens this year and my only wish is that we had more to enjoy! It surprises and somewhat saddens me that many people look at greens and freeze up; clueless as to how to add these striking gems to […]
Fruit Sweetened Jalapeño Pomegranate Jam — Ingredient Challenge Monday (One Day Late)
I mentioned before that I am a bit of a cookbook addict. You know, I have come to realize I am a bit of a blogging addict as well. Not just my own blog, but others too! I often derive ideas for my gluten free and dairy free recipes from other non-gluten free or dairy […]
Magic Soup (Simple Egg Drop Recipe) (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free)
After 11 hours of sleep last night (unheard of in my world), I awoke not only feeling about 80% myself, but also to discover two of my children feeling ill as well. So a day I hoped to spend making cookies and pomegranate jam, turned into a day of well tested remedies and hopefully the […]
Vegan Salted Cayenne Dark Chocolate Almond Fudge (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free)
Gourmet chocolates have brought us all kinds of zany combinations. Chocolate covered fruit, gummy bears, peppermint sticks or even biscotti…each and every combination has its own unique taste and texture, each just as exquisite as the next. Nearly two years ago I had my first taste of pepper infused chocolate with a hint of sea […]
Vegan Sweetened Condensed Milk (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Casein Free, Refined Sugar Free)
Sweetened condensed milk is one of those coveted items, especially by those of us who cannot have milk. When used for deserts, candies, cakes, even hot drinks, there is a magical depth of flavor that occurs which no other addition seems to bring to the table. My recipe for sweetened condensed milk gives you all […]
Pecan Pie (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Casein Free, Corn Free)
Have you ever had those weeks where it feels as if you have not had the opportunity to sit but for a moment the entire week? For me, it seems as if I will scarcely have a moment to sit this entire month, then I realized earlier today that this month is somewhat of a […]
Clementine Pecan Cranberry Sauce (Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Vegan Option)
Sorry for being off the map for the last few days. This weekend my husband and I were off the map, quite literally, camping and hiking throughout no man’s land, and it has taken a couple of days to get things back in order. As happy as I am to be back, I must say […]
