Allergic Solution All Purpose Mix

admin May 5, 2014 0 Comments
Allergic Solution is a food company that makes allergy free foods. I first wrote about their baking mixes here. They recently developed an all-purpose baking mix and sent me a package to bake with. (I was not compensated for this and my opinions are my own). First some basics; this blend contains no rice, but rather sorghum, tapioca and navy bean. I have never seen a navy bean flour, so this was...

I love cookbooks. So when Debbie Adler, author of Sweet Debbie’s Organic Treats Allergy-Free & Vegan Recipes from the Famous Los Angeles Bakery, sent me a complimentary copy I was thrilled.   Debbie is the owner of Sweet Debbie’s Organic Cupcakes in L.A. If I’m ever in Los Angeles…I’m heading to that bakery for sure!   I like to read cookbooks almost like a novel…from front...

Food, Inc. – A Movie Review

admin April 22, 2014 0 Comments
I found the movie Food, Inc. at the library. I checked it out because I love learning about food and related topics. I also thought it would make for an interesting blog post. It was about a year ago that I actually watched this movie and wrote this immediately following. I’m just now posting it. I realize it’s an “old” movie, but it is still very applicable.   Food, Inc., A Robert...

“PB&J” Protein Shake

admin April 16, 2014 0 Comments
Breakfasts can be tricky if you are on a “limited diet.” I put limited in quotes because I personally do not feel limited at all even though there are several food groups I do not eat. For a lot of us, mornings are rushed and there is limited time to make gluten free, allergy friendly breakfasts. That is where a good protein shake comes in. I know some whole food/real food bloggers do not...

Fun Finds Friday – Lemony Avocado Pudding

admin April 11, 2014 0 Comments
I love how avocados make this delicious Creamy Dreamy Chocolate Peppermint Mousse.  It remains a favorite of mine.  And then there is this Purple Pudding made with avocados too.  So I went looking for other avocado desserts and found this Lemony Avocado Pudding.   Truth be told, I do not really care for this, and usually I don’t post things I do not like. However, it is a FAVORITE of my...

Allergic Living Magazine Spring 2014

admin April 9, 2014 0 Comments
The Spring 2014 Allergic Living Magazine is a fascinating read.  I've already received mine and read it cover to cover.  I really enjoyed the Milk Allergy At School article.  The author of the article, Alisa Fleming, notes that "reducing the presence of milk is controversial; it's one of the most revered and protected foods in the American diet." I find that sadly true. Another fascinating...

Roasted Colored Peppers

Ever try roasting colored peppers?  If not, they are yummy!  Sweet actually!    Not to mention that this is easy, peasy to prepare.  Simply slice open, take out seeds and slice into a few strips, toss with oil (and spices if you want, but not necessary) and roast in a hot oven.  I guarantee that you won’t have any left over.  Roasting peppers somehow brings out a succulent, sweet flavor...

It seems like everyone is bemoaning the cold spring/long winter and I’m no exception.  I am eager for some warmer temps, that is for sure. And even though it’s been chilly, I have been making a refreshing “frozen” treat that I am excited to share with you today.   This mango sorbet is so easy and fast.  You can put it together in minutes.  And with only three ingredients it is healthy...

Lucy’s Cookies-Product Review

admin March 27, 2014 0 Comments
Lucy’s is a cookie company that reached out to me and offered to send me some cookies to review.  Who can say “no” to that?  So while I received cookies, I did not receive compensation and opinions are my own.   For starters, I like to term Lucy’s cookies as allergy friendly rather than allergy free.  They are gluten free, peanut free, tree nut free, milk free and egg free.  However,...
