McDonald’s Shamrock Shake–Milk Free

admin March 11, 2014 5 Comments
Does McDonald’s even have the Shamrock Shake anymore?  I don’t know.  I haven’t seen a commercial for it.  But I do know that you can make your own dairy free version!   Even though I don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I know people love (or used to love) the St. Patty’s Day Shamrock Shake.  So for fun, I set out to create a dairy free version of what I think it should taste...

“Can” of Cream of Celery Soup

admin March 11, 2014 4 Comments
The “can” of cream of mushroom soup post continues to one of my most popular.  And while it doesn’t get the same kind of attention, there is also a “can” of cream of chicken soup post.  One can also make a “can” of cream of celery soup.  This is for using in casseroles or slow cooker recipes.  It is not meant to be eaten as is.   All the steps are the same as the cream of...

Kale and Caramelized Onions

I love kale chips.  Have you tried them yet?  Go here to see how I make them.  But cooking kale for a meal is a different story.  It’s not my first choice of vegetable and I am guessing it isn’t yours either.  But it should be!  ;-) It is not hard to cook kale and it tastes pretty good.  Caramelized onions add some yummy flavor too.    You need to use one whole head of kale.  I...

I use Fun Finds Friday as a way to showcase recipes I make that come from other bloggers.  Today I thought I’d share the pizza crust recipe I have been making since autumn.  I had this all ready to go on Friday, but forgot to hit 'publish' so I'm making it a fun finds Saturday! Cauliflower pizza crust recipes are all over the food blogosphere and this recipe uses some cauliflower.  However,...

Today’s recipe comes courtesy of one of my readers.  She saw my Russian Cranberry Chicken post where I stated making my own Russian Dressing was on my to-do list.  Well, no more.  Thanks to her, she sent me a copy of her Russian Dressing recipe that is soy free and refined sugar free as well as free of all the other stuff I stay clear from.   There is ketchup in the recipe so in order to...

How To Make A Chai Tea Latte Similar to Starbucks

admin February 12, 2014 2 Comments
If you don’t drink coffee what do you drink when you go to Starbucks?  Well, I don’t really go to Starbucks much because I’m not a coffee drinker.  (Nor can I imagine spending $5 on a beverage every day, or every week for that matter).  But when a trip to Starbucks means meeting up with a great friend, well, you have to order something, right? This is where I first tasted a Chai Tea...

Spicy Skillet Meal -Gluten Free/Allergy Friendly

admin February 4, 2014 2 Comments
Remember Hamburger Helper?  You know, where you simply add beef and a packet of flavoring and you have a “meal?”  I cannot believe I used to make and eat those!  My food allergies had forced me into eating REAL FOOD and for that I am very grateful!  Now I would never turn back to boxed dinners even if I could. Now I agree that this isn’t the most interesting blog post entry.  It’s...

Purple Pudding – Fun Finds Friday

admin January 30, 2014 1 Comment
It’s Friday and I have another Fun Find to share with you.   I call it Purple Pudding!  It’s a real treat around here.  I have been making it since December whenever avocados are on sale. (Yeah for $0.29/avocado)!   Don’t freak out…this doesn’t taste like avocados at all.  It is mostly blueberry flavored with a hint of chocolate.  It will satisfy your need for something creamy. ...

Make Your Own Taco Seasoning

admin January 21, 2014 0 Comments
Do you ever start a meal only to find out you do not have an ingredient?  That’s what happened to me that had me scrambling to make my own taco seasoning.  It turns out it is pretty easy and honestly, it’s probably healthier without hidden wheat, additives or MSG lurking in there.   I adapted this recipe for taco seasoning from The Everything Food Allergy Cookbook.    I use one...
