Gluten and Allergen Free Wellness Event Recap

admin June 2, 2014 0 Comments
I attended the Gluten and Allergen Free Wellness Event in St. Louis on Saturday. It was fun! There were speakers to listen to if you wished, and there were quite a few vendors there. Some I had heard of, but many I have not. We ate lots of samples…enough that we could skip lunch that day. Some of the standby companies were Enjoy Life and Udi’s. Just a few of the new products I found out about...

Rhubarb Sauce – Refined Sugar Free

Rhubarb! You either love it or hate! At least that’s what I’m guessing. I’m of the love it group! Did you know it is actually a vegetable? I think people do not realize that because it is used in desserts, jams and sauces—typically applications for fruit. Now it’s hard to come by where I live and beggars can’t be choosers, so I had to settle for the green variety even though the red...

Bakery On Main is a sponsor of the Gluten and Allergen Free Wellness Event and they are giving away 3 full-sized products. They are gluten free and according to their website they are milk/casein free as well. I am not sure about any other allergens (and as a side note, I have never eaten their products). It's like a surprise. Who knows what you'll get! It could be granola, or granola bars,...

Easy and Mild Chicken Rice and Beans

admin May 19, 2014 2 Comments
Chicken. Rice. Beans. These are three things I like to keep in the house for a quick meal. Often that quick meal is Jerk Chicken Rice and Beans. But recently, I was out of jerk seasoning and out of the spices to make my own jerk seasoning. Yet, I had already thawed chicken and an open can of kidney beans. So I cooked without a recipe and as I went along I made sure to take good notes. What came...

Gluten Free Tortillas (Vegan Too!)

admin May 9, 2014 3 Comments
Gluten free tortillas are expensive. And they are crumbly. And making them myself seemed elusive to me. Everything I found online was too crumbly, too labor intensive or too sticky. What I needed was something fast and easy, something that actually worked. I quit trying for awhile. After some time and really wanting tacos, I tried again. I had some success, but wasn’t quite satisfied. Then I...

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...

“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...

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...
