Independence Day is just around the corner!  Why not start the day out with this delicious and easy Red and Blue Breakfast Cake. It’s not just for breakfast either!  Enjoy for brunch, mid-afternoon snack, dessert, or late evening treat! Red and Blue Breakfast Cake was inspired by a recipe I found in the June 2013 issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine.  I made it gluten free, allergy free...

Banana Coconut Cream Pie

One of the reasons I named my blog Allergy Free Test Kitchen is because I am often testing my own recipes, products, or adaptions of other people’s recipes.  This past weekend I made a No-Bake Banana Coconut Cream Pie.   I got the recipe from Laura’s Gluten Free Pantry, and I’ll send you there for the recipe in a minute.  If you are interested in making this recipe, you may want to print...

Produce Wash

It would be wonderful if we all could buy organic fruits and vegetables.  But for many it is not affordable or accessible.  Now I do not know if a produce wash is scientifically better than water for washing produce or not, but I do know that it eases my mind a little bit.      For strawberries, I usually mix a recipe of produce wash and soak the berries in it.  Then I drain them and rinse...

Quinoa For Breakfast (And What is Quinoa Anyway?)

admin June 13, 2013 6 Comments
If you have been gluten free for a while now, I’m sure you know all about quinoa (pronounced keen-wah).  If you are new to gluten free or not gluten free, you may have heard about it as it has been in the news the last few years as a power food.  There is no need to be gluten free to enjoy this grain. (It’s not technically a grain, but it is often referred to it as that.  We’ll get into...

Enjoy Life Perky’s Crunchy Cereal and a Granola Recipe

admin June 10, 2013 2 Comments
I like Enjoy Life food company, so when I saw this box of Perky’s Crunchy Flax cereal on sale, I thought I would give it a try.    What I found is that it is very, very small and quite blah tasting to be eaten alone and I was a bit disappointed.  However, it does boast 6g of fiber, 7g of protein, and 540mg of omega-3’s per serving.  It is made of sorghum flour, flax seed, honey, raisin...

Dairy Free Soy Free Vanilla Ice Cream

Vanilla ice cream; a standard flavor for most.    It was a few years ago already when I was looking online for a dairy free vanilla ice cream recipe.  I was on vacation and not hooked up to a printer.  I stumbled upon this recipe on a blog, but it was one of those where the recipe is written into the body of the post with commentary in between.  It was kind of confusing to read actually. ...

I am excited to share with you today about Habitall; a new, cup for cup, natural sweetener.  Corey and Michelle, owners and inventors of Habitall, contacted me and sent me two pounds of this sugar replacement to bake and cook with.  And boy, did I have fun with it.  Before I get to my results and thoughts, let’s first talk a little about the product.  We'll start with some pictures:  ...

Allergy Free Thousand Island Dressing (And Why It Is Named That)

admin May 26, 2013 4 Comments
I like to check out cookbooks from the library occasionally.  I found Cooking Free by Carol Fenster, PhD.  To me, it appears to be one of the “first” allergy friendly cookbooks having been published 8 years ago.  I’m actually surprised that I had not heard of or seen her cookbook before now.  While flipping through the book I came across a recipe for Thousand Island Dressing.  I was...

Full Flavor Foods – Review # 2

admin May 24, 2013 1 Comment
I am eager to share with you again about Full Flavor Foods.  I first stumbled upon this food company at my local grocery.  After they read my review, they kindly sent me several of their mixes to try.  I was very pleased with every one they sent. First up, I tried the FFF Beef Gravy Mix.  I am not one to make or eat a lot of roasts, so I used this gravy mix in a recipe Full Flavor Foods...
