Go Veggie “Cheese” by Galaxy Nutritional Foods – Product Review

I’m all about saving us dairy free folks some money.  So I spent some of my own to see just how good this Go Veggie "cheese" by Galaxy Nutritional Foods is.  After all, it is priced a bit less than Daiya, so if it is good, I would switch.  Read on to see if I will just do that.   I made a pizza with black beans. The package claims it will melt and stretch.  Well, it melted TOO MUCH!  It...

Trader Joe’s Mango Sorbet

It’s very rare that I purchase dairy free, factory made, frozen treats at the store.  But I made the exception to my rule during my last trip to Trader Joe’s and bought this Mango Sorbet.   This sorbet is creamy, smooth, refreshing and satisfying.   It hit the spot on a hot day; on a busy day with no time to prepare food.  Even if you are not crazy about mango, I bet you would like this...

Grilled Hoisin Chicken

I love cooking summer food!  AKA…the grill!  What is better and easier than firing up the grill for a simple meal of protein and vegetables!?   So simple and fast…great for a hot day when you do not want to heat up the kitchen or for a day at the pool and not much time in the evening!   Grilling chicken is not hard.  It only takes a little forethought in making a marinade.  Granted,...

So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk vs. Silk Pure Coconut

We always have a couple containers of vanilla flavored coconut milk in the house.  I usually buy So Delicious Vanilla Coconut Milk, but lately have purchased a few containers of Silk Pure Coconut Vanilla Coconut Milk.  I thought it would be fun to do a comparison.  The information is taken from the containers.   How they are the same:  Both state a serving size is 1 cup, have zero...

Fruity Tootie Surprise Popsicles

I'm all about popsicles this summer!  And healthy ones without tons of high fructose corn syrup and food dyes. This one is full of fruit, little bit of vegetables, and a small amount of natural sweetener. Nothing goes better on a hot afternoon than a popsicle.  Whip up a batch and enjoy!

Honey Oatmeal Bread

I made a yeast bread with wheat flour today and it was fun!   I had trouble deciding if I should put this on the blog since it isn’t gluten free.  But it is bread that is free of milk, egg, and soy, so I thought it would still come in handy for many people.      This recipe is great to make when you are having company or making bread to give to a friend because it makes two large...

Sweet Pea Salad

Bacon, peas and golden raisins!  What do they have in common?  This salad!    Sounds like a strange combination, doesn’t it?  Well, it turns out it is YUMMY and a great way to eat peas.   It’s easy too.  This can be made allergy free or “regular.”  Either way, it works! Seriously, this is sweet and doesn’t taste like peas at all.  It may just do the trick to getting a kid to...

Chocolate Granola For Anyone!

Calling all chocolate lovers!  I found a new way to get a chocolate fix.  Chocolate granola!    I adapted this recipe, tried it, and then two days later I found that Trader Joe’s had a chocolate granola.  Then I found a gluten free chocolate granola in another store.  So glad I made homemade a few days earlier!  Homemade is fun!  Homemade is less expensive!  Homemade is easy! Once you...

Red and Blue Breakfast Cake

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...
