Make Your Own Taco Seasoning

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...

Gluten Free Brownies – Fun Finds Friday

This past summer I reintroduced eggs to my diet for about three weeks prior to my latest IgG Food Allergy Test.  Since gluten free vegan brownies are so elusive, we just do not enjoy brownies.  Sure I’ve tried black bean brownies, sweet potato brownies, and many versions of gluten free vegan brownies all with little satisfaction.  But nothing compares to brownies made with eggs. Since I was...

I Scream You Scream We All Scream for Snow Cream!

So what does one do on a cold, very cold, 5 degree evening after it snowed 11 or more inches?  Why make snow cream that’s what!  The coming pictures are arguably the worst pics I put up, but hey I’m working with snow, after dark (bad lighting), and my old point and shoot.  No time to make a big set up with my nice camera! Yep, every church was cancelled today!  Roads are terrible...

Fun Finds Friday – No-Bake Grain Free Cookie Dough Bites

I have been dabbling in almond meal lately.  Almond meal is different than almond flour.  It is ground up almonds with the skin on.  Almond flour has the skins removed before grinding.  At least that is how I understand it.  I haven’t purchased almond flour because it is so expensive.  But Trader Joe’s sells almond meal at a fairly reasonable price.  So I made a recipe for the first...

Hummus and Trader Joe’s Lentil Chips

Do you need a great dip for New Year’s Eve?  Try hummus!  I know, it’s a “weird” food to some people.  But don’t be scared off.  After I fiddled with several different recipes I came up with a great one.  And I only put recipes on this blog that work and taste great!   Hummus goes well with raw veggies such as broccoli and carrots.  It’s also a great dip for chips.  The chips...

Molasses Cookie Cake AND Why I Love Bob’s Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour Blend

The following post first appeared at Living Without Magazine's blog entitled My Life With Food Allergies where I am a contributor. I don’t know about you, but after several years of eating allergy free I really do not miss much of the store bought items.  I know Oreos are a big one for many people, but there are fairly good gluten free options.  But one thing I have missed is the Archway Soft...
