Vegetarian + Vegan Recipes
10:10 PM
Heather
I was vegan for a number of years. I still love vegetarian food with a passion. But when I developed food allergies, so many foods were eliminated from my diet that I had to reintroduce some meat back into my diet. These are some of the tried-and-true recipes that I lived on back then. Go at '...
Soup

I must have spent half of my undergraduate career eating soup. Cheap, filling, healthy, flavorful, and quick was what I was after. A lot of these recipes can be made in the crockpot--I like being la...

Stop crying and listen. Santa may not exist, but gluten free vegan desserts that actually taste good do. And you're in the presence of someone who takes her cookies very, very seriously. I'm no pushover. Give these bad boys a try. You won't regret ...

There's more to life than a tapioca loaf and gluten free muffins that taste like hockey pucks. I give you permission to stop spending half your weekly food allowance on useless products that taste bad and have no nutritional value. Instead let's bake our own breads and call it go...

I created this site more or less because of the lack of real food out there for celiacs. While there are some really great online sources, man (or woman) cannot live on rice flour, tastless egg replacers, and cardboard waffles alone. It takes the joy out of thin...
Food Allergies
9:28 PM

Let's not ignore the glaring elephant in the room. Food allergies majorly suck and it really can interfere with your life. I get it--I know. I'm with you. Whether you're the one with the food allergy or you're living with someone with food allergies, it can be a shock. Changing your whole lifestyle can be hard especially if you rarely cook or eat our a lot.But after the initial shock and the transition, you might find life to be a little more predictable and a little kinder to your tender tummy. After my diagnosis, I literally threw out every potentially contaminated equipment in my kitchen. I gave away any pan that wasn't stainless steel. I gave away my beloved cast iron pans to family, thew away all plastic bowls, all my silicone cookware. I got rid of every cutting board, every wooden...
