Dairy Free Soy Free Vanilla Ice Cream

admin June 6, 2013 4 Comments
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. ...

Are you milk free and missing creamy frozen treats?  Well, wait no longer!  These Frozen Raspberry Yogurt Pops are everything you need to satisfy that desire.   Rich and creamy, these popsicles will not disappoint.  They are the perfect blend of fruit, yogurt and honey.  To make them vegan, simply use agave nectar (I have not tested this recipe with agave).  If you are not milk free or...

Berry Patriotic Parfaits

I like to have something “fun” to eat for days like Memorial Day, July 4 etc.  Something red, white and blue to help commemorate the day.  But I also do not always have time to make something complicated.  But these little parfaits are just the quickest, easiest and cutest thing to make!   I used little plastic shot glasses for these parfaits.  Making them “mini” is great for a...

Jello may make for an odd blog post.  After all, everyone knows how to make Jello!  But this is a jazzed up version.  It’s more than just Jello and water!   I include it here because I sometimes think that people overlook the simple ideas.  This Jello concoction makes for a great dessert or snack.  Perfect for after supper, before bed, after school, or mid-day, this can be a perfect snack...

Not Your Mama’s Chocolate Shake

admin March 9, 2013 2 Comments
This chocolaty beverage is no ordinary chocolate milk (or shake, since it is thick)!  It is hiding some power house nutrients. It would make a great after school snack for kids.   And parents will like it just as much!  After all, we need these nutrients too!   So what is hiding in this chocolate milk beverage?  Butternut squash!  After using squash in my apple pie smoothie, and liking the...

Dairy Free and Vegan Chocolate Ice Cream

admin February 21, 2013 4 Comments
Many moons ago I was given an ice cream maker.  At the time I did not know what I would do with it.  Little did I know that several years after that, I would be going milk free.  And lo and behold, the ice cream maker came in handy.  I am glad I kept it all those years. I do not make ice cream all that often.  I honestly do not miss it much.  But it is so easy and simple and makes for a...

Oreo Ice Cream Dessert

admin February 3, 2013 5 Comments
Today’s recipe was originally posted by me as a guest post at Mom’s Test Kitchen.  For that post I was looking for something that could be made “regular” or “allergy free.”  I settled on Oreo Ice Cream Dessert. It was a good choice, because it simply requires assembling store bought products.  As a lot of you know, that is not often a possibility with food allergies.  Nor is it...
