How to Make Finger Gelatin (a/k/a finger jello)

admin March 11, 2015 0 Comments
100,000! That’s a number worth celebrating! 200. That’s pretty big too! Say what? What does this have to do with finger gelatin? Nothing really. Not Irish and not Catholic, not prone to drinking and partying…I’m still celebrating St. Patty’s Day……with some green food. After all, St. Patrick (born A.D. 373) was one of the most prolific evangelists of all time with planting over 200...

Make Your Own Cherry Pie Filling

admin February 10, 2015 4 Comments
Part of eating “free” is making your own food, a lot. And we’re better for it…less chemicals, preservatives, food dyes, fake sweeteners, and high fructose corn syrup, what have you. So today it’s another “make your own post.” Enter: cherry pie filling. I did not use this to make a pie, so I’m not sure how it works in that application. However, I used this pie filling in a...

So the gluten free, grain free chicken tenders are a hit! I knew they would be. And maybe you have been eagerly waiting the recipe for the Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce. Well, today’s your lucky day. This dipping sauce is simple to put together with ingredients I always have on hand anyway. You probably do too. I have adapted the recipe from The Healthy Gluten Free Life by Tammy Credicott. Also...

Pea Protein Is An Allergy Friendly Protein for Shakes

admin January 27, 2015 0 Comments
The majority of my breakfasts over the past year have been protein shakes. I find my whole day goes better when it starts off this way. And I am no gym rat….protein shakes are a great way to start the day for ANYONE! The most commonly found proteins are whey and soy. And they are big no-no’s! So I use pea protein. I wrote an article for My Life With Food Allergies all about pea protein. You...

Gluten Free Grain Free Fried Chicken Tenders

admin January 17, 2015 7 Comments
Every once in a while you just need to have fried food. I am generally a very healthy eater so frying chicken tenders a few times a year is quite the indulgence for me. And since it is so rare, I figure it’s not so bad. Actually, I think indulging like this is a good thing. Maintaining a healthy diet free of so many categories of food can sometimes be overwhelming. So treating oneself gives...

Fall Fruit Sauce

I made Savory Squash Soup yesterday and it was delish. If you have not tried it yet, by all means….go, print out the recipe. You will love the soup even if you are not a big squash person. And as always, when I cooked the squash for the soup I had leftovers. I actually plan it that way. I buy a bigger squash so that I will have leftover squash. I was going to make Not Your Mama’s Chocolate...

Make Your Own Can Of Condensed Tomato Soup

admin October 12, 2014 7 Comments
Fall is knocking on our door and I’m ready to start making soups and stews again. In fact I made this stew last night and it was good. If you haven’t tried it yet, you should. One of my favorite soup recipes from childhood is a chili recipe that requires a can of condensed tomato soup. I started making my own condensed version about 4 years ago. I took these pictures back in 2012 and am just...

Grape Soda – Sugar Free, Corn Free, Allergy Free

admin September 20, 2014 0 Comments
Can you believe I have not had a soda in a year!? I cut out corn and artificial sweeteners about a year ago, so that means no soda since they are all made with either high fructose corn syrup or aspartame/Splenda. (Well, except Zevia, but that stuff is expensive!) I never was a huge soda drinker anyway, so it really wasn’t that big of deal. But then…. I had a garage sale back in August. Those...

Garlic Lover’s Hummus

admin September 15, 2014 4 Comments
I love garlic. I use it in a lot of dishes. Today I made a Garlic Lover’s Hummus. Garlic is an herb with endless health properties. It’s good for the heart, blood pressure, keeping cholesterol in check, is an anti-fungal, may reduce the chance of developing Alzheimer’s and much, much more. Better yet, it makes food DELICIOUS! If you do not care for lots of garlic, then you may be interested...

“Cheese” Like Dip/Sauce

admin September 5, 2014 1 Comment
I do not miss dairy products. Oh, I did at first, but after four years of dairy free living, I do not miss it one bit. That is saying a lot from someone who used to consume milk, cheese and/or yogurt multiple times a day! That being said, I did try and make a cheese-like sauce. Not because I was craving cheese or a similar substitute, but rather I wanted something other than hummus to dip raw...
