admin May 26, 2014 15 Comments
Bakery On Main is a sponsor of the Gluten and Allergen Free Wellness Event and they are giving away 3 full-sized products. They are gluten free and according to their website they are milk/casein free as well. I am not sure about any other allergens (and as a side note, I have never eaten their products). It's like a surprise. Who knows what you'll get! It could be granola, or granola bars,...

If I’m ever in Los Angeles…I’m heading to that bakery for sure!   I like to read cookbooks almost like a novel…from front...

Food, Inc. – A Movie Review

admin April 22, 2014 0 Comments
I found the movie Food, Inc. at the library. I checked it out because I love learning about food and related topics. I also thought it would make for an interesting blog post. It was about a year ago that I actually watched this movie and wrote this immediately following. I’m just now posting it. I realize it’s an “old” movie, but it is still very applicable.   Food, Inc., A Robert...

Allergic Living Magazine Spring 2014

admin April 9, 2014 0 Comments
The Spring 2014 Allergic Living Magazine is a fascinating read.  I've already received mine and read it cover to cover.  I really enjoyed the Milk Allergy At School article.  The author of the article, Alisa Fleming, notes that "reducing the presence of milk is controversial; it's one of the most revered and protected foods in the American diet." I find that sadly true. Another fascinating...

Lucy’s Cookies-Product Review

admin March 27, 2014 0 Comments
Lucy’s is a cookie company that reached out to me and offered to send me some cookies to review.  Who can say “no” to that?  So while I received cookies, I did not receive compensation and opinions are my own.   For starters, I like to term Lucy’s cookies as allergy friendly rather than allergy free.  They are gluten free, peanut free, tree nut free, milk free and egg free.  However,...

Too Much Grain? Two Vegetables To Use As Grain Alternatives

admin March 16, 2014 1 Comment
How much wheat or gluten free grains do you eat a day?  I imagine it’s more than you realize.  We’ve been ingrained (ha!) to think we need to eat lots and lots of grains.  Even many gluten free people are consuming lots of gluten free grains (unless you are Paleo).  Following doctor’s orders, I had to cut back on grains (gluten free ones) to about 6 ounces a day.  Let me tell you, it...

McDonald’s Shamrock Shake–Milk Free

Does McDonald’s even have the Shamrock Shake anymore?  I don’t know.  I haven’t seen a commercial for it.  But I do know that you can make your own dairy free version!   Even though I don’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day, I know people love (or used to love) the St. Patty’s Day Shamrock Shake.  So for fun, I set out to create a dairy free version of what I think it should taste...

“Can” of Cream of Celery Soup

admin March 11, 2014 4 Comments
The “can” of cream of mushroom soup post continues to one of my most popular.  And while it doesn’t get the same kind of attention, there is also a “can” of cream of chicken soup post.  One can also make a “can” of cream of celery soup.  This is for using in casseroles or slow cooker recipes.  It is not meant to be eaten as is.   All the steps are the same as the cream of...

Gluten Free Grain Free Pizza Crust – Fun Finds Friday (Saturday version)

admin March 1, 2014 0 Comments
I use Fun Finds Friday as a way to showcase recipes I make that come from other bloggers.  Today I thought I’d share the pizza crust recipe I have been making since autumn.  I had this all ready to go on Friday, but forgot to hit 'publish' so I'm making it a fun finds Saturday! Cauliflower pizza crust recipes are all over the food blogosphere and this recipe uses some cauliflower.  However,...
