Honey Oatmeal Bread

admin July 5, 2013 9 Comments

I made a yeast bread with wheat flour today and it was fun! I had trouble deciding if I should put this on the blog since it isn’t gluten free. But it is bread that is free of milk, egg, and soy, so I thought it would still come in handy for many people. This recipe is great to make when you are having company or making bread to give to a friend because it makes two large...

Sweet Pea Salad

admin July 1, 2013 11 Comments

Bacon, peas and golden raisins! What do they have in common? This salad! Sounds like a strange combination, doesn’t it? Well, it turns out it is YUMMY and a great way to eat peas. It’s easy too. This can be made allergy free or “regular.” Either way, it works! Seriously, this is sweet and doesn’t taste like peas at all. It may just do the trick to getting a kid to...

Chocolate Granola For Anyone!

admin June 27, 2013 10 Comments

Calling all chocolate lovers! I found a new way to get a chocolate fix. Chocolate granola! I adapted this recipe, tried it, and then two days later I found that Trader Joe’s had a chocolate granola. Then I found a gluten free chocolate granola in another store. So glad I made homemade a few days earlier! Homemade is fun! Homemade is less expensive! Homemade is easy! Once you...

Banana Coconut Cream Pie

admin June 18, 2013 2 Comments

One of the reasons I named my blog Allergy Free Test Kitchen is because I am often testing my own recipes, products, or adaptions of other people’s recipes. This past weekend I made a No-Bake Banana Coconut Cream Pie. I got the recipe from Laura’s Gluten Free Pantry, and I’ll send you there for the recipe in a minute. If you are interested in making this recipe, you may want to print...

Produce Wash

admin June 16, 2013 2 Comments

It would be wonderful if we all could buy organic fruits and vegetables. But for many it is not affordable or accessible. Now I do not know if a produce wash is scientifically better than water for washing produce or not, but I do know that it eases my mind a little bit. For strawberries, I usually mix a recipe of produce wash and soak the berries in it. Then I drain them and rinse...

Quinoa For Breakfast (And What is Quinoa Anyway?)

admin June 13, 2013 6 Comments

If you have been gluten free for a while now, I’m sure you know all about quinoa (pronounced keen-wah). If you are new to gluten free or not gluten free, you may have heard about it as it has been in the news the last few years as a power food. There is no need to be gluten free to enjoy this grain. (It’s not technically a grain, but it is often referred to it as that. We’ll get into...

Enjoy Life Perky’s Crunchy Cereal and a Granola Recipe

admin June 10, 2013 2 Comments

I like Enjoy Life food company, so when I saw this box of Perky’s Crunchy Flax cereal on sale, I thought I would give it a try. What I found is that it is very, very small and quite blah tasting to be eaten alone and I was a bit disappointed. However, it does boast 6g of fiber, 7g of protein, and 540mg of omega-3’s per serving. It is made of sorghum flour, flax seed, honey, raisin...

I am excited to share with you today about Habitall; a new, cup for cup, natural sweetener. Corey and Michelle, owners and inventors of Habitall, contacted me and sent me two pounds of this sugar replacement to bake and cook with. And boy, did I have fun with it. Before I get to my results and thoughts, let’s first talk a little about the product. We'll start with some pictures: ...

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...

Allergy Free Thousand Island Dressing (And Why It Is Named That)

admin May 26, 2013 4 Comments

I like to check out cookbooks from the library occasionally. I found Cooking Free by Carol Fenster, PhD. To me, it appears to be one of the “first” allergy friendly cookbooks having been published 8 years ago. I’m actually surprised that I had not heard of or seen her cookbook before now. While flipping through the book I came across a recipe for Thousand Island Dressing. I was...
