Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Vanilla Ice Cream

admin June 24, 2014 2 Comments
Summer is in full swing and who doesn’t like an ice cream on a hot day? Thankfully, even those of us who do not eat dairy products, (whether due to allergy or if you are a vegan), can still enjoy ice cream. While I have had this in my arsenal for a while now, I have not been keeping this recipe to myself on purpose, rather trying to get it just right. While a lot of people work on one recipe...

Easy and Tasty Brussel Sprouts

admin June 18, 2014 1 Comment
Every vegetable deserves a chance to shine. Today it is the mighty, little brussel sprouts turn! Basically a mini cabbage, the brussel sprout is a health boon boasting tons of vitamin A and C and beta carotene. They also contain protein and fiber. Sadly, they somehow get a bad rap. And I used to be one of those who wouldn’t eat them. But one thing I have learned about vegetables. It’s all...

Rhubarb Sauce – Refined Sugar Free

admin May 28, 2014 4 Comments
Rhubarb! You either love it or hate! At least that’s what I’m guessing. I’m of the love it group! Did you know it is actually a vegetable? I think people do not realize that because it is used in desserts, jams and sauces—typically applications for fruit. Now it’s hard to come by where I live and beggars can’t be choosers, so I had to settle for the green variety even though the red...

Easy and Mild Chicken Rice and Beans

admin May 19, 2014 2 Comments
Chicken. Rice. Beans. These are three things I like to keep in the house for a quick meal. Often that quick meal is Jerk Chicken Rice and Beans. But recently, I was out of jerk seasoning and out of the spices to make my own jerk seasoning. Yet, I had already thawed chicken and an open can of kidney beans. So I cooked without a recipe and as I went along I made sure to take good notes. What came...

Gluten Free Tortillas (Vegan Too!)

admin May 9, 2014 3 Comments
Gluten free tortillas are expensive. And they are crumbly. And making them myself seemed elusive to me. Everything I found online was too crumbly, too labor intensive or too sticky. What I needed was something fast and easy, something that actually worked. I quit trying for awhile. After some time and really wanting tacos, I tried again. I had some success, but wasn’t quite satisfied. Then I...

Allergic Solution All Purpose Mix

admin May 5, 2014 0 Comments
Allergic Solution is a food company that makes allergy free foods. I first wrote about their baking mixes here. They recently developed an all-purpose baking mix and sent me a package to bake with. (I was not compensated for this and my opinions are my own). First some basics; this blend contains no rice, but rather sorghum, tapioca and navy bean. I have never seen a navy bean flour, so this was...

Roasted Colored Peppers

Ever try roasting colored peppers?  If not, they are yummy!  Sweet actually!    Not to mention that this is easy, peasy to prepare.  Simply slice open, take out seeds and slice into a few strips, toss with oil (and spices if you want, but not necessary) and roast in a hot oven.  I guarantee that you won’t have any left over.  Roasting peppers somehow brings out a succulent, sweet flavor...
