My Favorite Gluten Free Restaurants

Gluten free restaurants are everywhere now, which is a good thing! There are a lot of restaurants which serve gluten free menu items, but not all of them are great. If you’re gluten free, I’m sure you’ve had the experience where a restaurant says they serve gluten free food, but then you find out that your menu options are limited to plain meats and salads, with no side dishes. I mean, it’s great that they have some gluten free options so that you’re not left starving. But there are some restaurants that really cater to celiacs and those on a...

This Recipe Will Make You Love Cauliflower – Yes, That’s Possible

This roasted cauliflower is addictive – really addictive. I used to hate cauliflower and would avoid it at any cost. When it’s served in an unappetizing mix of steamed veggies, there’s nothing to love about it. And it doesn’t taste good raw, in my opinion. But now, this is my favorite veggie side. In fact, sometimes I make this just to eat as a snack. Yes, cauliflower as a snack! It is a superfood, so that’s a good thing. Roasting cauliflower at high heat caramelizes it and brings out the sweetness. Make sure the cauliflower gets browned on multiple sides...

Easter With Food Allergies

Celebrating Easter with food allergies can be a challenge, but here are some tips for Easter egg hunts and baskets, and recipes to make your Easter safe and happy for everyone! Easter Egg Hunt Those plastic Easter eggs that kids hunt for are often filled with chocolates, jelly beans and other candies that contain allergens. If there’s an allergic child in the group, here are some ideas: 1. This is my favorite one – Label the eggs with small stickers, one sticker design for each child in the hunt. For example, one child gets the eggs with the soccer stickers...

Quick Lentil Rice Dish

Need a dinner idea for Meatless Monday? This lentil rice dish is quick and easy, and also healthy! Use chicken broth, or vegetable broth to make it vegan. Melt shredded cheese – dairy or dairy-free – on top if you like. Cheddar or Monterey jack tastes great with this. I’ve been making this for many years, starting long before I cooked often. Instant brown rice isn’t something I use for anything else, but it works well in this dish and helps this meal cook up so quickly. I prefer shredded carrot in this but thinly sliced carrot works great as...

Bread Maker Review – Breadman Pro TR 875

I’ve been asked about the bread machine that I use, so here’s my bread maker review. I have had the Breadman TR875 bread machine for about six years, and use it a couple of times per month to make My Favorite Sandwich Bread. It looks exactly like the one pictured, and is still in great shape. I chose this bread maker because it has a Gluten Free setting. The settings of most bread machines include two separate kneading cycles with a rest period in between, and a punch down after the rising cycle. A punch down, which is like another very...

Holiday Honey Baked Ham Recipe

I make this honey baked ham almost every Easter and always get rave reviews. Last year I made it alongside a turkey at Thanksgiving, because we just need to have a crazy amount of food – that’s how we roll. People think it tastes just like a ham from the Honeybaked Ham store – but it’s way less expensive! I just buy a spiral cut ham from the big box store and throw away the nasty glaze packet, which usually has gluten and soy in it. This is a very easy recipe. The hardest part may be finding pear juice...

Green Beans With Fresh Vinaigrette

This green beans recipe is a great one for rounding out a holiday meal. Have you noticed that in a lot of holiday menus, all of the vegetables have been cooked in a casserole or roasted until they are limp? Not intentional, I’m sure, because everyone has those favorite recipes, smothered in sauce. But it’s nice to have a veggie dish that’s crisp and fresh to serve alongside those traditional casseroles. Here’s a recipe that I think you’ll enjoy, and it’s so simple to make. It’s cooked only briefly on the stove top, so it won’t take much of your...

Dairy Free Chocolate Truffles!

These insanely delicious dairy free chocolate truffles are also soy free, gluten free, nut free and vegan. You’d never guess they’re allergy friendly! This was one of my favorite recipes to create, and they are so simple to make. All you need is coconut cream and allergy friendly chocolate, plus whatever you want to roll these babies in. Do yourself a favor and use a small cookie scoop with a squeeze handle for easy release. It’s not necessary, but definitely very helpful. I use Trader Joe’s canned “Coconut Cream” for this, but you can use regular full-fat canned coconut milk. Just...

2015 List of Top Allergy Friendly Restaurant Chains – Do You Agree?

AllergyEats, an online guide to allergy friendly restaurants in the U.S., has released its 2015 list of the Most Allergy Friendly Restaurant Chains nationwide. The list was created based on AllergyEats customer feedback. The rankings are divided into “large” restaurant chains (those with 50 or more restaurants) and “small” chains (those with less than 50 restaurants). There is quite a bit of debate about this list and some of the restaurants on it. Someone’s experience with how “allergy friendly” a restaurant is can vary greatly, depending on what allergies you have. For example, while Red Robin may be allergy friendly to...

Gluten Free Pancake Recipe – Dairy Free, Egg Free, Nut Free, Vegan

Years. It took years to come up with a gluten free pancake recipe, which was also allergy free, that my whole family was happy with. (OK, my husband doesn’t like pancakes so he doesn’t count.) I tried all sorts of gluten free recipes over the years with a million different ingredients and had a few that I used, but was never thrilled. And then my younger son was diagnosed with dairy, egg and nut allergies, at different times, so those recipes had to be further modified to be allergy free. As you can imagine, there was lots of experimentation and...

My Favorite Gluten Free Bread Recipe- Egg Free and Dairy Free Too!

Is there anything better than fresh baked bread? Before going gluten-free, I would have never attempted to bake a loaf of bread. Then again, I was in my early 20’s and more concerned about hanging out with friends and starting a career – I wasn’t doing much cooking in general, never mind making anything from scratch. But then came the realization that gluten was having really bad effects on me. Back then, there were almost no gluten free products on the market. No one even knew what “gluten” was! I hit the bookstores and discovered Bette Hagman’s gluten free cookbook....

Easy Gluten Free Banana Bread Recipe

It’s so rare that I catch a banana at the perfect time of ripeness for eating. That perfect time lasts for what, half an hour? That’s why I usually use them for banana bread, quick breakfast balls, or smoothies. This gluten free banana bread recipe uses minimal ingredients but delivers big taste! It calls for only rice flour and potato starch, and can be made egg free. Additionally, it is dairy free, nut free and soy free. I usually use one cup of brown rice flour and one cup of white rice flour, but you can use either one or...
