Allergy Friendly Banana Bread; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free

May 25, 2016 by Kristina 1 Comment

Back when I first went gluten free, dairy free, and soy free; probably nearly 5 years ago, I found a random recipe for gf banana bread made with gf Bisquick on some random forum (because oddly, that was where most of the recipes were back then) and it was really amazing.  There were no pictures, just a few sentences from a guy who had wanted to make some for his Celiac wife and had experimented with some success. Back then, the only way to find good recipes was to network with other people with ...

Ginger & Cinnamon Spice Cookies; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

January 15, 2016 by Kristina Leave a Comment

These cookies are sugar, spice and everything nice! Like nearly all of the cookies on this site, these start with my gluten free, dairy free (option), soy free, nut free, egg free (option) basic sugar cookie dough (also known as the "Master" dough). Just add a few teaspoons of spices and you have a totally different tasting, sweet, fragrant, to-die-for with coffee (seriously, I make extra batches of these and my gingerbread versions to freeze and pull out with a nice cup of coffee as a treat) ...

Eek! Only 3 more days until Thanksgiving! Yikes! I’ve been down in Florida for a wedding so it didn’t even dawn on me that it was only 3 days away!

Halloween Activity Day 3: Mint Chocolate Bat Cookies, Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free

October 23, 2015 by Kristina Leave a Comment

Mmmm....Remember Thin Mint Girl Scout cookies?  Living gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free means no girl scout cookies for us in our house but that doesn't mean we can't come up with a substitute!  These chocolate mint bat cookies did the trick!  They're also activity number 3 in my 10 days of Halloween activities series. We've done a few days of painting activities so I decided it was time to bake. My little man just recently became obsessed with mint after tasting an Altoid. Yuck! ...

GF Pumpkin Spice Cake Recipe; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

September 26, 2015 by Kristina 1 Comment

This pumpkin spice cake recipe is a hit! It was loved by everyone at my son's 2nd birthday party, even those who aren't gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free so I figured it would be great to make again less than 2 weeks later for my grandpa's 90th birthday that was being attended by both gf and non-gf diners... We had my son's 2nd birthday party a few weekends ago and he had a BLAST (I promise I'll have a post dedicated to it)! As always, I have to make everything from scratch for ...

Mother’s Day Cupcake Bouquet; This one’s GF!

May 10, 2015 by Kristina Leave a Comment

I can't believe how beautiful these cupcakes turned out! They were surprisingly easy (for me, I do have some artistic talent though so don't hate me if you have troubles :). I looked online for pictures of flowers and the just winged it.  Afterwords I was wishing I had taken some videos as a tutorial so I spent a ridiculous amount of time drawing a few tutorials (see them below) that pretty much give you no idea how to do this successfully haha sooo.... I've also included some links that I found ...

Valentine’s Day Puppy Chow without Peanut Butter; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

February 14, 2015 by Kristina Leave a Comment

Last year at Christmas I was looking through my pantry and thinking...hmmm... we don't eat cereal, what can I do with these crispy rice squares?  I've seen puppy chow my entire life but it normally sent me running away (because I have a deathly allergy to peanuts). Hmmmm could I make an allergen free version of Puppy Chow? My sister, who can have peanut butter, was over so I asked her to help me and taste test to see if it actually tasted the same as the peanuty version.  Apparently it does! Her ...
