Harvest Veggie Soup; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Vegan Optional Recipe

March 28, 2020 by Kristina 1 Comment

Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Allergen friendly harvest Veggie soup made with root vegetables

It's cold and rainy in Michigan today and I'm wishing I had some homemade chicken broth ready for a soup like this one. This soup is naturally gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, egg free and can be easily made vegan. It also could easily be made nightshade free with the elimination of the tomatoes. I first had a soup like this at one of my favorite restaurants. They hosted a charity event for my son's preschool, a "Harvest Social" and featured their version of this soup. I actually ...

Bruschetta Chicken over Spaghetti Squash; Gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free recipe

February 9, 2018 by Kristina Leave a Comment

We're in the middle of the most hyped snow storm I can remember in Michigan - school was cancelled before the snow started yesterday and we, owning a construction company, scrambled to get a tarp over a house that we ripped the second story off this week (don't worry, we own the place) and determined that today would be a snow day for our business also. The snow started this morning (Friday AM) and will continue through Sunday - they say we'll get 9" today alone! I made the unfortunate mistake ...

Crock Pot Hawaiian Shredded Pork Over Rice; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

November 30, 2016 by Kristina Leave a Comment

It has been absolutely FOREVER since I last posted and we're now to the point of the year where it gets really hard to get good photos of the food I'm making for dinner because it's dark at like 5pm - booo! However, because I haven't posted at all during the summer I have a whole folder full of the fresh, healthy, gluten, dairy, soy and nut free meals that I made, photographed and LOVED throughout the sunny months.  First up, this Crock Pot Hawaiian Shredded Pork, it is delicious over rice, the ...

“Unrolled” Pork and Napa Cabbage Egg Rolls; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

August 11, 2016 by Kristina Leave a Comment

Do you miss egg rolls? If you're gluten free,  dairy free, soy free, and nut free like me, there aren't many easy substitutes. I tried a rice paper egg roll and it was a disaster. We still ate it (and it tasted good) but you had to peel through a gooey layer of slimy rice paper that didnt really fry up. I was staring at this opened bottle of Sweet Ginger Chili by the Ginger People, that we ate with the failed egg rolls, in the fridge (this stuff is amazing!) And decided I needed to try again. ...

Roast Zucchini & Yellow Squash with Thyme

August 9, 2016 by Kristina Leave a Comment

My poor mother is gluten free, dairy free, soy free, corn free, garlic free, nightshade (aka tomatoes, potatoes, peppers) free, black pepper free, and onion free. What does she eat? Not a ton, which is why I'm happy when I can cook her something that she really enjoys!  When we were up in Glen Arbor at her log cabin over the Fourth of July we cooked tacos for everyone (using this Frontera Chicken Taco Sauce Pouch over sliced chicken, and Frontera Beef Taco Sauce Pouch over ground beef) She had ...

Lamb Chops with Tart Cherry Chutney and Cantaloupe Salsa

August 8, 2016 by Kristina Leave a Comment

So, I can't tell if the title of this recipe, the pictures for this recipe, even the thought of this recipe sounds good BUT BELIEVE ME! This recipe is fantastic! The harvest is in full swing and we've been eating good and reaping the benefits! I created this recipe last week, modified from my recipe for Pork Tenderloin with Tart Cherry Sauce and modeled after an appetizer I had in Charlevoix,  Michigan at the Weathervane Restaurant earlier in July. We try to cook what's in season and it was the ...

Oven Roasted Sweet Potato or Butternut Squash Cubes

July 25, 2016 by Kristina Leave a Comment

I was going to post my recipe for Sweet Potato and Chorizo Hash last night but we got home from vacation and there was mysteriously bird poop all around the inside of the house.  Where's the bird? No idea (frightening). Anyways, so the hash recipe will come soon enough, until then, here's a super simple recipe that's a great base for a bunch of recipes I make all of the time (see the list below - includes the hash I will be making soon). All of them are gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut ...

Maple Tarragon Carrots; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Egg Free Side Dish Recipe

May 15, 2016 by Kristina Leave a Comment

I have been making these way too much lately.  Seriously, at least once a week. My husband is tired of carrots and it's SPRING so I've decided to post the recipe before I retire them for awhile! Spring in Michigan means that there will be a multitude of fresh organic vegetables at our fingertips soon. During the winter months, fresh organics can be harder to come by so these Maple Tarragon Carrots are great to make use of those organic bagged baby carrots that are always in stock at the grocery ...

Homemade Southwest Chicken Soup; gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free recipe

March 19, 2016 by Kristina Leave a Comment

Happy St. Patrick's day! Do I care about it? Not really.  Long gone are the college days of waking up early to drink chemical and gluten laden green beer and eat complimentary bowls of lucky charms.  Annnnd who am I kidding? I never woke up early back then anyways. Most St. Patrick's days that I can remember I didn't roll out of bed until after noon - then I showered, popped on my "mini hat" (a St. Patrick's day tradition within my group of friends from college) and went to the bar, where I ...
