As usual I'm playing catch up and I'm still trying to finish up all of the posts surrounding my son's second birthday party. I cooked everything from scratch (with help from my mom and step mom) and happily, everyone complimented me on both the party itself and all of the food (which was really awesome because although I planned the meal, I was winging the recipes - some I had made before but didn't write down, like this one, and some I completely made up)! We eat gluten free, dairy free, soy ...

Soy Free Stir Fry, Bok Choy, Broccoli and Chicken; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
First harvest of the season! It's always so exciting to start reeping the rewards of all of you hard work all spring! My garden was going strong and then, overnight all of my brassicas started to wilt :(. I was so bummed, especially to see 3 heads of bok choy so wilted they had to be pulled. I figured out the cause (read about it here) and it was spreading so I decided to harvest the 6 heads of baby bok choy that were still looking perfect, then I had to decide how to use them. This was also a ...
Dairy Free Corn Chowder; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
One of the best things about holiday cooking are not only the traditional holiday meals, but also the traditional after holiday meals. This one may surprise you but it's become a staple in my house both after Easter and after Christmas with leftover ham. My husband doesn't eat ham and bean soup that my family always made growing up to use the ham bone and leftover ham (I personally love it and have a ham bone in the freezer waiting) so for years I was left questioning "what can I make with ...
Grilled Lamb Gyros; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
It was getting warmer, so I decided it was time to fire up the grill for the first time of the season! First up, these grilled lamb gyros that you can easily make gluten free, dairy free, soy free and nut free by using gluten free pitas and making homemade dairy free tzatziki sauce! Honestly these were not the type of meal I would normally make first thing in the spring, but I FINALLY found plain coconut milk greek yogurt at the grocery store. I have no idea why it took so long for them to start ...
Dairy Free Tzatziki Sauce; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
When you first go gluten free, dairy free, soy free and nut free you feel like there's nothing you can eat. I mean honestly, how do you make a dip without cream cheese or sour cream? Or a creamy soup without cream? If you can have soy, or nuts then there are some sour cream and cream cheese substitutes out there, some made with soy, some made with nuts, and some made with pea protein (which, falls into the legume family and relates closely to soy and therefore can't be had by me anyways). ...
Crockpot French Onion Pot Roast; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Allergy Friendly Recipe
These pictures have been sitting here forever so it's kind of random but I'm going to post this family favorite today. There's one meal that tastes surprisingly good everytime I make it. For some reason, I was not a fan of pot roast growing up, I'm not sure what happened but now I love it. We used to jazz the roast up with some onion soup packets - not anymore! We gave up preservatives and all kinds of other stuff years ago! This is completely made from scratch. If you make your own ...
Maple Glazed Pork Chops; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
I made the best meal on Valentine's day - a steakhouse quality meal at home (and with no steak). We always seem to lean towards grass fed filet mignons for special evenings at home but I decided I wanted to make something a little different. I chose to make pork because I decided I was going to make some turnip greens and they sounded good together. So here it is, Maple Glazed Pork Chops. I served them over homemade mashed potatoes with some bacon braised turnip greens. It was ridiculously good ...
Lamb and Winter Veggie Stew; Elimination Diet Recipe
I'm constantly trying to find easy recipes that have a lot of vegetables because I try to get at least 6 or 7 servings of veg a day- They're not easy to find! Then try to find a recipe with lots of veggies that's also nightshade free (like the elimination diet calls for) and it gets even harder. Well, here's one to add to your repertoire! Aside from taking the time to chop all of these veggies and brown some meat, this is really simple - set it and forget it. I have a ton of soup recipes ...
Crock Pot Buffalo Chili; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
Everytime my mom swings by she's dropping me random things. A lot of times, like 2 weeks ago when I was sick, she'll swing through and bake a quick Broccoli and Ham Quiche for me (they are our go-to, we store them in the fridge (they're good for at least 4 days) if we don't have the time or energy to cook breakfast in the near future), the time before that, some pickled herring for me to drop off to my grandma, after thanksgiving, a turkey carcass for me to make broth, and about a month ago, ...
Turkey and Oregano Meatballs with Sauteed Mushrooms, Spinach & Spaghetti Squash; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Lactose Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Egg Free Recipe
There is no title that will give this recipe justice....seriously. The first time I made it I decided to try it simply because I needed some easy to chew, easier to digest proteins for my FIL to eat while he was doing an elimination diet (so it also had to be gluten free, soy free, dairy free, lactose free, nut free, egg free, citrus free, nightshade free, yeast free & more). My FIL loves spaghetti squash, onions, and mushrooms and I personally was determined to get him to eat some greens ...
