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 ...

This is my second to last Allergen free Christmas cookie post for the year and it is definitely one you'll want to save!  These Chocolate Peppermint Drop Cookies are reminiscent of those delicious girl scout cookies all of us folks with food intolerances haven't been able to eat (but have been dreaming about) for years. They're also gluten free, dairy free, soy free, and nut free (with options for egg free and corn free). In case you haven't been following my blog - yes, it is January, and yes, ...

Allergen Free Gingerbread Cookies; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Egg Free, Corn Free Recipe

January 28, 2015 by Kristina 5 Comments

So, I have about 10 draft posts about an elimination diet I did for my FIL, along with them a bunch of really great homestyle, healthy recipes for the elimination diet BUT.....I want to post these absolutely amazing, allergy friendly Christmas cookies first. Sorry! I know, January is all about New Years resolutions and healthy lifestyle changes - Well, it's January 28th so you've probably all blown your diets by now anyways :) just kidding!

Turkey and Oregano Meatballs with Sauteed Mushrooms, Spinach & Spaghetti Squash; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Lactose Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Egg Free Recipe

January 10, 2015 by Kristina 1 Comment

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 ...

Soy Free, Gluten Free Ginger Dipping Sauce, Benihana Copycat Recipe; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe

January 2, 2015 by Kristina 2 Comments

Once you go soy free you pretty much have to get over the fact that you'll no longer be able to eat Asian foods, definitely Chinese take out. Oh how I miss Chinese take out!!! Japanese food is another thing we missed, sushi, sake and our hibachi favorites from Teppanyaki restaurants. Did I lose you? I'm sure you know sushi, and sake (it's rice wine but it may or may not be gluten free, dairy free, and soy free! - see my post here).  Hibachi is a form of cooking device popular in Japan, ...

Gingerbread Pancakes; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe

December 23, 2014 by Kristina 1 Comment

I am OBSESSED with my gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free homemade pancake mix. I created it a few years ago when i decided that gluten free pancake mixes and gluten free bisquick are ridiculously expensive (why are they so expensive?) and I wouldn't spend money on them anymore. I have been using it multiple times per week since then. Seriously,  we go through a ton of it each month. Ive been really obsessed with creating new types of flavored pancakes too. Why? Because it's fun, it's ...

It's a few days before Christmas and I still haven't made any of the allergen free Christmas cookies that I make every year (a great basic recipe can be found here), I still haven't posted the Maple Sweetened Cranberry Sauce that I created for Thanksgiving, and I'm just now getting to posting this....luckily, like the original 1950s recipe, this gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free Green Bean Casserole recipe has only a few ingredients! Looks yummy huh? I'm constantly experimenting to ...

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…
