Day two of my Allergen Free Christmas (after Christmas) cookie posts features these delicious gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free Egg Free Lemon Sugar cookies. These were the first type of cookie to disappear at our family Christmas celebration (sorry Santa, I'll save you some next year)! The two people that gobbled down the most of these? My husband and my gluten eating brother in law. That's always a good sign! These are sweet, tart and allergy friendly! The perfect cookie to make ...

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 ...
Soy Free, Gluten Free Ginger Dipping Sauce, Benihana Copycat Recipe; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe
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, ...
Healthier Green Bean Casserole; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Egg Free Recipe
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 ...
Apple Cider Glazed Pork Tenderloin with Roast Squash
Two weeks ago I made this and told my dad about it. Last week I decided I wanted to have him over for dinner and told him I was going to make a root vegetable pot roast. He said no....he wanted this :). It's good enough to have once a week so that's fine with me! I love fall food! Apples, pork, squash, cider - this is the perfect autumn dinner. It will definitely be on the menu every year when the leaves start to change! It also happens to be naturally gluten free, soy free, dairy free, nut ...
Italian Chicken with Red Skin Potatoes and Green Beans
I don't really cook many SUPER EASY dishes. "What!?" you say. I know, I'm crazy right? Not really, most of the super easy dishes I used to make were full of gluten, dairy, soy and all kinds of preservatives and nasty stuff. Think, throw some rice in a baking dish. Top with chicken breasts and some type of jiggly, creamy, full of msg canned "soup". It's not that I don't like to cook easy stuff. It just tends to take a bit more prep time to cook a meal without that junk. I stumbled across this ...
End of the Garden Stuffed Yellow Squash (or Zucchini); Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
The end of the summer is growing near :( boo! I'm almost sick of yellow squash and zucchini - almost! When the end of the summer draws near vegetables in the garden start to produce less often and I tend to forget to harvest them regularly. This means that there will inevitably be a few zuchinni and summer squash that we'll forget to pick and will grow HUGE. What can you do with a giant zuchinni or yellow squash? I'd imagine there are multiple things; however, the skins get tougher and the ...
Classic Buttercream Icing, Frosting Icing (Without Shortening); Gluten Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Egg Free Recipe (with option for Dairy Free & Vegan)
Yesterday I posted a recipe for an allergen free cake I made for my little one's cake smash photos. The cake (of course) is not complete without some frosting. Personally, I always hated the icing on cakes. I look back now and it is pretty gross with all of the hydrogenated oils :(. This frosting is SUPER rich, sweet, and delicious. I modified it slightly from a recipe by A Savory Sweet Life. It's made without shortening (hydrogenated oils) and only includes 4 ingredients. This frosting is ...
Organic, Allergen Free, Low Sugar, Carrot, Zucchini Spice 1st Birthday “Smash” Cake; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Corn Free, Nut Free, Egg Free, Chocolate Free
Like I mentioned before, my little one's first birthday is fast approaching. I've been up early multi-tasking like a mad person every morning. I kid you not, I had no idea I can do so many projects at one time! We had a one year photo shoot on Friday so I was up early Friday morning trying to finish everything last minute - I thought I was going to have a melt down. Oddly though, every single thing I did in my panicked rush turned out perfect, from my Maritime Flag Birthday Banner backdrop, to ...
Garlicky Broccoli; Gluten Free, Soy Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Recipe
I bought a cook book a few weeks ago centered around cooking from the garden. It features recipes from the early 1900s - the thing is, none of the recipes are for vegetables. You know why? Because when vegetables are fresh, they're perfect steamed. I bought the biggest, I mean BIGGEST head of broccoli at the farmers market on Wednesday. I love my broccoli steamed but I can only eat so much of it. This recipes is light and clean' it's also gluten free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, egg ...
