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 ...
Allergen Free Pumpkin Pie; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
I told you I was going to make pumpkin pie! Okay, I've been saying it since August - sorry! I figured it's now or wait another year so here's my second "Allergen Free Thanksgiving" post - my gluten free, soy free, dairy free, nut free pumpkin pie. This doesn't include the crust recipe. I'm sorry! I haven't found one that I love yet and keep resorting to store bought. If you have a great recipe feel free to post it below! I have a lot of pumpkin. This is a modification of the traditional ...
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 ...
Apple Fritter Pancakes with Cinnamon; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free Recipe
The title makes these sound like they'd be really fattening and horrible for you doesn't it? Good news! All the flavor and texture of apple fritters but less sugar, less fat, no gluten, no dairy, no soy, no nuts :). These have only a tiny bit more sugar than my regular GF pancakes and they are great without the addition of maple syrup (so less sugar overall for us)! They are doughy on the inside, crispy around the edges, apple cinnamon-y goodness! They are the absolute perfect fall ...
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 ...
