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 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 ...
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 ...
Quinoa Pilaf with Mushrooms
The first time my husband had quinoa a few years ago it was at a quaint little restaurant in the fishing town of Leland in the Northern Lower Peninsula of Michigan. If you haven't visited Northern Michigan do a Google search right now and start pinning all of the cool places you want to visit :). I grew up spending my summers "up North" as we call it "down state" (Southern Michigan), but didn't realize how amazingly lucky we are in Michigan to have such beautiful waters, beaches, hills, and ...
Greek Breakfast Salad; Gluten Free, Dairy Free, Soy Free, Nut Free, Yeast Free Recipe
Yesterday I posted my recipe for Lemon Greek Dressing. Today, a quick post for a breakfast salad. I never thought about doing this until I was talking to my sister about how I'm determined to eat 10+ servings of fruits and vegetables a day. She recommended a breakfast salad. Sounds good to me! This also ties in with my "Veggies for Breakfast" Series. In case you're interested in seeing more posts, simply search for "Veggies for Breakfast" in the search bar on the right hand side of the ...
