So today is National Doughnut (Donut?) Day. Even though I am dairy and gluten free, there is never a time a will say a don't want a doughnut (or pizza, for that matter). Since I'm on summer vacation and had no plans, I thought it would be the perfect day to experiment. After much perusing… Continue reading Happy National Doughnut Day

(Not Another) Pancake Post
Yesterday, I tweaked my recipe for dairy-gluten-egg-soy free pancakes. I've had trouble with egg-free pancakes. They taste fine, but it's hard to add nuts and fruit to them, they crumble easily, are held together by coconut oil and a prayer, and have a wet texture, even when fully cooked. Well... yesterday's tweaking gave me the… Continue reading (Not Another) Pancake Post

Two delicious recipes for gluten free, dairy free, egg free, and soy free pumpkin cake
Basic Sweet Potato Soup
Basic. Three ingredients. 10 minutes. It's also nut, dairy, and gluten free. And organic, if you please. It started this weekend when the stomach bug meant solid foods were not an option. I had some chicken broth and a couple sweet potatoes on hand. I cut a small-medium sweet potato and baked it in the… Continue reading Basic Sweet Potato Soup

Anyway, here is my recipe for oven roasted sweet potatoes: Sweet potatoes are much stouter than their russet potato cousins. I've found that cutting the sweet potato… Continue reading Roasted Sweet Potatoes
No-mato Spaghetti Sauce
Summer vacation means extra time to try cooking new dishes. This week's experiment was no-mato sauce for spaghetti squash spaghetti. I love spaghetti, but tomatoes are not on the friend list. Just for good measure, I wanted to leave out garlic and onions, because they're a little suspect at the moment. I can't say much… Continue reading No-mato Spaghetti Sauce
Pancakes II
This recipe is very similar to the other gluten-free, dairy-free recipe I posted here. However, in an attempt to stick as close to my elimination diet as I can (and still eat pancakes, of course), I've left out the eggs... and added a few more things. So, here is the gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free version!… Continue reading Pancakes II
Curry-less Curry Sauce
This recipe was an attempt to make an AIP-friendly sauce for hot pot. So far, I've used this sauce to cook bok choy, nappa cabbage, shrimp, lamb, and sweet potatoes. All of these have tasted wonderful. This sauce is as close to curry as I've been able to get for a while. See, I love… Continue reading Curry-less Curry Sauce
