Cookie Cake Recipe: Vegan and gluten free

Cinnamon Blueberry Bread: gluten, soy, egg, dairy free

One of the hardest gluten-egg-dairy free things for me to bake is bread. My breads with xanthum gum mixes come out ... strange...too stretchy.... can't bake, won't bake... if you've had it happen to you, you know what I mean. Also, I don't like the taste of the xanthum gum free mixes I've tried. After… Continue reading Cinnamon Blueberry Bread: gluten, soy, egg, dairy free

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

Saturday Morning Pancakes

Blueberry Pancake HappinessPancakes are one of my favorite foods.  When I was little, my parents made pancakes for us every weekend: round pancakes, bear pancakes, turtle pancakes, initial-letter pancakes.  And they were delicious! These days, gluten, soy, sugar, and dairy aren't my friends, but  I really don't like the idea of giving up my pancakes… Continue reading Saturday Morning Pancakes
