Recipe: Vegan Chocolate Pudding

I feel like I need to disclose that I’m in no way vegan, but my avoidance of dairy leads me to things that are dairy-like but dairy-free and therefore vegan sometimes.  The inspiration from this recipe comes from here.  It’s originally a “raw” recipe, but my choice to use maple syrup makes it un-raw.
Bub declared [...]

Recipe: Cheesy Noodley Goodness

Sometimes, you just need a little comfort food.  However, if you are me, it’s a bit hard to come by when you can’t eat dairy, gluten, soy or corn.  I’ve been playing with cashew cream (soaked cashews blended with water) and decided to make a cheese sauce.  What better to pair that with than rice [...]

Test Kitchen: Pumpkin Bread

I tried this last week, using my banana bread recipe as a jumping point (mmmm).  It was okay, but a bit dry.   This one is in the oven and lest my method be replaced by madness before I have a chance to write it down, so begins the food allergy test kitchen. I’ll add the [...]

Banana Bread

It seems all I’m good for is recipes these days.  This banana bread came out good, really good.  Last one I made was flat, this was was much nice and rounded on top and perty.  And yummy.  I need another bread pan so I can double it and make two at a time.  Or maybe [...]

A match made in heaven

After trying the Sticks and Twigs, I decided they would definitely be even better with hummus.  I’ve been wanting to make hummus for about a month (procrastinate? who, me?).  These were just the motivation I needed.

You know you want some.  This is roasted red pepper, which has been my favorite kind of hummus lately (smeared [...]

If a tree falls in a forest…

The geniuses at Mary’s Gone have created this nummy new snack called Sticks & Twigs.  We were big fans of their crackers, before going soy free.  They have tamari in them… gluten free tamari… but still tamari, so they are out for me and Bean.
They must have been thinking of us when they made these [...]
