Corn & Sugar-Free Homemade Ketchup

A while back I posted my homemade ketchup recipe. It’s delicious, it’s perfect, it’s wonderful…and we can no longer use it! When I first started making it, I only made it for Jed. I knew that vinegar was made from corn, but that was okay. This wasn’t for Zac. Later … Continue reading

Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Quinoa Pancakes (& Fructose Friendly!)

The addition of baking soda to our diets has been wonderful  for baking. It really helps make everything I’ve ever made for Zac fluffier and better textured than they were without it. Including these gluten-free dairy-free quinoa pancakes! A while ago, I realized that the cookie recipe I make for him … Continue reading

Homemade Conversation Heart Candies

Making allergy and intolerance safe, healthier versions of traditional treats for my kiddos on holidays has become somewhat of a mission for me. Last year, I finally managed to master making homemade dairy-free chocolates for Jed, which helped make Easter, Christmas, and Halloween more traditional for him. However, we recently discovered … Continue reading

About two years ago I made some gummy treats for Jed. The recipe I used was simple and delicious, and since I didn’t change a thing about it I only shared the link, not the whole recipe. We loved those gummy treats! There were only two things I wanted to … Continue reading

Quinoa Roll Out Cookies

Right off the bat I will tell you that this recipe does NOT taste like manna from Heaven. Unlike the “sugar” cookies I created for Jed, these cookies taste like a dry cracker. After all, there isn’t any sweetener in them at all! But for people on a restricted diet, … Continue reading

Fructose Friendly Sugar Cookie Roll Outs

This recipe makes me so happy. It also happens to thrill my 4 year old son, who had never experienced a “sugar” cookie roll-out in his life until I created this cookie for him. While Jed can now have goat milk, he still has to avoid eggs, wheat, sugar, and … Continue reading

Dextrose Dessert Decoration – Sugar & Food Dye Free

Valentine’s Day is just about two weeks away, and that means parties. Oh, and romance, but I can’t help you with that! For us food allergic families, it’s also a time to – once again – lament the fact that we can’t participate in so many yummy food traditions. Take … Continue reading

Cornbread – Vegan, Gluten-Free, and Fructose Friendly!

I suspect that if you’re born in the South it is somehow genetically implanted in your DNA to have a love of cornbread. Maybe that’s an exaggeration, but it is undeniable that Southerners are fond of cornbread! Even being born and raised in the South, I’ll admit to having “cheated” on … Continue reading

Salmon Pate

Every year for Thanksgiving, my family traditionally lays out a plate of “snacks”: stuffed celery sticks, black and green olives, and pickles are always present, and sometimes other little goodies make an appearance. It’s just enough to take the edge off the hunger brought on by all those delicious cooking … Continue reading
