Who doesn’t love a hearty dish like Beef Stroganoff on a cold fall or winter day? I know I do! Last winter I just had to do without; we didn’t have enough safe foods in mine or Zac’s diet to make such a delicious dinner. But this year, well, I have … Continue reading
So here’s a fun little recipe: Popped Quinoa. Back when I first made the Crispy Butter Candy Bars for Jed, I had the idea that puffed quinoa would be a great substitution for the puffed rice or puffed millet. If I could use puffed quinoa, then one day, those bars could … Continue reading
Once the stomach bug left, taking with it many of Zac’s safe foods (hopefully temporarily), I found myself trying to find a way to get him to eat cauliflower and cucumber. Despite wolfing them both down with gusto when we first introduced them in trials, he has since become rather … Continue reading
…and what to do with leftover oatmeal! Since we’re trialing oats right now, and Zac has gotten used to eating cookie-like items every day, I knew there had to be a way to make oatmeal cookies for him. After all, he’s got eggs, goat milk, goat milk butter, and quinoa … Continue reading
For two years, my primary foods have been beef and potatos. I’m quite talented at hamburgers and fries by this point, but on occasion, I want a little variety. Usually I make myself a pot roast or steaks, and switch from fries to mashed potatos or roast potatos. It’s not … Continue reading
The other day, out of nowhere, Jed announced he wanted Sunbutter Ice Cream. To my knowledge, he’s never even heard of Sunbutter Ice Cream before, so where he got this latest desire from I have no idea! (Maybe he’ll take after his Mama and be creative in the kitchen.) After … Continue reading
A while ago I shared how to make a cake or cupcake icing with no fructose and no dairy, and said it was awesome. I was mistaken. It was just okay. THIS is awesome! Spectacular, amazing, stupendous, delectable, perfection. Okay, I’m running out of adjectives. So here’s the story: Last … Continue reading
Sometimes not doing things the way you normally do leads to unexpected rewards. Like these cookies! I’ve said before that one of my time-saving kitchen tips is to cook a big pot of quinoa to leave in the fridge. Then I can simply scoop out however much I need as the … Continue reading
For my next “simple quinoa” recipe, here’s a recent development in my kitchen: Quinoa Banana Pudding. Well, sort of. Kinda. You’ll see. With bananas in our diet now, I thought there had to be a way to make a banana pudding for Zac. He’s past the pureed foods stage, of … Continue reading
Once egg was safe, I took my basic Quinoa Drop recipe and tweaked it. The result is a very yummy, very filling bread-type finger food that Zac just loves! I’ve made these into flatbreads, and I’ve also not smoothed them out on the cookie sheet and left them mounded for … Continue reading
