Hot Water Cornbread Surprise & Veggie Breakfast Pancakes

AND So I was looking around for some novel ways to use spaghetti squash recently, and stumbled upon Beard & Bonnet’s Hot Water Cornbread recipe.  Well, butter my butt and call me a biscuit, Mama!  My southern roots just vibrated with happiness! One thing about FPIES that really ticks me … Continue reading

Perfect Pot Roast

One of my favorite meals is Pot Roast.  At the start of this elimination diet I felt confident I could maintain it because, well, my diet was basically variations of pot roast. At the risk of sounding boastful, I must say that I make an awesome Pot Roast.  Really.  Ask anyone … Continue reading

Dairy, Egg & Gluten Free Chicken & Rice Casserole

Well, it’s been a little serious here lately, what with probiotic trials, paper eating, and Mommy Meltdowns, so I’m lightening it up a bit with a new recipe today! When Jed was first diagnosed with MPI (Milk Protein Intolerance) I struggled mightily in the kitchen.  ALL of my limited cooking … Continue reading

Coconut Milk Vanilla Ice Cream with Homemade Magic Shell Topping

Once coconut milk was back on the menu, I dug out my old coconut recipes to see what I could do, and found our “favorite ice cream on earth recipe” made completely from coconut milk! This recipe is basically an internet staple; I’ve seen it in a million different places … Continue reading

Dairy and Fructose Free Chocolate Easter Bunnies

In February, I had a miserable time trying to make some Valentine’s Day chocolates for Jed.  The poor child has never had a chocolate bar in his life, and I was determined to make some for him!  I failed, but I vowed I would keep trying until I got it … Continue reading

Hearty “Vegan” Creamy Chicken Soup

So here’s the story: it’s Monday afternoon, and time for me to make some dinner for my family.  I’ve fallen out of my meal planning routine months ago, thanks to Zac and Jed’s food issues (I have to get back into that!) and I have NO idea what to make … Continue reading

Vegan Cheese Quesadillas

I had to share this with you!  This was dinner for the boys last night: Pretty unremarkable looking, I suppose…until you find out that these quesadillas were made with homemade vegan cheddar that TASTES GOOD!!! I wish I could take credit for this recipe, but I cannot.  The brilliant mind … Continue reading

Banana Quinoa Breakfast Bake

A while back, one of the moms on the FPIES boards asked for quinoa recipes. Another Mama recommended the website Healthful Pursuit, saying she had a ton of quinoa recipes! Always on the lookout for new recipes – or inspiration for creating my own – I checked it out. Am … Continue reading

Cilantro-Lime Crock Pot Chicken

One thing I figured out early on in my elimination diet is that I’m basically eating a modified (and greatly limited) Paleo Diet. I’m not convinced that strictly Paleo is the way to go, but I can’t argue that grains (specifically wheat) and sugar are poison for my body! Consequently, … Continue reading

Homemade Breakfast Sausage

Long before I even became pregnant with Mr. Happy, I started making my own breakfast sausage.  By that point, Mr. Charm’s food issues had started our “reading labels” adventure, and I was sort of disgusted by what I found in most breakfast sausages.  It was enough to make you go … Continue reading
