Eliza’s Breakfast Chili
Welcome to BREAKFAST MONTH here at Surviving the Food Allergy Apocalypse. While Denise is generally up way before I am (and not just because she’s in a time zone that is three hours earlier), neither of us is big on cooking first thing in the morning. How do you cook before coffee? But we’re both…

Stir-fried Potatoes with pork and cabbage
This recipe is very loosely inspired by northern Chinese Hunan province recipes for spicy potatoes. I think it was end of winter, but I just wanted hot potatoes and cabbage with pork, and this dish definitely fit the bill. Finding the right meat was harder than I thought it would be — pork was the…

WW: Why Hot Pot is the Allergy-Friendly, Interactive Meal You’ve Been Waiting For
This past holiday season, my boss’ treat to our small staff was a trip to a local hot pot restaurant. With a little effort, we were able to work around my food allergy issues, and it was a really great staff lunch. Well, except for the being too full to walk afterwards part. I started…

Garlic Potato Scallion Snacks
In February, we’ve decided to play with garlic. Mmmmm, garlic. It’ll keep the vampires away, but it’s also good for colds and such.

Clean Fridge Grain Bowl
Treat. Yo. Self. To a cleaner fridge and several healthy meals. I realize this might be a stretch in the “treat” category, but hear me out. I really LIKE vegetables, and I feel really good, both mentally and physically, when I eat a bunch of them. I’m not a fruit person, really. I love veg.…

Coconut Milk Vegan Fudge
The first recipe I ever perfected was fudge. I admit, part of it had to do with the fact that fudge was something my mom had given up on making well. Starting in about middle school, to judge by the handwriting on the recipe card, I made many batches of fudge each winter. Teachers, family,…
