Shaking it up: New Directions for Surviving the Food Allergy Apocalypse
Surviving the Food Allergy Apocalypse was born out of frustration-fueled conversations Denise and MaryKate started about 6 years ago. First we bitched about giving up foods we loved. Then we started talking foods we could still have; meeting, spreadsheet(s), blog. Logical progression, right? Denise is a lawyer. MaryKate is an historian. But we were both…

Mango Slaw
I just spent a week in Hawai’i, the Big Island, and came home to cold and dreary weather. We hit avocado season there, which was amazing, but also found lots of fresh papaya, some passion fruit, and some interesting varieties of dragon fruit. But back here on the mainland, the tropical fruit variety is less…

Warm Bacon & Kale Salad
This will be a quick post. This salad is really loosely based on some paleo salad recipe that I found and Jack made a while back. We really liked it, but this time it’s edited to use up whatever we had in the house this time around. The basis for that salad was sauteing the…

2017-10-20 Fabulous Food Allergy Friday
I (Denise) harvested a fair amount of daikon radish from the garden and I’ve been looking for things to do with it. If I switch out the corn starch for tapioca, I’m pretty sure I could make these Daikon Radish Cakes. And they look yummy. I’d have to do a few substitutions on this recipe…

MaryKate’s Favorite Baked Potatoes
Back in January when Denise and I outlined our year, I knew that “comfort food month” would include potatoes. My absolute go-to whenever I want comfort food is some form of potato. For me, the fries at 5 Guys are safe, so on a road trip, I’m likely to hit them up. I have made…
