Dragontail Radish Pod Fridge Pickles
Last summer, I got behind in the garden and let some of the radishes go to seed. I was okay with that because the bees loved those flowers and I just let them be for the bees (yes, I know that’s an awful phrasing, but I couldn’t help it). So, doing what plants inevitably do…

Gluten-free Vegan Sprinkle Cookies
We were supposed to rework recipes this month, but nothing I want to work with is actually lending itself to rehabilitation. I was stuck. Then my friends at Treehouse Bakery in Phoenix posted this amazing photo of stacks of sprinkle cookies (see July 28th) and I was obsessed. The bakery is vegan, but I don’t…

Revisited Better than Sex Rum Caramel Sauce
Well, I loved the original version of out Better Than Sex Vegan Rum Caramel Sauce. Loved it. Seriously. And then the corn allergy reared its ugly head, and then I had to put maple syrup on the suspect list because of a few odd reactions (and I’m already allergic to maple pollen), so using corn…

Gluten-free Vegan Almond or Cashew Brownie Cookies
So, back in 2012, I thought I’d achieved brownie nirvana with my At Last Brownies recipe. I’d perfected a “normal” baking brownie in the year before, and this was my great gluten-free version. Then Denise posted her Killer Brownies recipe, adjusted for her then-allergies. Lately, neither of these versions is working great for me. I…

Revised Gluten-Free and Dairy-Free Pancakes
When we first started the blog, I was allergic to less stuff than I am now. When I first devised this recipe, I wasn’t allergic to corn yet, and I didn’t suspect chia seed as being potentially problematic (it’s on the suspect list, but I haven’t done a food challenge to verify yet). As a…

2017-07-07 Fabulous Food Allergy Friday
AND… we’re back. Hope you all had a good June — not sure what happened, given that it flew by faster than time should ever go. So, what have we been reading? I, MaryKate, have been checking out more food allergy bloggers like “Nope, Can’t Eat That Either” (a title I absolutely love). I’m also…

June Break Alert
Because Denise is busy planting the back 40 and dealing with some minor but annoying medical stuff, we’ve decided to take the month of June off. We may do some tinkering around here in the meantime, so don’t be surprised if you check in and things change a bit. But please meet us back here…

Vichyssoise — dairy-free
I am cheating here. You should know that up front. It is still condiment month around here, but rules that we make for ourselves are made to be broken, right? I could work out a long reason to connect cold potato soup, Memorial Day observances, and condiments, but let’s not. Let’s say that it’s getting…
Got any book recommendations?
