Tzatziki Sauce (Using a Cashew Base)
Since we can’t have falafel without Tzatziki Sauce (well, you can, but it’s better with), I had to get together a recipe. I started with a recipe at The Vedge, and added some additional things I like to it. Tzatziki Sauce (Using a Cashew Base) 1 cup cashew pieces (raw, unsalted) and soaked overnight in…

Millet and Blueberry Breakfast Polenta
You know, if you have a good list of allergies, as Denise and I both do, breakfast can be one of the worst meals. If you eat meat, bacon is usually safe, though sausage might or might not be. Take out eggs, gluten for pancakes and waffles… well, you get the picture. I miss going…

Year of the Snake Stir Fry
For the many years where the only allergen I needed to avoid was dairy, Asian restaurants of most types were a saving grace. With the exception of Indian cuisine, which uses cream and butter, most cuisines of the Asian continent use little to no dairy. Now that there are more allergens in my arsenal, it’s…

Whatever Wednesday: Bacon with Brown Sugar and Sriracha
Before I start my rhapsody on the glories of bacon and Sriracha, let me just confess that this wasn’t my idea and isn’t my recipe, which is why we’re posting it on Whatever Wednesday. For that we can thank Scott Hutcheson, whose recipe was provided in his blog, and then was picked up and discussed…
