Fancy Little Birds (Oven-Roasted Herbed Cornish Game Hens)
I’m not a big holiday celebration person, but I do like cooking special food for special occasions. Christmas, growing up, was always a special meal, but it wasn’t one specific thing. For years, Christmas Eve was Welsh Rarebit (something like this recipe — completely not allergy-friendly beer cheese sauce over toast), and then it was…

DIY Creme de Cacao Liqueur
So the 15 food allergy thing, two of which are wheat and corn, ends up cutting out a whole lot of alcoholic beverages out of my diet. It’s looking like I may have another possible allergy (or three) on the horizon that may make my safe vodka no longer safe, so I was poking around…

Delicious Failure Ice Cream Cake
Cake. I adore cake. Cake is the whole point of birthdays, right? But allergies, man, they make cake harder. Gluten, dairy, eggs — all of these have structural properties in baking, and while it’s very possible to make cake without these things, when you take them all out, there are a lot of adjustments.

Blue Squash Ginger Soup
This soup was inspired by the huge fragment of a Blue Hubbard Squash I bought because I wanted to try one. But then I had to figure out what to do with 3.5 lbs of squash. That’s too much roasted squash to be reasonable, so I figured why not soup. Blue hubbard is weirdly blue-ish…

Gluten-free Pie Crust (vegan option)
When I first was diagnosed with my wheat allergy (yep, actually allergic, not celiac), I tried to do a pie crust. I figured that all I’d have to do is mix some rice flour with shortening (I still had a safe-ish one at that point) and a bit of salt and voila, it’d all work…
