  • Quick-ish Marinara Sauce

    One of the things I really miss is a great meatball sub with gobs of cheese.  Since I’m allergic to dairy, wheat, and eggs (in addition to what feels like 50 million other things) that’s a little hard.  I haven’t totally figured it out yet, because there isn’t a vegan cheese that works for me…

  • Brown Rice “Couscous” Veggie Bowl

    Generally those of us with multiple food allergies can rely on very little in the way of packaged or convenience foods. Given that both Denise and I also work full-time, sometimes feeding oneself on a serious time budget becomes, well, problematic.  When I still ate wheat, couscous was something I always had on hand because…

  • 15 Minute Salsa

    Since I also cannot buy salsa during this whole elimination torture thing (most have celery and onion, which are two no-no’s at the moment), I whipped this up so I’d have something to eat at my book group, since I’d gotten “regular” allergen-filled food for everyone else.  I wasn’t going for culinary genius, but just…

  • Cashew-Chocolate Pudding Popsicles

    When we were trying to think up something festive for this holiday week, we considered that ice cream seemed the best way to go. July 4th is a barbeque holiday, yes, (though why independence and charred tubes of mystery meat are so closely inter-related I will never understand), but we’ve covered barbeque pretty well up…

  • Red Lentil Dal Burger

    I LOVE dal.  It’s almost a perfect food — cheap, easy to make, adaptable, tasty…  But it can be difficult, like so many other things, to order out at a restaurant with allergies.  Dal is one of those dishes that seems to have a thousand and one “family recipes” so you never know what you…

  • Tiffany's Artichoke Dip

    When I was in graduate school, we had a lot of parties.  I’m a nerdy sort, so these weren’t “trash can punch” kind of parties, but beer and wine and mostly lots of food kind of parties.  And they were always potluck, because no one had any money.  Certain things became favorites, so people never…

  • Margarita Tropical Fruit Salad

    So, last weekend it snowed in New Hampshire, and this weekend it’s been 95°F all weekend. Hilarious. I don’t handle the heat well, if at all, nor do I handle the crazy freaking changes well. The humidity and corresponding air quality in New Hampshire has been known to send me right into an asthma attack.…

  • Gluten-free Bread Rounds

    I was trying to make pita bread.  Which, this really isn’t.  Mainly in that it’s not as dry as pita bread (which is kind of weird, because you can usually count on gluten-free bread being drier than wheat bread), nor as puffy, and without the cavity in the middle.  And they’re smaller — given the…
