If only vitamins were returnable… I think that we have tried out every brand of “allergy free” vitamins for kids that is on the market in the U.S. Until a couple of weeks ago, they all caused reactions. A word of caution. One of the many, many brands was actually given to us by the [...]

This recipe makes a decadently gooey mass of popcorn that will take your next movie night to a new level. The caramel sauce comes together in the time it takes to air- or oil- pop a large bowl. 1 tablespoon canola oil 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons water 8 – 10 cups popped [...]
Chickpea-Rice Veggie Burgers
Posted in gluten free (GF/CF), low histamine, main meals, snacks, vegan, yeast free on September 17, 2007 | 6 Comments »
These veggie burgers freeze and re-heat well. They are mild-tasting enough to go with just about anything you’d like to top them with — from the traditional ketchup and mustard to my favorite, salsa verde. They leave sandwiches behind and enter the realm of dinner-you-would-serve-to-guests when topped with Oven – Roasted Red Peppers, and served [...]

My favorite Indian appetizer, mainly because I love to slather on the chutney. The chutney is also great on grilled chicken or just about anything. I’ve been known to eat it with a spoon. Cilantro Chutney 1 bunch cilantro, rinsed and with tough stems removed (about 1 1/2 cups packed) 1 cup packed fresh mint, [...]
Swamp Goo Green Smoothie

Sounds weird, looks gross, but tastes really good and packs a nutritional punch. This is a great smoothie to drink while breastfeeding, because the kale provides calcium and folate and boosts milk production. The hemp powder adds protien and Omega-3s. 1 cup frozen pineapple 1 banana, fresh or frozen 2 leave of flat-leaf kale, stems [...]
Fried Zucchini Pinwheels

These are a great party starter or appetizer to serve with drinks. They look and taste much more complicated than they are to make. Kids love shaking the bag to coat the zukes, and might even be tempted to eat some vegetables. This is my vegan and allergen-free version of Lidia Matticchio Bastianich’s fried succhini recipe. Canola oil [...]

Crispy on the outside, creamy and custard-like on the inside, these ”fries” are a hit with everyone who tries them. And chickpea flour is so good for you, you can convince yourself these fritters are health food. This is my modification of Madhur Jaffery’s recipe in her wonderful book World Vegetarian. ½ cup plus 2 teaspoons [...]
