I am really excited to share my first guest post with you today! I “met” Diane Bramos quite some time ago on Twitter, when she was still known as @pilateschik (Diane’s new Twitter name is @MrsAwwsum), and we have had many wonderful gluten-free “life conversations” ever since. I love Diane’s enthusiasm for leading a healthy […]

Dye-Free Star Wars Lego Birthday Cake (and a Giveaway Winner)
posted on October 20, 2010 by
Have you ever tried to make a Lego birthday cake without gluten, dairy, eggs, soy and artificial colorings? Let’s just say it’s challenging. The gluten, dairy, soy and artificial colorings are actually a breeze to replace, but eggs are an entirely different matter, they play a very important part in baking! I made 17 different […]

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Egg-Free Pop Tarts
posted on October 11, 2010 by
Gluten-Free Pop Tarts, I still can’t believe it (and nevermind the goldfish, it’s a bonafide illness of mine)! 😀 I have attempted homemade gluten-free pop tarts many times over the years using various recipes that call for pie crust. While the end results were always tasty, they were not the Pop Tarts™ I remember from […]

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free “Hostess” Cupcakes
posted on October 5, 2010 by
Homemade Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free”Hostess” Cupcakes, why did it take me so long to try this? I guess I forgot that “Fresh, Wholesome Hostess and Kids Go Together!” 😯 Did you notice the part about being fresh and wholesome? I won’t comment on the “wholesome” aspects because I think we can all agree that we know that […]
Gluten-Free Dairy-Free Egg-Free Soy-Free French Toast Sticks
posted on October 4, 2010 by
Disclaimer: The actual French Toast that you see in the picture is NOT dairy-free and egg-free. I began this impromptu project late in the evening and I was too tired to make up some homemade dairy-free pancake mix and bake a fresh loaf of vegan bread (especially since I have never made it before)…but the […]

Vegan Cashew Cream Cheese, Vitamixed
posted on September 27, 2010 by
I am feeling pretty darn excited about this homemade vegan cashew cream cheese I recently made, thanks to the amazing Carrie over at Ginger Lemon Girl! Seriously, who’da thunk it?? Sure, vegans have known about the amazing powers of nuts for years, but, I am not a vegan. I’m not even dairy-free (yet), so up […]
