Homemade corn-free, egg-free, soy-free mayonnaise. It may not seem like a big deal to some, but for this food allergic foodie…it was nothing short of a Christmas miracle! 😀 Having this little gem of a recipe allowed me to make a corn-free, dairy/casein-free, egg-free and soy-free Ranch dressing on Christmas day to go along with […]
Gluten-Free, Casein-Free, Egg-Free Gingerbread House
posted on December 23, 2010 by
Today’s guest post is by my better half, the man “behind the curtain” in this Glutadoodle Oz of ours. Without Mike’s love and support, I never would have been able to go on this 18 month journey of self discovery and seeking out the answers to our family’s health issues. Little did he know 9 […]

Handcrafted Dairy/Casein-Free Chewy Caramels
posted on November 18, 2010 by
I am super excited about this recipe for gluten-free, dairy/casein-free caramels because I have tried it 3 times using different substitute ingredients and each one produced a buttery, chewy caramel candy…perfect for dipping apples, making homemade candy treats, you name it. First, let me tell you how I landed on it. I began my quest […]
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 […]

First, I must apologize for the lack of noodles in the above picture. I’m sure you can imagine the many uses for a plate full of fresh noodles that a 6 and 3 year old boy’s imagination could muster up (I’m still not sure how one ended up in the fishbowl). I am also sorry […]
Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Sopaipillas

Gluten-Free Sopaipillas. Fluffy “pillows” of fried dough, drizzled with sweet honey…oh, how I never thought this day would come!! 😀 Why is this such a big deal to me, you ask? Well, I live in New Mexico, the birthplace of sopaipillas and they are as commonplace in New Mexican restaurants as bread baskets are in […]
Shredded Beet Salad with Fresh Raspberry Vinaigrette
posted on July 28, 2010 by
I am not an intuitive cook, nor did I grow up in the kitchen with my mom (thus learning how to cook). My mom did not enjoy being in the kitchen and only did so because, well, we had to eat something. I really don’t know where I developed a passion for food, but from […]
Dairy-Free Fruit Parfaits and Fun Fruit Sundaes
posted on July 11, 2010 by
This is a new favorite dessert of mine, it also makes for a high fiber breakfast. I have been on a melon kick lately and have been branching outside of the cantaloupe, honeydew and watermelons that I usually buy. In the above photo, the peach colored melon is a Crenshaw Melon. According to FoodReference.com: Crenshaw […]
Funny Oranges
posted on May 4, 2010 by
After I got the Breville Citrus Press and started making fresh squeezed orange juice each morning, I found myself knee deep in orange peels. Instead of throwing them all away, I wondered if I could use some of them for a fun lunchbox treat. I remembered seeing a recipe for Gelatin Oranges on Disney’s Family […]
