All Caesar’s are created equal, right? Not so fast! Any balanced study of history (ancient and culinary) will help you understand that there are many different ways to govern (or garnish). Some Caesars are wise rulers, yet some use too much salt. Other Caesars couldn’t last for more than a few months, yet some couldn’t […]
Gluten-Free Vegan French Onion Dip, Football Party Food (and a few giveaway winners)
posted on November 18, 2011 by
Since going dairy-free earlier this year there have been few things I actually miss (I’m not vegan but we don’t eat dairy and my son is allergic to eggs). Which is really quite surprising to me seeing that it wasn’t too long ago that I could put back nearly a gallon of milk a day. If […]
How to Make The BEST Gluten-Free Turkey Gravy
posted on November 9, 2011 by
What is Thanksgiving without the gravy? Just an ordinary meal in my opinion. I could honestly go without most of the Thanksgiving feast, as long as I have gluten-free sage dressing drowning in gluten-free turkey gravy. And maybe some canned cranberry sauce. Admit it, cranberry sauce is just not nearly as interesting when its not […]

How to Make Dairy/Casein-Free, Soy-Free and Corn-Free Butter
posted on October 13, 2011 by
A couple weeks ago I struck gold when I found a recipe for homemade vegan butter on veganbaking.net. The recipe’s creator, Mattie, is brilliance personified. So brilliant in fact, I think he deserves a Nobel prize (make that a moobel prize). 😀 In typical fashion, I had my unsuspecting taste testers try the butter (without […]
Green Goddess Salad Dressing (Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Corn-Free, Nut-Free and Soy-Free)
posted on September 2, 2011 by
Do you remember Green Goddess Salad Dressing? I sure do, I used to love that bottled green stuff from Seven Seas when I was a kid. My mom used to make a delicious taco salad with it and I even used it to top my baked potato in lieu of sour cream. And it’s a […]
Ranch Dressing (Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Corn-Free, Nut-Free and Soy-Free)
posted on August 29, 2011 by
Ranch Dressing Take 2. Last January I shared my first attempt at a dairy-free, corn-free, egg-free and soy-free Ranch dressing and while it’s very good, there are two problems with the recipe. 1). It contains cashews so it’s no good for my friends out there with tree nut allergies. 2). It’s entirely too involved of […]
Thousand Island Dressing (Gluten-Free, Corn-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free, Nut-Free, Gum-Free and Refined Sugar-Free)
posted on August 23, 2011 by
Thousand Island dressing has always been one of my favorites, a full bodied, creamy dressing with just the right amount of sweetness and tang. The name presumably comes from the Thousand Islands, which lie between the United States and Canada, in the St. Lawrence river and there is some debate as to when and where […]
Creamy Greek Salad Dressing (dairy-free)
posted on June 19, 2011 by
I love Greek salads, the salt from the creamy Feta cheese and the Kalamata olives, balanced by the pungent aroma of oregano. Yum. My all time favorite Greek salad is the one offered at Pappadeaux, have you ever had their Greek Salad, the one with the shrimp? My oldest son Sam and I would always […]
Homemade BBQ Sauce (corn-free)

Photo Credit (I forgot to take a picture last week, but will update with my own photo soon) Growing up, I loved the summer time, and not for the reason you may be thinking (no school!). I loved the hot and humid Ohio summer months for the beautiful green grass and booming maple trees that […]
