Breakfast Outside The Box

Barely took 10 minutes to make this: Added water and olive oil to Cherrybrook Kitchen Pancake Mix, melted Enjoy Life Foods Mini Chips in the microwave, and thawed some raspberry sorbet. Why? My daughter wanted to eat a donut that someone had given her for breakfast and we both wanted Eden to have something equally […]

Sandwich Night

Often, during the “Q and A” portion of book reading, I’m asked this question: “How do you eat as a family with your son’s allergies?” And my answer (which I describe in the final chapter of Feeding Eden) is that most of the time we don’t have the same food on our plates. Usually, our […]

Tomato Panzanella Salad

We made this salad (courtesy of gfreelife.com) last night. Leftovers would be perfect for anyone to eat on “Meatless Monday.” My children are crazy for croutons so learning to cook them is a useful skill for many recipes. And cherry tomatoes are sweet right now, as opposed to long awaited summer tomatoes. Since we don’t need […]

bacon and corn griddle cakes

I found these pancakes on www.recipegirl.com (just click on that link) and…wow. While they have a standard pancake base which includes egg and milk the photo alone has empowered me to believe that I can begin with our milk free base and go from there. From there recipe girl adds cayenne, corn, cheese, scallion and of course bacon. […]

NYC Rainbow Italian Ice

At some point during our unusually warm spring here in NYC an Italian Ice Vendor showed up in front of my children’s school. The maelstrom that followed was incredible but more incredible was the fact that my son Eden could take part in the clamor. Italian Ices are generally safe for him, since they are […]

Gluten-Free Bread

This is my gluten-free bread – the recipe is available here:http://saltyfemme.wordpress.com/2012/02/26/bread-and-baking-part-4-on-the-road-to-gluten-free/. This also includes a short essay about transforming my love of bread baking when I started eating gluten-free. I always loved to bake bread, and this is the standby recipe/formula that I now use. It tastes a little different every week because I always change up the flours – the trick […]

Stuffed Bell Peppers

These are stuffed bell peppers made without dairy, eggs, or nuts. You can even make them vegan. We love these in our family because you can add a variety of veggies, beans, rice, and/or meats, and they taste great baked inside a giant bellpepper. These are easy to accomodate any allergy since you can put whatever you want in them.
