Black Bean Chipolte Burger

  For my Fantasy Friday, this is a Black Bean Chipolte Burger courtesy of goop. You can find the recipe here: http://assets.goop.com/161/black-bean-chipotle-burgers.pdf  It’s dairy, soy, and nut free. I love the addition of avocado on top and pumpkin seeds in the burger. Pumpkin seeds are a less common allergen than sesame seeds and safe in my […]

Don’t Stew Over Dinner

A few days ago I wrote a piece on Psychology Today about recent trends towards eating “clean” and nutritious and organic food — A wonderful sentiment! But sometimes parents can get overwhelmed and overburdened by that goal. Today I received my goop newsletter filled with “Healthy Recipes” which seem remarkably simple and doable. I have […]

Carrot Soup with Miso and Sesame from smitten kitchen

I grew up eating carrot sticks but raw carrots can make Eden’s throat itch (oral allergy.) This carrot soup is dairy, gluten and fat free (though miso-based so it is not soy free.) From www.smittenkitchen.com – I could work around the miso with chicken stock. Looks so warming for a January night.

I love the idea that this could be made safe for my whole family and give us a meal in-one-dish. The only […]

Roasting Chestnuts

I just posted this photo of roasted chestnuts in Fantasy Foods. As I wrote “Every December my family walks 5th Avenue to see the holiday windows in the stores. And every year I buy my daughter the roasted chestnuts and I buy Eden a giant pretzel. He has eaten a lot of pretzels.” Street food […]

Brownies

Last night’s dessert co-baked by kids using brownie mix (www.cherrybrookkitchen.com) which is Peanut, Nut, Dairy, and Egg free. kids added mini marshmallows and graham crackers.

Bacon

This was part of a dinner. Eden can eat bacon from home but in a restaurant he can only eat bacon if it’s baked on a clean tray, not fried in a pan or on a griddle. The risk of other-food-contamination is too high if it isn’t prepared the right way.

Pretzels

Street fairs can be fodder for disappointment if you have food allergies. But this pretzel stand was a mini-Mecca amidst the usual funnel cakes. Just wheat and water.
