The one without cheese
It was a sad day when my doctor informed me I could no longer partake in the eating of dairy foods. It was hard enough eliminating gluten from my diet a couple years ago, but now dairy too?! One, two punch! A good portion of …

Pizza on point!
When one cannot enjoy dairy or gluten, one would think one would not be able to indulge in pizza. However, I stand to correct that false supposition. Gluten-free crusts and dairy-free cheeses have made the beloved pizza universally available to all, even to those with …
Butternut squash chili
It’s officially autumn, and even though the temperature outside has still been reaching the 80s, September has a funny way of prompting every food and beverage company in the Northern Hemisphere to release their “everything-pumpkin” lines come the first of the month. Pumpkin-spice lattes, pumpkin …
Meatless Monday: Meatballs!
Meatballs without meat? Yeah, it’s a thing. And they’re a delicious alternative to your average Italian meat delicacy. Even though they don’t contain a lick of animal protein, they sound so much more appetizing with the adornment of “veggie meatballs,” as opposed to “veggie balls.” …

Winner, winner leftover chicken dinner!
Chicken is a blank canvas, just plain and simple and in desperate need of some TLC. You can be boring and boil the life out of your chicken until it is as tough as shoe leather, or you can season the meat and cook it …
Creamy mac
I think it’s time I finally posted about my mac and cheese recipe. It’s a staple in my house – I’d say I make it a least once a week, maybe every other week. It’s that darn delicious! And it’s also completely plant-based, so it’s …
