Quinoa Summer Stir-Fry

Hooray for those wonderful summer vegetables that start showing up in supermarkets and farmers markets this time of year and in home gardens later in the summer!  Personally I eagerly await the arrival of squash, eggplant, green beans, and tomatoes every year, and I think this Quinoa and Summer Vegetable Stir-Fry from Gluten-Free Goddess looks like an easy way to turn them into a perfect Meatless Monday meal.  Read more >

Gluten-Free Isn't For Me

Bug and Stephanie

I used to think I was "lucky" that I had a child who, nearly three years in, hasn't exhibited any food allergies. I really felt for fellow new mothers who were painstakingly and scientifically cutting food groups out of their own diets as they struggled to figure out what in their breast milk was adversely affecting their babies. I quaked over the stories of Urgent Care visits and EpiPen deployment that were required to deal with surprise vomit attacks, hives, swelling and breathing issues. And while other mothers sought out allergen-free crackers and cookies, snacks and meals, I bought whatever I wanted. With all the stresses that motherhood brings, going blind reading the cramped and excruciatingly tiny-fonted list of ingredients in order to make sure I don't send my child into anaphylactic shock wasn't one of them. And I felt lucky.  Read more >

It can be totally customized to fit your family's favorite flavors and ingredients.

Carrot Coriander Soup

I have never tried coriander before I made this soup so I had no idea how it would taste, but I will have to admit that coriander is now my new favorite smell. When I crushed the spice, this citrus-y smell perfumed my kitchen that was so wonderful. I am definitely looking for more recipes with coriander in them to make in the future.  Read more >

Vegan "Mayonnaise"

[Editor's Note: Did you think that choosing to eat a vegan diet means giving up creamy homemade mayonnaise? Well, technically it does, but thanks to Stephanie Weaver of The Recipe Renovator, you can still make an equally creamy and tangy sandwich spread at home. Stephanie uses agar, a seaweed-based thickener, to work her magic in this recipe. --Genie]  Read more

Nutritious Crepes

[Editor's Note: Crepes are an easy building block to any meal of the day, but in their most traditional format, they are made with eggs and dairy. For those who can't tolerate one or both of those ingredients, who might be watching their cholesterol, or who choose to eat a vegan diet, this alternative is a great option. --Genie] Nutritious Crepes  Read more
