I recently had a wonderful soup at Long’s Provencal Restaurant in downtown Seattle. It was so good, I knew I had to try to replicate it at home. I tried doing a search for it online, but no luck…so, I came up with my own recipe and it tastes pretty darn close to the one…

PA Dutch Potpie
Pennsylvania Dutch Potpie differs from the pot pies you buy in the frozen food section and bake in the oven (or microwave). PA Dutch potpie (yes, this is the way we spell it in PA) is more of a stew with home-made noodle squares. Usually it’s made with chicken, but just about any meat works….

Daiya Non-Dairy Cream Cheese
I just discovered that Daiya has a cream cheese! Tonight, while shopping at Whole Foods, I saw it next to the regular cream cheese. I bought the chive and onion flavor and I’m currently having a late night snack of a bagel with the faux cream cheese. Yum! If you have been missing cream cheese,…
Gluten-Free Persimmon Cake
One of the local bakers makes a really delicious, moist persimmon pudding cake every fall when persimmons are in season. I saw some nice ones at Top Banana (a local produce stand) and bought some to make a gluten-free version. Cake Ingredients: 2 cups chopped walnuts 1 cup butter substitute (like Earth Balance), melted 2…
Gluten-Free Chanterelle Stuffing
I picked up a pound of Chanterelle mushrooms yesterday, since they are abundant and cheap right now. I was making a chicken for dinner, so I did a search for chanterelle stuffing. I needed it to be gluten-free, so I knew I’d have to modify the recipe I found. Luckily, last night I made gluten-free…
Coconut Millet with Strawberries
I had never cooked or eaten millet. I’m also not a big breakfast person, so I always have difficulty getting enough morning calories since I can’t eat eggs and I HATE regular cereal with milk substitutes (I was never big on cold cereals to begin with). I also need to ensure I get enough protein…
Vegan Scrambled Eggs
I haven’t been feeling the best lately and I believe it’s been because of being lax with my food. I have been disregarding my egg allergy and eat dairy & beef on occasion when I really have a craving. So, it’s time to get back on track. Or, at least the best I can considering…
Roasted Chicken & Zucchini
I had thawed chicken thighs and legs and I had a ton of zucchini. The challenge was to figure out a recipe that used both (and wasn’t boring). After scouring the web, I found a couple of recipes, but didn’t like bits of either. I wasn’t too sure about rosemary and mustard together in a…
Amy’s Kitchen Vegan Margherita Pizza
Finally…a pizza that cures my craving and tastes like a real cheese pizza! Having a dairy allergy really sucks when it comes to cheese. I adore cheese and this is the one thing I really miss. Recently, I found a vegan pizza from Amy’s Kitchen that uses the Daiya cheese (see my previous review). I…
