Allergen-free Cupcakes

Of course, as soon as you call something “allergen-free,” somebody is bound to inform you that they are allergic to one or more of the listed ingredients. “Gluten-free, Nut-free, Soy-free, Peanut-free, Dairy-free, Casein-free, Sesame-free, Sunflower-free, Apple-free Vegan Cupcakes” didn’t have the same ring to it, so I went with ‘Allergen-free Cupcakes’ instead.

Organic Apple Chips

My 18-month-old nephew Benji is my dream eater. He’s the kind of kid who Hoovers through his food and asks for more. He recently learned how to sign “more.” So when I say he asks for more, I mean that quite literally. The kid can’t get enough of signing “More!” My sister spends most of [...]

Meatless Monday: Whole Wheat Pasta With TVP

I came across Bob’s Red Mill Textured Vegetable Protein at the grocery store the other day while speed shopping with Beastly. I’m not that into processed foods, but it wasn’t like I was picking up a box of Kraft Mac & Cheese or anything. I always try to do several vegetarian meals throughout the week. [...]
