I don't usually present dinner recipes on this site. That isn't because I don't cook: on the contrary, we never really go out, so I cook pretty much every dinner (and prep every breakfast...and lunch). But I'm from an old-school Italian-Slovak family, and we never really used recipes for meals. Instead, I watched my mom (or grandma) work in the kitchen. Although we had written-out recipes, they didn't always include directions, and sometimes they didn't even include quantities! When talking with a family member about a regular on the dinner rotation, the discussion would go toward either "the ..read more

My first post in a very long while. I'm still not upbeat enough about food to write/journal, but I want to get this recipe out anyway. So, without commentary, here's the latest family "made from air" scone recipe!

1/3 cup potato starch
1-1/2 tsp psyllium (I use this instead of gums)
1-1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 ..read more

Two more months again.
As school has ended and spring has rolled into summer, I've been delighted to meet new people in person and online who are working through food allergies, EoE, or other immune-related nutrition issues. And I wish that I could be even more engaged than ever!
But. I'm officially deciding to take a break from the blog, at least for the summer.
I've put off the decision for awhile now, but a few things are quite apparent:
I need to spend more time in the kitchen than writing about being in the kitchen, at least until I have some solid recipes that keep ..read more

Oh my. It's been nearly 2 months since I've posted here, and just as long since I've felt capable of engaging else where in food world, too.
When I started this blog, it wasn't for emotional support or outreach; it was because I felt like we had enough of a grasp on vegan+meat allergy eating that we could collect and share our successes. Mostly I wanted a record of what we tried and what worked for my girls, and blogging was (and is) a convenient platform for that.
Now, though, we're starting over and I don't have successes in my pocket, or even logical places to start recipes yet. I d ..read more

One day, this veggie-packed sauce will end up in a Recipe Round-Up post. So far, I've turned it into soup, used it over noodles, and added beans and rice to it with extra taco seasoning. Find the original over at Le Coin de Mel: https://lecoindemel.com/vegan-pasta-sauce-hidden-veg-allergy-friendly/
After 15 years of marriage, I'm still not used to people who ask me if I'm Dutch...or people who are astounded (shocked! disbelieving!) when I say that I'm Italian. My heritage is something that shaped me enormously: I grew up in an Italian American community where every Friday was homemade pizz ..read more
