Amazing snack smoothie

It’s raining and I’m showing a cold smoothie.   Hmmm…   Sometimes you just crave them.  Actually that’s not true with me.  I always think they look good when others make them, but I never think to make them on my own.  Whenever I’m searching for some sort of afternoon pick-me-up snack, I forget about smoothies. But lately I’ve been at a loss when it comes to allergy friendly snacks.  Hence the smoothie.  Without nuts, sesame, soy, and wheat I feel…constricted.  I used to grab bars or trail mix when I needed something on the go;… Read more >

Allergy friendly chocolate cake

This past weekend’s mission was to test run a chocolate cake for P’s first birthday.   Mission: accomplished.  🙂 Like, SO accomplished.  I was beside myself with pride when it turned out.  Now I can serve a cake for everyone to enjoy that will make my son feel normal!!!  Hooray!   It is chocolaty and rich and tastes indulgent, despite having no added sugar.  It’s also free of grains.  And nuts, seeds, soy, wheat, and dairy.  And it actually tastes good.  Scratch that.  It tastes great.    Grain free, allergy-friendly chocolate cake [wheat/gluten free, grain… Read more >

Adding meat back

Tofu lover that I am, it was hard to stop eating it.  But – plain and simple – it wasn’t a choice. My son is my #1 priority. So if he cannot tolerate soy, and he has eczema when I eat it (through my breast milk), then the choice is clear.  I stop eating soy. And gluten.  And nuts.  And seeds.  [Cow dairy was already out of my diet, but goat dairy is now too.]* So what does that leave a (vegetarian) to eat??  Fruits and vegetables of course.  And non-wheat grains.  And legumes.  And…[crickets]….

Ten Reviews

Here are some products I’ve tried lately (or over the last few months…). Some were bad, some were okay, some were good, and some were awesome. So I figured I’d share. I have no affiliation with any of these brands. These are simply my honest opinions. 1. Nama-Age deep fried tofu.  I thought deep fried anything would be good, but this didn’t have any flavor.  Bland.  Lame. I wouldn’t buy again. 2. Puro Coffee.  It’s organic and fairtrade and I have liked all the blends I’ve tried (and I’m picky about my java!).  I think… Read more >

My highlights: week 5

This week went by bleepin’ FAST.  [Side note: I have to get my swearing in check now that P understands everything I’m saying!!  Words are now real things with meaning.  Talk about a reality check.] Last weekend was a snooze with that lame Super Bowl, although I did grab brunch at Cafe Bernardo with a former co-worker.   I brought P (with his eggs and such in a tupperware) and he was the perfect gentleman – minimal puffs and banana bits made their way to the floor (although I always clean that stuff up at… Read more >
