I recently received a box of Go Veggie!’s entire vegan line of alterna-cheese products to test out (thank you Go Veggie!). This is a brand my local grocery carries, but they only have the Lactose free line (it has been my experience that unlike gluten intolerance, the average person has never heard of casein intolerance […]
It’s football Armageddon here in Mississippi today. The Bulldogs are taking on the Aggies and the Rebels are going head to head with Alabama. All four are undefeated. It’s TENSE. This means marathon game watching all day and requires appropriate game time sustenance. This is a bit harder now that cheese dip has been taken […]
It’s officially football season. No Southern party or gathering is complete without sausage balls. The original kind that pop up in every Southern household in the country involves Bisquick and good cheddar cheese, which makes them a no go for those of us with food allergies. I had already successfully made these gluten free in […]
One of my favorite easy soups is my spicy corn chowder. It’s creamy and sweet, with just a little bite. But, of course, it gets the creamy from dairy–cream cheese in particular. So it was definitely back to the drawing board for how to duplicate or adapt this to be dairy free and still retain […]
So in the whole wake of the no cheese drama, there was much flailing and wailing and gnashing of teeth. I grabbed The Uncheese Cookbook and kept trying stuff.

Okay, so that hiatus went on a whole lot longer than I’d originally planned. Short version: Life has been–crazy. 2013 was a very full, very stressful year and I really needed that time off from blogging. I’m still crazy busy, and I don’t know if I’ll be coming back even now, but I have […]
Okay warning, pity party ahead. Nothing about this post is going to be positive and there’s a pretty solid guarantee I’m going to whine, so feel free to leave while I vent my spleen at the Universe. On any given day, if you ever asked what food I could never, ever live without, the answer […]
It’s been a super crazy week. I spent most of the week tied up with data collection for the Evil Day Job. That meant working late most nights, and that cut into my writing time for the week. I still managed nearly 6.5k, despite the interruptions. Had some break throughs in some of the relationship dynamics, […]
