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 […]
Is there life after cheese?
Gluten Free Dairy Free Corn Dog Bites
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 […]
Gluten Free, Dairy Free Sausage Balls
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 […]
Dairy Free Corn Chowder
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 […]
Review of Daiya Cheese Substitute
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. There was a recipe in there for a faux buffalo mozzarella that the author swore would melt. It totally didn’t and the pizza I tried to make […]
Dairy Free Lemon (Not) Yogurt Cake with Freezer Fruit Compote
One of my favorite desserts that I’ve featured on the blog here before was my gluten free Lemon Yogurt Cake with Freezer Fruit Compote. It’s like a pound cake but lighter, with a lovely bright lemon flavor that just hits the spot for spring. Since I had 3/4ths of a package of silken tofu left […]
Is There Life After Cheese?
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 […]
Is There Life After Cheese? The Answer Is No
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 […]
Sunday Summary and #ROW80 Update
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, […]
