Allergy Free Gnocchi
I’ve been getting requests for Allergy-Free Gnocchi for years.It’s about time I delivered, don’t you think?
And what a pleasure it was. I had a blast creating this recipe for gluten-free, vegan gnocchi, and was paid off for my efforts when my son Monte remarked, “These taste exactly like regular gnocchi, except better!” (more…)
Pumpkin Sunbutter Soup
While it may be in the 90s here in Los Angeles, I’m still rocking the fall spirit. And seasonal spirit is expressed nowhere better than in the food we eat. It’s pumpkin season, alright! I’ve got four large gourds sitting on my front stoop, and a variety of smaller pumpkins all around the house. I’m also thinking about all the lovely things we can make with pumpkin. (for example, that nice looking Pumpkin Pie Smoothie from last week’s Allergy-Friendly Friday roundup!)
The following recipe is a hearty allergy-friendly gluten-free take on pumpkin soup. I’ve added sunflower seed butter for extra protein, making it more of a complete meal than just the starter that soup usually gets billed as. The cool coconut milk yogurt is the perfect finish to this lovely rich orange soup, and chives or green onions seal the deal. (more…)
Allergy Free Meatballs
I like little meatballs. Not the big huge ones. The cute small ones cook more quickly, and are the perfect little mouthful.
So when a reader requested Gluten-Free, Allergy-Free Meatballs or Meatloaf, there was no question as to which I’d choose. I knew I’d be going for the diminutive meatballs. There wasn’t even really a question of how to make them allergen-free. I often use cornflakes in place of wheat bread crumbs in chopped meat recipes, as it binds, without being boggy. And Ener-G egg replacer does a fantastic job of replacing the traditional egg.* If you can’t eat corn, substitute brown rice bread crumbs instead. And don’t worry; you won’t miss the lack of Parmesan cheese in this one tiny bit. (more…)
