If you are frantically getting ready for the holidays and in need of a good alternative to the egg nog in the stores, here’s a terrific dairy free recipe that is quick and easy.
We hadn’t had egg nog for years until last Christmas when we decided to have a battle of the egg nog contest at our house: Joy of Cooking vs. the Internet. We mixed up a batch of the Joy of Cooking Cooked recipe. My mom chose an internet recipe that was less rich and less sweet. The Joy of Cooking recipe was sweeter and richer – much richer.
Our dairy free modification to the Joy recipe was to replace all of the milk and cream with coconut milk. Of the total quantity, we used half light coconut milk and half full fat. …read the rest of this entry »

Most curry recipes include many steps and a laundry list of ingredients. It is hard enough to get food on the table for our busy family these days, with two in sports this spring. After serving this dish quite a few times and always getting a good response I decided to add it to the favorites list.
This is an easy curry recipe that takes about 5 minutes to prepare and about 30 minutes to cook.
Great for a busy evening, it has become a family favorite around here. We like to eat it once or twice a month, sometimes more, and often change it up a bit for variety. You can add garlic, ginger, just about anything you’d like. The following is the way we like it best. This dish is gluten free, corn free, dairy free, soy free, nut free, and Feingold friendly. …read the rest of this entry »

We recently tried out Cherrybrook Kitchen’s Gluten-free Dreams Chocolate Cake Mix. We used a single box mix and it produced 12 standard-sized (2 3/4 inch diameter) cupcakes. The directions on the box were simple and the recipe requires no eggs. We opted to avoid the vanilla extract and go with orange oil instead because our corn-intolerant son reacts to commercially made vanilla extracts. Otherwise we followed the directions on the box. The cupcakes baked for 18 minutes.
We topped our cupcakes with a variation of Better Homes and Gardens’ popular fudge frosting recipe. I halved the original recipe, exchanged the butter for spectrum palm oil, and omitted the vanilla again. My version required more water and I utilized the microwave to get the right consistency.
Our family really enjoyed the cupcakes. The box mix from Cherrybrook Kitchen is a really delicious dark, bittersweet cake, and the frosting is a thick, fudge-like, very sweet but not sticky topping. I personally found the frosting to be a bit sweet for me but the boys unequivocally objected. They thought it was just perfect. We will definitely make this again. …read the rest of this entry »

My mother-in-law made my kids rice pudding while we were visiting them. She has a knack for making the perfect rice pudding. She diligently stands over the pot and makes sure it doesn’t stick or burn. She cooks it a long time too. At her house it was made with goat milk, but I just can’t savor the taste of goat milk pudding, so I often ate only a few bites. But the kids loved it.
On the day we left she armed me with four bags of pudding rice, the really small, fine beads of rounded pearl rice that make a nice thick pudding. So I got busy experimenting and came up with a recipe that is easy and tasty. …read the rest of this entry »

I’ve made this a few times now. It is pretty simple and sets up pretty fast so there is no need to make it the night before. I was originally trying to make a chocolate frosting using real melted chocolate chips and what resulted was a really tasty chocolate pudding. The kids loved it. Last week I used it as a filling in a double layered gluten-free chocolate cake I made using Cherrybrook Kitchen’s box mix. …read the rest of this entry »

About two months ago, while we were on holidays in Ireland, I took my 3 1/2 yr old with me to the grocery store. He got very excited when he saw a picture of jam cookies on a packaged box and was mad about getting them. I explained that they had wheat, and that we couldn’t get them. He just pointed his finger at me and said exuberantly, “But YOU could MAKE them!” …read the rest of this entry »

When I heard there was a new choice in frozen treats for those of us who don’t eat/drink dairy products, boy was I excited. After all, this is National Ice Cream Month. I already make my own coconut milk frozen yogurt, but to be able to purchase already made coconut milk ice cream is a terrific option, and it’s even made with an alternative sugar — agave nectar. Pure Decadence is not rich — a characteristic you’ll either find “light and refreshing” or you may wish it were richer and creamier.
Our family celebrated National Ice Cream day by running a mini taste test on the new line of Pure Decadence non-dairy coconut ice creams. We looked at four flavors over two days: Coconut, Cookie Dough, Vanilla, and Chocolate. If you haven’t yet tried this brand, you may want to, it is a good alternative to soy and rice creams. …read the rest of this entry »
