Quick Stovetop Chicken Curry

chicken curryMost 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 »

Non-Dairy Crockpot Rice Pudding

rice puddingMy 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 »

Pure Decadence Coconut Milk Ice Cream

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 »

Dairy-free? Native Forest and Aroy-D are the Best Coconut Milks for Desserts

Coconut Milk

If you’re avoiding dairy it’s not too hard to find a substitute since there are so many fine choices out there — various nut milks, soy milks, as well as rice milks. Most people gravitate toward nut milks and soy milks when they need to substitute for whole milk or cream in a recipe. But what do you do if you’re avoiding soy? The thickest of the milk substitutes, soy is a handy go to for the dairy-free baker. It’s the staple product in nearly all non-dairy frozen goodies. Let’s face it, no soy means no Tofutti Cuties! …read the rest of this entry »
