I started brewing my own Kombucha in Jan 2013. At that time I was still consuming white sugar. In 2014, I decided to slowly remove white sugar from my diet. It has been tough and challenging, but I am lucky that I can still have other forms of sweeteners. During this transition I decided that…

Vegan Pumpkin Cupcakes!
Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year. I love dressing up and eating pumpkin pie. This year however I am trying something new out. Pumpkin cupcakes with vegan cream cheese icing. I hope they turn out because anything vegan scares me! I think the hardest thing with this recipe is trying to…
Eggless Chickpea Quiche
Oh how I miss eggs. The creamy taste. I miss breakfasts, scrambled eggs, poached eggs, eggs Benedict, omelets and quiches. I have been looking for some egg substitutes that could possibly help with my cravings. I came across this recipe that is made with chickpeas and is supposed to have the texture of eggs. Well…
Non-Dairy Creamer
Going dairy free can be hard. Especially when you love the rich creamy taste of milk in your coffee. I have been looking for an alternative for quite a while. The soy creamers that are available are usually full of sugar (which as you know I cannot have). I tried hemp milk, almond milk, cashew…
Creamy Red Pepper Pasta
I recently went to a naturopath to determine my crazy allergic reactions. During the past 3-4 years, I’ve noticed that I would get really upset stomachs from eating anything from the onion family. In the past year, I’ve woken up numerous times with swollen eyes and face. I suspected multiple things from shampoo, vitamin pills,…
Homemade Condiments: White Sugar-Free Ketchup and Vegan Egg-Free Mayo
I have been avoiding sugar for quite a while now and the one thing that I really miss when I go out to eat is ketchup. Ketchup and fries, ketchup and burgers. Yum. I finally decided to make my own white sugar free ketchup. It was super easy and I loved it. It was just…
Chocolate Wacky Cake Cobbler – (Egg-free, Dairy-free, no white sugar, Gluten-free version too!)
The problem when you are trying to eliminate foods from your diet is that you have to start modifying recipes. I now do not eat eggs or refined sugar. This means that I have to change the way I bake. I have always wanted to try wacky (crazy) cake because it sounds horrible. It doesn’t…
What the Yucca!
Yucca, tapioca, cassava, the root with many names. As I went through my eczema elimination diet I had to avoid most bread and potato. I looked for alternatives and found the good old yucca root. I have always wondered what that weird root was. It kind of scared me. That’s when I found out that…
The Eczema Diet Part #3: Coconut Yogurt
I recently started seeing a naturopath for my eczema. I had an IgG test to see what my foods sensitivities. Most of them were the typical ones; nuts, egg, most grains including rice, dairy and citrus fruit but I had weird results like yeast, and green beans. I wasn’t allergic to gluten! woohoo! I had…
Eczema Diet Part 4… Chickpea Cookies
It has been a while since I started the eczema. I do have to say it is pretty tough especially when food is so good. I still have to learn to say no! Lately I have been craving sweets. I have a major sweet tooth and thought that it had something to do with Candida…
