In my quest to replace dairy in my life, I stumbled upon a dairy free chocolate peanut butter pudding made from bananas and avocados. The recipe was posted on Huffington Post so you would think that it would taste pretty good. I gave it a shot! First buy ripe avocados. You will need 1 1/2 (but…

Dairy-free Ice Cream Cake
Having restrictions in your diet doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy what you eat. You just need to find ways to work around it. It allows you to try new things and expand your food choices. My sister just recently stopped having dairy. I guess that is a good thing because dairy isn’t really that…
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…
Shaved Zucchini Salad
Salads can be a very boring or interesting. When people think of salads, they think of leafy greens or even something like pasta salads. I came across this salad idea from a friend. She used a grater to create zucchini pasta. I thought it was neat and remembered that there was salad that was created…
Chocolate Wacky Cake Cobbler – (Egg-free, Dairy-free, no white sugar, Gluten-free version too!)

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…
Homemade Granola
Making homemade granola is a lot easier than you think. Its so easy that you will never buy granola in stores. I also love how versatile it can be. A basic granola recipe starts off with vegetable oil, honey, maple syrup and oats. I used roughly 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/4 cup honey and 1/4…
How to Make Homemade Yogurt!
Making yogurt sounds like a big ordeal but its very easy to do! Yogurt has beneficial bacteria that helps create the nice tart flavour. I’ve only tried making yogurt a couple of times and I’m still experimenting on the time of maturation and type of milk. So far both my batches resulted in runny yogurt….
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…
Beef Barley Soup in a Slow Cooker!
Having just discovered that my rice cooker was also a slow cooker, I decided to experiment. My favourite soup is beef barley but it does take a lot of time if it is made from scratch. The meat needs to be boiled down to make it tender and the barley needs to cook till its…
