Have I mentioned that I love soup!? I love it so much that I often make these 2 soups at the same time! Zuppa Toscana Most of the time, my family eats dairy-free because I'm allergic to dairy. It's hard to taste-test a recipe with a lot of cream in it, for example, when you're allergic to anything made from cow's milk. A tiny taste won't kill me, but if I eat much, I get miserable. Sometime last year, after my husband ordered Zuppa Toscana at Olive Garden and raved about it, I ... continue reading...
Dairy-Free Potato Corn Chowder Soup
Winter, spring, summer or fall … I LOVE soup. I can eat it when it’s 10 or 100 degrees outside. However, when a cold snap hits for several days, like it has lately, I enjoy it even more. Tonight, I dusted off my old potato corn chowder recipe, made a few tweaks and … YUM! It sure hit the spot on this cold Sunday night. One of the best features of this recipe (at least for me) is that it’s dairy-free. If you skip the bacon garnish and use vegetable broth, then it’s also VEGAN. If you use ... continue reading...
Cherry Pie Cookie Recipe
I was flipping through an issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine that started showing up in my mailbox unexpectedly a few months ago, and I saw an ad from Lucky Leaf, with a recipe for cherry pie cookies. I thought I was an avid cherry pie lover … and then I met my husband. If there were a fan club for all things cherry – cherry cheesecake, cherry pie, cherry cobbler, cherry turnovers – he should be their poster boy. So when I saw the recipe, I ripped it out and decided to surprise him by ... continue reading...
Zucchini Tots
These zucchini tots are among my all-time favorite snack food ... and they're healthy! :) You can use a dairy-free "cheese" and dairy-free bread crumbs to make these non-dairy. You can also easily make them gluten-free by using gluten-free bread crumbs! For the Love of Zucchini I LOVE zucchini, so when I saw a zucchini tots recipe (and then another) show up in my facebook feed several months ago, I knew I had to give zucchini tots a try. As usual, I look at recipes as suggestions ... so I ... continue reading...
Swiss Chicken Casserole (Dairy-Free)
I love creamy, cheesy casserole dishes ... but I had to give them up 20 years ago when I developed an allergy to cow's milk (I'm not lactose-intolerant, but allergic). UNTIL I found dairy-free "cheese" products, almond and coconut milk products and experimented with substituting them in recipes. I adapted this recipe from a Swiss Chicken Crepes recipe I found in the December 2012 issue of Southern Living. It calls for 3 cups of half-and half and plenty of Swiss cheese, plus wrapping the ... continue reading...
