Strawberry Pie Recipe (Gluten Free, Vegan) – National Pi Day / My First Pie
I don’t normally post twice in a day but it is National Pi Day so hopefully it’s excused. I’ve never cooked a pie from scratch before, let alone a gluten free, vegan one. My girlfriend though just finished reading “Making Piece” by Beth Howard. The book is about a woman who suddenly loses her husband. […]
Gluten Free Pizza Crust Recipe
I’d intended to post this up just before the Superbowl but better late than never. This recipe is adapted from Cooking for Isaiah by Silvana Nardone, a great Gluten Free and Dairy Free cook book. After a couple of modifications, this flour mix browns decently and gets a nice hearty flavor. We also seasoned the […]
Balaji Wafers, Magic Masala Flavor Review (Gluten Free, Vegan Snack)
These Balaji “wafers” were picked up at Patel Brothers in Jackson Heights for $1.49. The wafers are actually potato chips (I wasn’t aware the words are used interchangeably). The flavor, masala munch is delicious. The ingredients contain no gluten and have a splendid balance of sweet and sour owed largely to the sugar, chilly powder […]

Vegan Gluten Free Gravy and Mashed Potatoes Recipe
I was skeptical but vegan gravy can be just as good as the traditional meat based. Using these recipes from Savvy Vegetarian and Food.com we made a hybrid to create a gravy with a rich, thick flavor perfect for mashed potatoes, meatloaf, lentil loaf etc. Additionally for my birthday we had collard greens, GF corn […]
Gluten Free Vegan Funfetti Cake with Frosting (Hodgson Mill)
For my birthday I wanted funfetti cake. Already a fan of Hodgson Mills cornbread, we decided to give the gluten free yellow cake mix a try. The instructions entail throwing everything into a bowl, mixing and baking. Nice and simple. As always, the only changes made were substituting almond milk in place of dairy, flax […]

In the mood for Gluten Free chewy chocolate chip cookies, we came across this recipe from Food Network’s Alton Brown. The recipe was great and satisfied the cookie craving. To make it vegan, almond milk was substituted over dairy milk and flax meal (3 T water to 1 T egg=1 egg) was used instead of […]
Utz “The Crab Chip” with Chesapeake Bay Seasoning (Gluten Free, Vegetarian)
Utz Crab Chips despite the name do not contain crab but rather the seasoning associated with crab cakes and shrimp. Utz refers to it as Chesapeake Bay seasoning but many know it as “Old Bay.” This type of seasoning is beloved in and around the East and Gulf Coasts. The primary seasonings in the mix […]
Mary’s Gone Crackers Sticks & Twigs Curry Flavor Review(Gluten Free)
This idea sounded great in theory. Curry flavor pretzels break new ground. Mary’s Gone Crackers Sticks & Twigs though were disappointing. The pretzels are hollow in the middle. They have a slight yellowish tint because of the turmeric in the curry powder. The crunch is pronounced but there is just too much going on with […]
Mi-Del Gluten Free Arrowroot Cookies Review (Animal Crackers!)
The Mi-Del Arrowroot gluten free cookies would certainly fool most into thinking they’re regular flour. In fact, their tagline is “Gluten Free Cookies That Taste Like Cookies.” The flours included are corn, soy, potato rice and of course arrowroot. They taste crunchy and give off a whiff of vanilla. They’re like a fresher version of […]
