PF Chang’s Style Lettuce Wraps There are a lot of recipes for PF Chang’s style lettuce wraps floating around the internet, but this one is gluten-free and casein-free. Plus we make our own hoisin sauce. Most of the recipes I found require hoisin sauce, which is not going to be gluten-free. So I looked through a few homemade recipes for hoisin and came up with...
Make homemade gluten-free chicken skewers with homemade teriyaki sauce (GF soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, pineapple juice, brown sugar and garlic powder). Gluten-Free Teriyaki Chicken Skewers One of the big things and reason for this blog is that we take classic comfort foods and make them gluten-free. It’s easy with a recipe like this to make sure that it is also naturally dairy-free, too. I...
Gluten-Free pasta Primavera is perfect for Meatless Monday with it’s roasted veggies, complete protein in the quinoa pasta, and decadence with the Parmesan cheese. We really try to make sure we eat meatless on Mondays and cut back on how much meat we eat in general. I love the Meatless Monday campaign. If you haven’t checked it out yet, you really should. Better for...
King Ranch Chicken Casserole This recipe from 2016 (our dairy-free phase) has been updated and I’ve added new pictures. If you can handle goat milk you could easily swap out the vegan cheese for a goat milk pepper jack cheese and/ or use goat butter instead of ghee. And although I haven’t tried it in this particular recipe, you could also replace the sour cream...
Homemade Greek Moussaka Recipe Greek moussaka was not something I ever thought to make at home. Until I went to the Austin Food Blogger Alliance Christmas party hosted by MezzeMe Turkish Kitchen. One of the seasonal dishes they offered us was an individual Greek moussaka. But I couldn’t try it because it is made with a béchamel sauce using flour that isn’t gluten-free. Plus the...
A traditional wedge salad made with goat milk blue cheese and a dressing made of goat milk yogurt, GF Worcestershire (Lea & Perrins), lemon, garlic olive oil, and hot sauce. So a few week’s ago we discovered the abundance of goat cheeses at Central Market here in Austin. And of course that opened the door to so many re-inventions of old comfort food favorites. Add...
This is an easy copy cat recipe for the smoked cabbage slaw they used to serve at Freedmen’s Bar and Smokehouse. It is gluten-free and dairy-free, too! Freedmen’s Bar and Smokehouse I’m so sad that Freedmen’s on campus closed down. I really loved their BBQ and sides and we used to go often and sit on the patio. I actually used to live down...

Goat Cheese! I am so happy to still love being able to eat goat cheese! I’ve been making so many old favorite comfort foods since we figured out goat milk was okay...
Thank you, Schär Having to eat gluten-free (and dairy-free for awhile) usually meant bypassing some of the most delicious treats. And sometimes you just really miss those old comfort food classics. Lately, we have been trying a bunch of Schär gluten-free products and are just blown away. We found this puff pastry dough at Central Market. They also have the best table crackers and artisan...
Chocolate Sweet Potato Brownies I love brownies! I don’t have a sweet tooth but I do love a chewy gooey brownie. And why not healthify them and make chocolate sweet potato brownies. Like we healthified the chocolate zucchini muffins and oat flour carrot cake muffins. These chocolate sweet potato brownies are delicious, nutritious and allergy friendly. I’ve made them allergy friendly by making them eggless,...
