Recipes from the Go Dairy Free kitchen
Elsewhere Note: I interviewed Alison St. Sure of Sure Foods Living on the topic of a Gluten-Free Thanksgiving. She offers great tips and a couple of family-tested recipes that are at their feast every year. You can see the post here: Making Gluten Free Holidays Merry. After discovering that many of my online friends didn’t have a single acorn squash recipe posted, I went a little nuts with trialing out different recipe ideas to inspire them … and this one was […]
I’ve got a recipe featured on Attune Foods this week. Head over and check it out: Crispy Curry Potato & Carrot Croquettes – You are going to love this combination. The carrots add a light sweetness, the curry gives it a warm and earthy flavor, and who doesn’t love the crisp coating you get from a light pan-fry? Plus, this is a “normal” recipe that just happens to be vegan/vegetarian, free of the top eight allergens, optionally gluten-free, and sugar-free! […]
I’m attempting to pack right now for a trip with some wonderful friends. Do you ever look at your closet and absolutely hate everything you own? I realize it will be a casual trip, one without expectations, without judgement, and certainly without having to look trendy. It’s already been clearly stated that hoodies are welcome (Amen!). Still, nothing looks comfortable, nothing matches, and the last thing I want to have to pack for a three-day trip is five pairs of […]
Lately, I’m in love with pan-fried potatoes, and keep experimenting with different seasonings. One of the top spice contenders has easily been cajun. At a recent conference I received a free container of cajun seasoning by Butterball. I admit, the taste is quite good. Okay, really good in recipes. It is spicy, but not too hot, and rich with flavor. But, on the con side it contains what seem like “unnecessary ingredients” such as silicon dioxide (anti-caking), cornstarch, and natural flavors. I’m […]
Quick note: If you haven’t seen the Cooking Challenges Recipe Contest yet, go check it out! Three people will win $200 in groceries and more! I received some sad news at Attune Foods last month. Their chocolate probiotic granola is being discontinued. Since it has a loyal following, they requested that I come up with a chocolate granola recipe to help ease the blow. You can imagine how that elaborate conversation went … something like: Attune: “Next month, could you make a […]
Quick Note: this giveaway is open until Oct 5th now since I messed up the date. Enter to win Cooking with Crispbread gift pack! When it comes to online presence, I’m certainly not hard to find, but I rarely offer many personal tidbits. A little mystery is good, right? But since today is my birthday, I thought I would share just a little more about myself … and a recipe, of course .. I’ve never had a cup of coffee […]
After posting up this egg-free, dairy-free meatball recipe, the folks at WASA offered up a prize package for a giveaway, and who was I to say no? One of you will receive this fun loot: The Cooking with Crispbread full-color, hardback cookbook A cool WASA bag Three boxes of WASA Crispbread, assorted flavors To Enter: Simply comment on this post, and let me know if you have ever had crispbread and if so, your favorite way to eat it!

Just in case you didn’t see it on Go Dairy Free, I have a guest post today over at Attune Foods, and I’d love for you to check it out and offer feedback (on that post please! I’ve closed the comments here). Yes, there is a yummy, 6-ingredient recipe for granola bars over there that was created in my little kitchen … but … I’d also love for you to read the article / intro I wrote also. You see, […]
Quick Note: Congrast to Casi Leigh! Winner of the Rudi’s Giveaway this week. Another giveaway coming up soon! Since I have so many wonderful gluten-free friends, I frequently hear the sorrow of croutons arriving on a prepared salad when dining out. But what many may not realize, is that strict dairy-free people must also be on guard when it comes to croutons. Most are made with butter, margarine of unknown origin, and/or parmesan cheese. Not to mention whey powder, lactose, and other […]
One of the joys of blogging is making friends with amazing people, and even meeting a few (in person!) whose work you’ve admired over the internet for what seems like ages. For me, one of those people was Amy Green. I got to chat with this sweet lady nearly a year ago (my how time flies!) and meet her face to face at the GFAF Expo earlier this year. Now that I know her personally, it is that much more fun to use […]
I received a few interesting packages recently that begged to be made into a meal. The first included several boxes of Wasa Crispbread along with a Crispbread cookbook! How cool is that? That shipment was followed by several jars of Barilla pasta sauce and two boxes of Barilla Piccolini pasta. Can we say Italian night? After thumbing through the cookbook, I honed in on the Crispbread Meatballs recipe. I loved that it didn’t use eggs or cheese, and could even […]
Today’s feature recipe is fresh, crisp, amazing corn on the cob … You may be thinking, “That’s it? Alisa, it looks like two plain ears of corn on the cob.” And … you would be right. But hear me out. Sometimes, the most amazing food is also the simplest food. Many people boil corn. I used to steam it. My husband would grill it. But now that we’ve discovered how insanely easy roasting corn is, there is no turning back. […]
On Go Dairy Free today, I have a review up of the gorgeous cookbook Simply … Gluten Free Desserts by my friend Carol Kicinski. This woman is amazing. As you probably know, I’m not gluten-free, but do dabble in the art. Many gluten-free goodies are, well how do I put this politely, on par with cardboard. However, some rise above as either tasty in their own right, with a unique texture and flavor, and some actually push gluten-free boundaries, rivaling gluten-filled […]
