Almost completely allergen free - a few exceptions




I bought a box of the Bisquick Gluten Free mix - way too expensive for how little you get and how easy it would be to make, however I wanted something simple. Next time, I will just make my own mix, though.

Anyway! This morning, the veggiebaby and I decided to make chocolate chip pancakes. And they were dairy free, gluten free AND soy free! Yum!

We followed the recipe on the Bisquick box - 1 cup of the mix, 1 cup of milk (we used almond - yum!), 2 tbsp of vegetable oil (we used coconut oil), and 1 egg (milled flax seed - 1 tbsp milled flax seed + 3 tbsp water)

Once we were done, we slathered it in Earth Balance Soy Free Buttery Spread. However, since we used the coconut oil, it really didn't need the Earth Balance. Next time, I will just not even use the butter. The coconut oil made it really delicious and moist. Coconut oil is so good.

Enjoy the incredibly sloppy camera phone picture. See how healthy I am? Slathered in powdered sugar!

I gotta stop disappearing!

So, yet again, it has been an incredibly long time... about 6 months. Yikes!

Unfortunately, I don't have many foodsy updates this time around. Daphne and I have been so incredibly busy - I just finished up my sophomore year of college, started a full-time job, working another part-time job and we just moved into a new house. Busy, busy ladies!

I'm hoping that I will be able to post more often, now that I am not so unbearably overwhelmed by school and that I have a much better kitchen for cooking in! My most recent creation has been a vegan version of Lamar's donuts - they were so delicious, they tasted exactly like the real thing (umm, yummy! Fried, chocolate covered sugar bread!)

We've started to incorporate more gluten-free food into our diets - and I've noticed a definite change in how I feel. So, expect some vegan AND gluten-free recipes to pop up every now and then :]
