German pancakes are a childhood favorite of mine. They are sometimes called Bismarcks. It is so simple to make and delicious with all kinds of toppings or just by themselves. Growing up with my siblings, our favorite thing to do was watch these puff up as big as the mountains we live next to. Then…
Tomato Butter Chicken
Tomato Butter Chicken has become one of my family’s favorites over the years. Butter and tomatoes combine into one of the best flavors ever. The fat from the butter mellows the acid from the tomatoes considerably to create an almost creamy texture. The sauce is easily the best part of this dish, and I’ve considered…
Summertime Favorites – Taco Salad
This is one of our summer time favorites! Salad is almost a necessity during the summer to keep the heat down in the kitchen. We eat this taco salad weekly when it’s hot enough and occasionally throughout the colder months as well. The kids love it despite it being one the most healthy things I…
Break Out of the Cereal Rut – Muesli
Cereal seems to be our go-to now that my husband is allergic to eggs. The kids and I still eat eggs when he’s not around, but I think it’s pretty rude to eat something someone is allergic to in front of them. In this case, especially because my husband loved eggs. So, cereal ends up…
Make Your Own Hamburger Patties
Once, I was watching one of those random mid-morning talk shows that had a bunch of chefs/cooks on it. They were debating the feasibility of using a new product that helped you shape your own hamburger patties. Then they started testing it out. I can’t remember how it turned out, but I just kept wondering…
Top 8 Free Potato Salad
This is my mom’s potato salad that I grew up eating, and I love it. In preparation for Memorial Day, I want to share it with everyone. First, it’s not sweet! That stuff you find at the store that’s full of sugar makes me gag. That’s why my mom’s potato salad is the best, and…
Three Things I Didn’t Know About Allergies Before Diagnosis
I learned a lot about allergies when my husband was first diagnosed. I don’t remember what I googled first. Maybe it was about EOE, or maybe it was when to use an EpiPen. Eventually, I found the Food Allergy Research and Education (FARE) website, which lead me to the Utah Food Allergy Network (UFAN). I…
Grape and Broccoli Salad
Grape and Broccoli Salad is kind of like a coleslaw, at least as far as the dressing and the cruciferous broccoli are concerned. The rest of this dish is what make it so SOO good. I first tasted a salad like this at the Brazilian restaurant, Tucanos, and I completely fell in love. Have you…
Pan-Fried Asparagus
Pan-Fried Asparagus is one of my favorite sides to make. It’s simple and delicious and naturally allergy friendly. The spices add a lot of flavor while bringing out the distinct flavor of the asparagus. I love to make this in the spring when I know asparagus is in season and most likely to have the…
Awesome Pasta
I say famous because my best friend and neighbor will eat this stuff anytime, anywhere, no matter what. She can smell it and knows that it’s my Awesome Pasta. My kids also love this stuff. When they see me making it, they get so excited for dinner. Awesome Pasta came into existence because I was…
