I have discovered the perfect gluten free, vegan pancake recipe. After much trial and error, this is it! These pancakes are thick, fluffy, do not stick to the pan, and are so so SO satisfying in a way that real buttermilk pancakes of the past used to satisfy. When I took my first bite, I [...]
Sandwiched in the most unlikely of places, between a car wash and an adult lingerie store, is Lingonberries, an entirely gluten free market! How nice is it, for people with allergies, to simply shop in a store without having to check for potentially harmful ingredients! They did the sorting for us. I originally made the [...]
There is a new place to get a quick detox in a cup! It’s called Sip, (their other location is in SE outside People’s CoOp) a juice cart on NE Alberta between 22nd and 23rd. I ordered the “Summer Breeze” juice with cucumber, cilantro, apple, lime, and substituted the pineapple for carrot! Service was sprightly [...]
A new gluten-free bakery has arrived to Portland (commence jumping up and down with joy)! In the building that formerly held the conventional yet not-so-successful Sweet Thing Bakery, now holds a solution for people with mean allergies and a meaner sweet tooth. The location is a bit odd – coming from the parking lot into [...]

Although it takes a little longer to prepare, the larger pearl size (as opposed to small pearl) is satisfyingly gummy in a creamy coconut base. A small amount of agave instead of [...]

This granola recipe is full of Omega-3′s, protein, healthy fats, fiber, and has just the right amount of crunch and sweetness. It was originally inspired by a [...]
You know the texture of the center of a really fresh bread roll that is served at Mom and Pop Italian restaurants? This loaf of bread mimics that soft, doughy texture without gluten, and with loads of nutrients. There are some confounding ingredients used (Teff? Psyllium seed husks? Ah!), but I highly recommend avoiding ingredient [...]
Chia seeds? Ch-Ch-Ch-Chia? Yes, you can eat them. If soaked in liquid for at least an hour, they transform into a substance that is very similar to tapioca pudding, a favorite dessert of mine that is difficult to make vegan. This is creamy, filling, and extremely satisfying when pudding cravings strike fiercely. Eat it on its [...]
