Re: Celebrating Thanksgiving – Focus on the Day, Not on the Food
Good Morning! I'm a Mom of 2, ages 3.5 and 18 months. In our household we have an anaphylactic dairy allergy and a corn allergy. I am the one with the anaphylaxis and I've lived WELL with this allergy all my life. I'd just like to say that Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday and if there is extended family and friends who will cooperate with your food allergies, you can have a safe and delicious Thanksgiving. It's about trust... and about education... and possibly about providing recipes and...

Re: Milk-Free, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe
Yum! Can this be used to make other "cream of" soups too?? I know I can't find cream of celery soup that is called for in some old family recipes I have.
Comment
Re: Milk-Free, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe
Hi Kathy, Yes, I would assume this would do nicely with celery instead of mushroom. I've not made it myself (I'm just now convincing myself that it's okay to eat celery twice a year ). I would suggest replacing the 1 cup of mushrooms with about 3/4 cup diced celery. For the cream of mushroom soup, it is delicious on pasta -- I mix it with broccoli and served on gluten-free pasta. Also--good for casserole; but if you're storing it before use, it will really thicken/condense (garbanzo flour is...

Comment
Re: Milk-Free, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe
Stacey -- You should be able to use regular flour. I have used a similar recipe for years and I always use regular wheat flour.

Is there any substitute for cornstarch? My son is also allergic to corn....how would the recipe turn out without it?

Re: Milk-Free, Soy-Free, Gluten-Free Cream of Mushroom Soup Recipe
My son has celiac disease and have been looking for something to substitute for the cream soups that are in so many traditional recipes. I made this tonight to try it on green bean casserole minus the French onions and it was amazing. Way better than the can stuff! Thank you so much.

Re: Mom's Allergy-Friendly Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Is the same true for a pecan pie (if allowed)? tapioca starch for the 3 eggs? thanks, cm
Comment
Re: Mom's Allergy-Friendly Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe
I have not seen tapioca starch used as an egg replacer for pecan pie. Have you tried looking for a vegan version?
Comment
Re: Mom's Allergy-Friendly Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe
The other difference between pumpkin and pecan pies is the body or structure of the filling. This is why I like to do smaller individual pecan pies. A pecan pie is a sugar custard and does not have the pumpkin puree to help with stability. I don't think only using a starch to set up a pecan pie will work. If you can do soy, Post Punk Kitchen (very reputable vegan cooking blog) has a Maple Pecan Pie that uses tofu.
Comment
Re: Mom's Allergy-Friendly Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe
For egg free pecan pie I prefer to make individual little pies called Pecan Tassies. We have a recipe in the Safe Eats Recipe collection that is available for Family Members (cost is $25 or sponsored memberships available). Family Members can find the recipe here: Pecan Tassies
Comment
Re: Mom's Allergy-Friendly Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Just an FYI that I tried that Pecan Tassie recipe as a bigger pie and it was messy disaster! That filling doesn't have the structure you need for a bigger pie. It is mainly sugar and made a caramel fountain all over my oven! It might work OK in mini pies that bake for shorter time, but not so much in a full size pie.

Re: Mom's Allergy-Friendly Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe
This is a great recipe! We have a corn and a dairy allergy in our household and my kids and I are making a pumpkin pie from scratch for Thanksgiving... I have a blog entry that describes how to prepare pumpkin from scratch (as in using those little pumpkins the kids picked out around Halloween time). It also tells how to make your own dairy-free, corn-free graham cracker crust, and what to do with the seeds from the pumpkin! :-) http://anunexpectedlynourishin...ves-way-to-fall.html

Re: Mom's Allergy-Friendly Easy Pumpkin Pie Recipe
Hey! That's the pie I made yesterday! Except that I used canned coconut milk, modified corn starch, and added cinnamon. Cybelle Pascal's rice milk version of the recipe includes a packet of gelatin as well, I guess it helps thicken.

Re: Flaky Biscuits Recipe: Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Wheat/Gluten-Free
If you don't need these to be gluten free, they can be made with wheat flour. My favorite combo is 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour plus 1/2 cup whole wheat pastry flour. But you can use 2 cups all purpose flour also.

Re: Flaky Biscuits Recipe: Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Wheat/Gluten-Free
can you substitute butter or margarine with shortening?

Re: Flaky Biscuits Recipe: Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Wheat/Gluten-Free
You can, but they may be a bit drier in texture.
Comment
Re: Flaky Biscuits Recipe: Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Wheat/Gluten-Free
Cocoanut milk does not happen in our local grocery stores...and I live 130 miles from a big town where this product is available. Will the top recipe work with regular milk and be flaky? I am so anxious for a biscuit that is not like a hockey puck in texture, and probably flavor. Have never tried to eat a hockey puck, but they don't sound yummy!!! Thanks.
Comment
Re: Flaky Biscuits Recipe: Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Wheat/Gluten-Free
They should work w/ cow's milk (I'm assuming that's what you mean by regular milk) or most other milk alternatives. I've used unsweetened unflavored soy milk as well. The "flaky" part mainly comes in w/ not overworking things. Don't be too aggressive on cutting in the fat. It's OK to have some pieces you can actually see. And then handle it gently so you don't heat things up w/ your hands. GL - I hope they come out well for you! I've baked many a hockey puck in my day....but have always been...

Re: Flaky Biscuits Recipe: Dairy-Free, Egg-Free, Wheat/Gluten-Free
