Low FODMAP Corn Muffins
I’m all for making new traditions – scrapping the ones that don’t serve you any more in favor of new things. Hey, if you do it more than once, it can count as tradition, right? That’s how I feel about these corn muffins. I’ve made them two years in a row, so by now, they’re […]
MN Nice Cream – A Glittery Summer Treat
My favorite thing about moving to a new place is checking out all of the local small businesses, especially places to eat. I enjoy taking time out of my day to stop at a nearby coffee shop, pick up freshly baked sourdough at a small bakery, or get a refreshing ice cream cone on a […]
MOD Pizza: Dairy-Free Pizza Lovers, Rejoice!
When you have a special diet, it’s hard to find reliable quick eat locations sometimes, especially when you’re not in a big city.

Review: Glam Doll Donuts
Last year, we moved from one side of Wisconsin to the other. Don’t worry, we’re still in the Dairy State, so this can still be Dairy-Free State.

Sourced in Nature Foods: The Best Hot Sauce You’re Not Buying (…Yet!)
I started Dairy-Free State in 2013 after being fed up with dairy-free products that didn’t taste good. I wanted to share my thoughts on products I didn’t think were worth the money, and also praise the items I bought again and again. When I find something I like, I become a loyal customer for years. […]
Recipe: Homemade Elderberry Syrup
There’s a lot I want to accomplish in my future. One of the things I want to learn is more about herbs and take herbalist courses. In the meantime, I’ve been trying to learn what I can from Dr. Tieraona Low Dog and Mountain Rose Herbs, and one thing I’ve learned to make is homemade […]
Recipe: Hibiscus Strawberry Infused Water
Do you ever have those recipes you love and one day they just up and disappear on you, all before you remembered to save it in case such a thing occurs? There was this awesome hibiscus and strawberry infused water I saw Jamie Oliver make on a video once, and for the life of me, […]
Dairy-Free Detroit-Style Pizza from Melt Pizza Company
Everyone’s got “those places” in their town – The places that have lines around the block, waiting lists that fill up immediately, or things that sell out every week. In Hudson, Wisconsin, one of those places is Melt Pizza Company, a pop-up Detroit-style pizza restaurant inside of Pedro’s Del Este, a popular tapas restaurant. The […]
