I’ve been going through a lot since the beginning of 2016. I’ve had nonstop chronic health problems. I’ve left a career path I thought I’d be in forever to start a new one. Most importantly, in all of the fray, I haven’t taken a lot of time to do things that I love, like making […]
It took me a long time to post this, but the warning to friends and readers with food allergies or special diets was too important not to post. This summer, I flew from London to Chicago on American Airlines without a full meal. American Airlines promised on their website and on the phone that they would […]
I posted recently about the mini cherry pies that are a total hit at our parties. I had to follow that up with the punch that’s always a huge hit. I don’t have any clever names for it, so let’s just call it Cranberry Party Punch.
Every year, no matter what else is going on, we take time out of our schedule to host an ugly sweater party. It’s totally cheesy and fun, and it’s my excuse to make a ton of food, most of which isn’t healthy in any way, shape, or form. This year, we gave the winner an […]
I don’t know about you, but my social media feeds have been blowing up for a while with how lousy 2016 was, for a lot of reasons. You’re probably looking forward to a new start with 2017, hopefully with less lousiness in general. Since 2015, I’ve picked a word of the year to think about […]
Last Monday, I cut sugar out of my diet. I’m going to go sugar-free for 30 days, and might go well beyond that. What I wanted to do today, and what I’ve wanted to tell all my readers for a while, is why. It’s also one of the reason why I haven’t been posting as […]
Beerline Cafe is a great, relatively new restaurant in Milwaukee that you’ll want to visit again and again. I know this because it happened to me. In the span of a couple weeks, I visited Beerline Cafe four times. What can I say? It’s a great place to meet friends. It’s great for people who […]
Hi, Dairy-Free Staters! I’ve got a quick recipe that should get you over this mid-week hump. I talked about this recipe way back when, when I did the Whole30. On Monday, I started cutting out sugar (more on that in a future post). This recipe Monkey Salad is good for anyone looking for a sweet […]
Now that I’m back writing more regular posts, I’ve made it my goal to review more dairy-free products. One of the reasons I started Dairy-Free State is because I didn’t want people to waste their money on products that didn’t taste good, like I had to for years. I also realized I didn’t have any […]
