S1E8: Annie Wegner LeFort
Welcome to another episode of Dairy-Free State! This week’s guest is Annie Wegner LeFort. Annie was a pastry chef around the same time she realized she needed to go gluten-free. What a torturous thing to be surrounded by temptation as you’re changing your diet!
Fat Tuesday: Vegan Paczki
This weekend, I did something I thought I’d never do – deep-fry. It’s something I’ve been toying around with since last year. While I’m not Polish, growing up in Wisconsin and being around a lot of people who order paczki every year for Fat Tuesday always left me wanting to be able to eat them, […]
Happy Valentine’s Day! Vegan Red Velvet Sandwich Cookies
Cupcakes are great, but sandwich cookies and whoopie pies are the new trendy baked goods. Combine that with red velvet, one of the hottest and most traditional Southern cake flavors, and you’ve got a Valentine’s Day treat that won’t miss. Bonus for you – the cake scraps you are left with at the end. A […]
Steel-Cut Oats: Maple and Brown Sugar
Here it is, the much-awaited second installment of my vast array of steel-cut oats recipes. This one’s really easy and really tasty, and it only requires three ingredients (besides water). Here’s what you need:
Noms: Pumpkin Walnut Muffins
When it’s cold outside, my cravings for pumpkin-flavored everything goes through the roof. If you share this same addiction, you’ll love this recipe for pumpkin walnut mini muffins. Mini muffins are great, especially for adding just a little something sweet to your lunch every day (or for sharing bite-sized noms with friends!)
No Egg? No Problem!
First and foremost, this blog is for those who want to live or are living dairy-free, but like I’ve said in other posts, I don’t want to limit my content so that those with other allergies can’t enjoy the recipes I post. Whether you’re vegan, allergic to eggs, or just looking to be a little […]
Copycat: Noodles’ Pasta Fresca Recipe (Chicken Optional)
I am not someone who ever eats fast food. I do, however, pick up “casual dinners” on occasion (think Panera, Noodles, delis, etc.) Noodles’ Pasta Fresca has got to be one of my favorite quick meals for a hectic evening, but when I have time, I like to replicate this recipe myself. Now you can, […]
Indulge: Vegan Cinnamon Rolls
Most people start off the new year with a healthy initiative. Me – I do things a little differently. For the second year in a row, I continued my annual tradition to make vegan cinnamon rolls on the first day of the year. And, I can’t stress this enough, I only plan on making these […]
Review: Silk Fruity & Creamy Peach Mango Yogurt
I’ve been avoiding Silk yogurt for a long time. Years ago, when I first started eating dairy-free, it was the only soy yogurt available anywhere near my house. I remember the old Silk yogurt being clumpy, with a weird taste, and it was very disheartening for a former yogurt lover. Over the years, I’ve tried […]
In Defense of Food: The Age of Nutritionism
Part I of In Defense of Food discusses the history and complexities of nutritionism, something that is hard to explain and even harder to understand. (And harder still to summarize. Seriously, buy the book). Behind the scenes, nutritional scientists have a lot of complex relationships and nutrients on their hands with no clear conclusions, but […]
