Review: Josie’s Best Gluten-Free Waffle Mix
Have you ever gotten a kitchen gadget that is truly only good for one thing, but it’s so incredibly user-friendly that you find yourself grabbing for it, time and again? A frivolous purchase in someone’s hands becomes an indispensable purchase in yours. I love my little Dash Mini waffle maker (Dash, sponsor me! We’ll do […]
Recipe: Homemade Applesauce for Canning
If you’ve read my blog, you know that applesauce is an important part of many of my dairy-free recipes. I rely on it for baked goods, pancakes, and as a delicious snack. Making homemade applesauce has become a lot easier for me since I got a stand mixer attachment that can peel, core, and slice […]
Gift Idea: Vegan Hot Chocolate Mix
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 […]
Flyer Beware: Why I’ll Never Fly American Airlines Again (Probably)
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.

Word of 2017: Restore
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 […]
Why I’m Going Sugar-Free for 30 Days
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: A Milwaukee Gem for Dairy-Free Folks
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 […]
