The weather’s getting colder, and that can only mean one thing! Well, I guess it can mean a lot of things, but one of those is it’s time to drink eggnog! No eggs or dairy though — y’all okay with that?

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies (Gluten-Free, Vegan)
This recipe is Fall in cookie form. It uses pumpkin puree, allergy-friendly chocolate chips, & oats. The end result is a decadent cookie that my children love!
New York Bagels, part 2: Vegan? No problem. But Gluten-free?
As long as you don’t use an egg wash, it’s pretty easy to keep bagels Vegan. But Gluten-free bagels are much tougher — often literally. And when you can’t use milk or eggs to help out a little, it’s even more of a challenge. But I’ve had quite a bit of success doing just that.
Pizza, Part 2: Making it Allergy-Friendly (Gluten Free, Vegan)
Now that we’ve written obsessively about what makes New York-style pizza great, we’ll break basically all of those rules to make the best allergy-friendly pizza we can.
Pizza: Demystifying the New York Legend (Part 1)
This article about pizza is going to be split into 2 parts. The first part is a departure from what this site usually covers: I’m going to talk about traditional, very allergy-unfriendly New York pizza, with plenty of gluten and cheese.

Let Them Eat Rainbow Cookie Cake! (Gluten-Free, Vegan)
This is just one example of what you can do with King Arthur’s Gluten-Free Classic Yellow Cake Mix. It’s a layer cake inspired by Italian rainbow cookies. I’ll also share some other things I’ve learned about how to get the most out of this mix.
Instant Pot Chicken Soup
Anytime anyone gets the sniffles in my house, we make chicken soup. All I know is, when we get sick, there’s nothing quite as comforting as a bowl of chicken soup. Using a pressure cooker makes it easier to whip up a batch and be on sick-kid-duty all in the same day.
Allergy-friendly Banana (ish) Muffins
They’re not exactly banana muffins and they’re not exactly corn muffins, but somehow by throwing all of that into a blender (literally), we came out with something special.
Allergy-friendly Bread (Gluten-free, Vegan)
There are many wheat-free bread options on the market these days, but many of them compensate by adding dairy or eggs. So I studied a few different recipes; some gluten-free, others vegan. They often felt pretty complicated, as opposed to the beautiful simplicity of classic home-made white bread. I wanted to make it simpler, so I tried to imitate my favorite white bread recipe as much as possible. Here’s what I came up with.
Roasted Chicken with Potatoes
You can prepare this simple-yet-elegant chicken dish the night before, when no children are around to chuck stuffed animals at you, or crab crawl in your path, or shout odd phrases like “Banana juice!” at you. So peaceful, so quiet. Just you and the chicken in the kitchen.
