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?

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.
TRY IT OUT! Pupusa Recipe from Views On The Road
We try out a pupusa recipe from Views On The Road, which only needs one easy ingredient substitution (vegan cheese) to be allergy-friendly.
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.
Allergy-friendly Waffles
After perfecting our recipe for allergy-friendly cornmeal pancakes, it only seemed logical to move on to waffles. Aside from the shape and cooking method, they’re largely made up of the same stuff. But there are a few differences. Waffle batter is usually a little runnier, and has more oil incorporated. But what about the egg whites?
Cuban Picadillo
We are seriously living in strange times. I recently had to venture out of the house to make a much needed trip to the grocery store. Barren shelves. Face masks. Vinyl gloves. Going to the grocery store without my 3 kids in tow used to feel like such a luxurious experience. Now, I’m trying to get in and out as quickly as possible, trying not to touch anyone or anything other than the few items the store managed to restock since people lost their minds and snatched up all the toilet paper. But I was able to find ground beef, so looks like meat’s back on the menu, boys!
Instant Pot Carne con Papas
Here comes another quintessentially Cuban dish: Meat and Potatoes! No seriously, that’s the name. Carne con Papas sounds like it could be anything that involves meat and potatoes, but it’s actually a pretty specific dish recognizable to Cubans and Cuban Americans like me, and lots of families have their own variations on how to cook it. It’s a tomato-based beef stew with quartered potatoes, served over a plate of white rice.
Red Curry Tilapia
I fell in love with Thai food when I lived in New York. There’s this really amazing restaurant, Frankly Thai, around the corner from where my in-laws live in Franklin Square, NY. My husband and I will still sneak out to Frankly Thai on a date night every so often when we visit, but we’ve never taken the boys. As anyone with allergies knows, eating out at restaurants is… complicated.
