<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: large;">Along with my children's combined list of food allergies, and my daughter's OAS symptoms to certain fruits, I have a </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">sensitivity to MSG</span><span style="font-size: large;">. And, honestly, I just miss </span><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">Chinese take-out</span><span style="font-size: large;">. But the instant migraine and hours in the bathroom (ahem) after eating it just isn't worth it. So, I found a solution! </span><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;">Slow Cooker General Tso's Chicken</span><span style="font-size: large;">! It is </span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">spicy</span><span style="font-size: large;">, filling, and so delicious. I have even eliminated the pineapple juice, (but retained the </span><span style="color: #674ea7; font-size: x-large;">sweetness</span><span style="font-size: large;">), so common in General Tso's Chicken recipes because of my daughter's OAS. Freshly ground </span><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;">ginger</span><span style="font-size: large;">, and sauteed fresh broccoli florets take this classic take-out dish to the next level of </span><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;">food bliss</span><span style="font-size: large;">. Get that slow cooker out, and stay in tonight with this homemade version of a take-out staple! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A more appropriate title for this post might be "The best </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: large;">cabbage </span><span style="font-size: large;">you've ever eaten. <span style="color: #0b5394;">Ever</span>. No really, I mean it." Although </span><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">Irish</span><span style="font-size: large;"> blood does pump through my veins, I've never been big on cabbage as a side dish. Until now. After receiving an abundance of cabbage week after week in our CSA delivery, I had to figure out new ways to prepare it. A family can only consume so much </span><span style="color: orange; font-size: large;">coleslaw</span><span style="font-size: large;"> week after week...although, I do love coleslaw, and you can find my egg free, dairy free recipe <a href="http://bit.ly/1zpF0a3">HERE</a>. I stumbled upon the magical combination of </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">cabbage</span><span style="font-size: large;"> and </span><span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-large;">bacon</span><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">, and the transformative power of roasting the two together, and now, I can't wait for more cabbage from our local farm. The edges turn brown and </span><span style="color: #783f04; font-size: x-large;">crispy</span><span style="font-size: large;">, the bacon fat bastes the wedges, and the inner leaves come out soft and buttery feeling. It's delightful. I love it so much, I might try to </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">grow</span><span style="font-size: large;"> a few heads in our garden, just for this! </span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Ingredients:</u></span><br />
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">1 head of cabbage, cut into 8 wedges, core removed</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Organic bacon, slices cut in half </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Kosher salt</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;">Freshly ground black pepper</span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Directions:</u></span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Lay wedges flat side down, on a baking sheet.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Drizzle with olive oil and generously season with salt and pepper.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Lay 2-3 strips of bacon over each wedge. Make sure none of the bacon overlaps.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Roast for 15 minutes and turn wedges over. (Yes the bacon will slide off a bit, it's ok!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Roast for another 15 minutes until the edges of the cabbage are brown and beautiful. If they aren't brown yet, continue roasting until they are!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Serve, salivate, and wonder why you didn't do this before. </span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">Longing for a way to enjoy S'mores without the campfire? I've got the answer for you! </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large;">S'mores Cookie Cups</span><span style="font-size: large;">! The original recipe came to my attention on Facebook, click </span><a href="http://www.sixsistersstuff.com/2014/06/smores-cookie-cups.html" style="font-size: x-large;">HERE</a><span style="font-size: large;"> to go to it! Needless to say, it wasn't allergy friendly for our household, so we did some tweaking in the kitchen, and came up with a delicious dessert, best served <span style="color: #783f04;">warm and gooey</span>!

One of my family's favorite summertime slow cooker meals is </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">Pulled Pork with Coleslaw</span><span style="font-size: large;">. Deep flavor, contrasted with crisp, tangy Coleslaw, all on a bun or in a tortilla! Pull out your slow cooker, and let the kids help you get this one going in the morning before heading out for a day of summer fun. By the time you get home, <span style="color: #f1c232;">dinner will be waiting for you</span>! </span><br />

The big flavors of a </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">taco dinner</span><span style="font-size: large;">, with the convenience of a </span><span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: x-large;">one </span><span style="color: #bf9000; font-size: x-large;">pot meal</span><span style="font-size: large;">! This big batch soup is perfect for a filling dinner, or for keeping in the fridge for </span><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">hungry kids</span><span style="font-size: large;"> to snack on during the day. The recipe, as I have written it, is </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">vegan</span><span style="font-size: large;">, but I've included variations that utilize chicken, turkey, or beef at the the end of the post! Check out my recipes for </span><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1Bw7cWO">Taco Seasoning</a></span><span style="font-size: large;">, and </span><span style="color: orange; font-size: x-large;"><a href="http://bit.ly/1y3itfJ">Pico de Gallo</a></span><span style="font-size: large;">, both of which I used in this soup! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Add this side dish to your </span><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;">summer</span><span style="font-size: large;"> menu! </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">Red quinoa</span><span style="font-size: large;"> is </span><span style="color: #351c75; font-size: x-large;">gluten free</span><span style="font-size: large;">, high in </span><span style="color: #38761d; font-size: x-large;">protein</span><span style="font-size: large;">, and contains essential amino acids. Low in cholesterol and high in magnesium, quinoa is certainly a trendy </span><span style="color: #e69138; font-size: x-large;">superfood</span><span style="font-size: large;">, but above all, in this side salad, it's delicious! Make it in the morning and stash it in the fridge to </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">chill </span><span style="font-size: large;">for dinner. No need to spend hours in the kitchen midday during the </span><span style="color: #f1c232; font-size: x-large;">hot summer months</span><span style="font-size: large;">! Perfect for dinner at home, or for a pot-luck picnic! </span><span style="font-size: large;"></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">This meal has three main components: chicken thighs, roasted potatoes, and a tossed salad.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">I like to make the Pico early in the day, and let it sit in the fridge for a few hours to help the flavors all come together!

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">Our tossed salad usually consists of hearts of romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, and if I have it on hand, red onion. You could also include shredded carrots, or corn for this meal! Make it ahead and let each person dress their own salad with </span><span style="color: #6aa84f; font-size: x-large;">Guacamole Dressing</span><span style="font-size: large;">. Click <a href="http://bit.ly/1tcG6Fo">HERE</a> for that recipe!</span></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="font-size: large;">I use Pee Wee Potatoes so I don't have to bother with cutting them. Coat the potatoes with Olive Oil and Taco Seasoning. Be generous with the seasoning to really get that heat and kick! Roast at 425 degrees F for about 25 minutes. Click </span><a href="http://bit.ly/1Bw7cWO" style="font-size: x-large;">HERE</a><span style="font-size: large;"> for my homemade </span><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: x-large;">Taco Seasoning Recipe</span><span style="font-size: large;">! </span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Grill chicken thighs seasoned with kosher salt and pepper. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When you serve the chicken, top it with homemade Pico de Gallo! </span></div>

(Click <a href="http://bit.ly/1Y3RI8H">HERE</a> to go to that post.) I wanted something that had the bright taste of guacamole without having to actually make guacamole...so I guess this dressing was created because I was feeling a little lazy! This dressing is creamy, tangy, and refreshing. Best of all, it's </span><span style="color: #cc0000; font-size: x-large;">dairy free and egg free</span><span style="font-size: large;">...a rare combination for a creamy dressing! </span></span><br />

And...then what? What do you do with all those cucumber slices? You could toss them in a salad, or pickle them (<a href="http://bit.ly/1UbUJy7">click here </a>for a refrigerator pickle recipe), or place them in a clear pitcher with ice and </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc; font-size: x-large;">water</span><span style="font-size: large;"> for a simple, refreshing, elegant summer drink to go with your dinner!

These pickles don't require any canning heat, so they stay cold, crunchy, and <span style="color: #f1c232;">bright tasting</span>! I make a couple jars each week because it's so simple, and my kids fly through them, adding them to burgers, sandwiches, or just eating a few as a snack! So, grab a few <span style="color: #6aa84f;">cukes</span>, roll up your sleeves, and let's pickle!!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Directions:</u></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Combine water, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a saucepan over high heat. (You can have younger children measure the ingredients into the saucepan at the counter before taking it to the stove. Older children who know stove safety can do all of this step and the next!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let cool to room temperature. (It's important that the mixture be completely cool because we don't want to cook or wilt the cukes!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*In each glass mason jar, place 1 clove garlic, 1 bunch dill, and fill with the cucumber slices. Pour the cooled vinegar mixture over the cucumbers, filling the jars, and close tightly. (You will likely have a bit of liquid left over, that's ok!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Refrigerate for at least 3 days before serving!</span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">This "Stoup" is a cross between a soup and stew, and really is a hearty meal. I always keep a few pounds of ground beef in the freezer, and my pantry is well-stocked with canned organic beans and veggies. Keep these staples around and you'll always be able to pull off this meal! </span><br />

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Communicate with the host in advance about how to help you keep your child safe and alive. Don't be vague, and kindly let the host know that she/he has a chance to be a hero and do life-protecting work in choosing what to serve at the party. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Some people are just never going to understand the severity of food allergies. Pray for them, do your best to educate them, and then, if necessary, keep your distance at the party!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Teach your children not to eat ANYTHING until they ask YOU!!!! Not grandma, or Aunt Mable, or Cousin Jimmy....YOU!</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Be on the safe side and bring a safe meal, plus a dessert and a snack to every party you attend. There's nothing worse that getting to a party with a hungry kiddo, and there are zero safe options available. Have your child help you prepare and pack the food, to give them a sense of control over their own safety. (Bring enough for your food allergic loved ones. You don't have to feed everyone at every party...unless you want to!) I love this huge insulated bag! It keeps the hot - hot, and the cold - cold! </span></li>

<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Carry extra epinephrine. And antihistamine, and steroid cream, and....</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Don't be afraid or embarrassed to cheerfully and lovingly ask way too many questions, and don't be afraid to be "that mom." We allergy moms need to be ready to accept any unflattering label if it means keeping our kiddos safe and alive. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Graciously and kindly leave the party if it's the safest option. Be cheerful about it and celebrate in a special way with your kids so they don't feel badly. </span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">With lots of little mouths in our household, we've tried many ways of quickly cooling down <span style="color: red;">hot</span> soup. Stick the bowl in the freezer for a few minutes, pile in a few (or many) <span style="color: #6fa8dc;">ice cubes</span>, dish out those bowls 10 minutes before it's time to sit for dinner...there are a lot of ways to get to the goal of perfectly warm-but-not-scalding soup. </span></div>

But, I'll be honest, I miss Jello, and so do a few of my children. It's such an easy treat to whip up, and perfect for sore throats. One day, in the "natural" section of our grocery store, I saw "Jel Dessert" calling to me from the shelf! I purchased a box of strawberry flavor, and we tested it at home. </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu_w4KiLHVTzBDI1pkpzCsCbRg-J0jALiaw7YYMyeBolh6inEZaWpsQ4yaBIJBIhyphenhyphenR8qImicBAjeUBs2H7l798KKVWI6hjRSd5RxjyYP-pK_3j5GyLQ4lJ-TqaRJvO7rSNXT4g-bxbVK1r/s1600/Jel+Dessert+1+cap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="510" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiu_w4KiLHVTzBDI1pkpzCsCbRg-J0jALiaw7YYMyeBolh6inEZaWpsQ4yaBIJBIhyphenhyphenR8qImicBAjeUBs2H7l798KKVWI6hjRSd5RxjyYP-pK_3j5GyLQ4lJ-TqaRJvO7rSNXT4g-bxbVK1r/s1600/Jel+Dessert+1+cap.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><b>Pros:</b></u> No artificial food coloring, gluten free, GMO free, kosher parve, and vegan! (The vegan label is important to us simply because we know the product will be free from dairy and eggs!) The Strawberry Jel actually tasted like real strawberries! There wasn't a chemical "fake" aftertaste. What an awesome bonus to give children fruit flavored dessert that actually tastes the fruit! There are only two steps to making the Jel, heat the water, stir in the powder. You can't get any simpler than that! The Jel also set very quickly, which is a plus when there are children anxiously waiting for it to be ready. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Cons:</u></b> No company phone number to contact, no website, no way to ask specific questions regarding allergens or manufacturing processes. </span><span style="font-size: large;">There is an email for the distributor</span><span style="font-size: large;"> on the box, but no other contact information to be found on packaging or online.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Really, in this technological era, I can't imagine why this is! <i>(If anyone can provided contact information, please share in the comments!)</i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i> </i>The only other con, which was a split vote in our house, is that the Jel dessert didn't set as firmly as it's artificial counterpart. Some preferred the softer texture and others wanted a firmer set. I am curious as to what would happen if I reduced the water, and I'll probably try that next time. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<b style="font-size: x-large;"><u>Bottom Line:</u></b><span style="font-size: large;"> My 11 year old son, who is not usually a fan of gelatin desserts declared that this was "way better than regular Jello." The rest of the jury gave their thumbs up, and asked when we could have it again. We're all looking forward to trying the other flavors! I'll be stocking a few boxes in the pantry for special occasions and sore throats.</span><br />

You can read my official review <a href="http://bit.ly/1MUl6p9">HERE</a>. We have been making sushi for lunch, sushi for snack, sushi for dinner...but what about sushi for breakfast?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Neither my 11 year old nor I are huge "breakfast food" fans. We're not into cereal, toast, etc. We are an egg free home, so omelets are also a no-go. He and I are most likely to be eating reheated dinner for breakfast, so the two of us put our heads together to come up with a way to use our <a href="http://bit.ly/1GyuTPS">Sushi Quik</a> for breakfast! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">What we came up with was a riff on bagels and lox. We maintained all the smokey, creamy goodness, but without dairy or wheat! The result is a flavorful, satisfying breakfast that doesn't induce the "overfull" feeling that a bagel sometimes does. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Make a batch of sushi rice for the week, and store it in the fridge, so that this breakfast meal is always just minutes away!</span><br />

My 11 year old, son has been begging me to teach him how to make sushi. He has multiple food allergies, and anytime he wants to learn a specific skill in the kitchen, I make sure to teach him. </span><a href="http://bit.ly/1DVqllC" style="font-size: x-large;">(Click here to learn more about my philosophy on why children with food allergies should learn to cook.)</a><span style="font-size: large;"> I received the product for review, and we have had a blast using it! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir-rcGOFoArLKXJK_zSJjQrldEtm3UEhp0fuO79vzTQNgsTO6maJJUeas37GAnWhCK0uMc93-h890UDVtn_sEA8pA5ejvlGwMLuuwwlSVKS-pjhyuO6L-Xew7myK5xiNtOOJBvp-balahG/s1600/Sushi+Quik+2+cap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEir-rcGOFoArLKXJK_zSJjQrldEtm3UEhp0fuO79vzTQNgsTO6maJJUeas37GAnWhCK0uMc93-h890UDVtn_sEA8pA5ejvlGwMLuuwwlSVKS-pjhyuO6L-Xew7myK5xiNtOOJBvp-balahG/s1600/Sushi+Quik+2+cap.jpg" height="640" width="480" /></a></div>

</div>
<a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b style="text-decoration: underline;">Pros:</b> <a href="http://bit.ly/1GyuTPS">Sushi Quik</a> is a sushi making kit that comes with all the equipment needed to practically guarantee sushi success: rolling mat, rice scoop/spreader, training frame (to get just the right amount of rice in the right place on the nori sheet), slicing guide, and sauce dipping cups. Even my six year old was able to assemble and roll his own sushi roll unassisted! (I did the slicing.) </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0KgRh6V0yMWdmxnrfLUtq0EE9D04uq4OE19oSaZP5WHvM6O1yn3BNvq2Dy53Gs3ldfS_0I3a3nM6FveXO0uhkT_plWFkgpkLpQ1tcKTcMBZjiZB6iEsrPS2KPGKnLzR58ICQ4OiJmGydh/s1600/Sushi+Quik+5+cap.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0KgRh6V0yMWdmxnrfLUtq0EE9D04uq4OE19oSaZP5WHvM6O1yn3BNvq2Dy53Gs3ldfS_0I3a3nM6FveXO0uhkT_plWFkgpkLpQ1tcKTcMBZjiZB6iEsrPS2KPGKnLzR58ICQ4OiJmGydh/s1600/Sushi+Quik+5+cap.jpg" height="476" width="640" /></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">A true bonus is that all the pieces are dishwasher safe! The instructions that come with the <a href="http://bit.ly/1GyuTPS">Sushi Quik</a> are clear and easy to follow, and each item in the set does exactly what it is supposed to do! The rolling mat can be disassembled for easier cleaning, and clicks back together easily. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">None of us could believe that we were able to make fancy looking sushi, so quickly and deftly the first time we tried! This was a big "pro" to me because kids need to see and feel success when they are learning how to cook. Often, their cookies aren't as pretty as mom's, or their attempts at cutting/slicing yield jagged results. And sometimes, noticing these differences can cause frustration and discouragement. With the <a href="http://bit.ly/1GyuTPS">Sushi Quik</a>, ALL of their results were impressive the first time trying, and each of the children felt really accomplished. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>Cons:</u></b> This isn't really a con, more of an idea: my kids wanted to try chopsticks, and we didn't have any. Consider offering those kid friendly "starter" chopsticks as an add on to the product. (The ones tha</span><span style="font-size: large;">t are attached at the top so they automatically spring back open.)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u style="font-weight: bold;">Bottom Line:</u> We will continue to use our <a href="http://bit.ly/1GyuTPS">Sushi Quik</a>! We love it! Keep some sliced veggies, a container of cooked sushi rice, and some protein (the bigger kids like shrimp, the littler ones preferred to stick with chicken) in the the fridge, and celebrate as your children confidently make themselves sushi for a snack or lunch! This has been as awesome addition to our kitchen, and it will be to yours also! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Sometimes, I get a wee bit nostalgic when I see families all around us reveling in the delivery of their Girl Scout Cookies. My two childhood favorites were Thin Mints (<a href="http://bit.ly/1A5NqUO">click HERE for my version</a>), and Tagalongs. Shortbread and peanut butter, all covered in chocolate....when I close my eyes and think about it, I'm back in my mom's kitchen, climbing on the counter to reach that box of creamy deliciousness. Food memories are powerful, aren't they?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Fast forward to today, when Girl Scout cookies do not fit in with our food allergy lifestyle, and of course, I have taken on the challenge to create an allergy friendly edition of my favorites. After several versions, and many willing taste-testers, I am happy to share my recipe for SunButter Tagalongs! </span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 sticks Earth Balance Buttery Sticks (or other dairy free margarine)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 cup granulated sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 cups unbleached all-purpose flour</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/4 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon salt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2 Tablespoons flax milk</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Ingredients for the SunButter Filling and Chocolate Coating:</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 1/2 cups creamy SunButter</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3/4 cup confectioners' sugar</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/8 teaspoon salt</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Tablespoon vegetable shortening</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1 10 oz bag dairy free chocolate morsels (such as Enjoy Life)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1/2 Tablespoon vegetable shortening </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Directions for the Shortbread:</u></span><br />
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Preheat oven to 350 degrees F</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*In a stand mixer, fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together Earth Balance and granulated sugar.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Add flour mixture to the creamed Earth Balance and sugar at a low speed. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Add the vanilla and flax milk, gradually increase speed until dough comes together. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Lightly flour a clean counter and gently roll the dough out to just under 1/2 inch thick. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Using a circular cookie or biscuit cutter, cut circles of dough and place on lined baking sheets. (Feel free to experiment with size here, we've made small ones, large ones, there isn't a hard and fast rule about how big to make these cookies - that's the beauty of homemade!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Bake for 11-13 minutes, until cookies are set.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Immediately upon removing cookies from the oven, use your thumb or measuring spoon, make a small indentation in the center of each cookie. This is what will hold the filling. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Allow cookies to cool for 5 minutes on baking sheets, then remove to wire cooling racks to cool completely.</span></li>
</ol>

<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><u>Directions for Filling and Cookie Completion:</u></span></div>
<div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together all the filling ingredients until fully combined and creamy. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Fill a piping bag fitted with a large circular tip with the SunButter filling. (You can also use a zip top bag and snip off the corner.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Fill the indentation on each shortbread cookie with SunButter filling. (We like to fill generously, use your own taste and judgement here. Be beware, too much and it's likely to fall off in the dipping process!)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Chill cookies for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">After the chilling time, make the chocolate coating. Melt the morsels and shortening together in the microwave at 30 second intervals. (Heat, stir, repeat until nearly smooth. Use the residual heat to melt the last bits of chocolate.)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">*Using a fork, dip the chilled cookies into the chocolate to coat. Allow the excess to drip off and place cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Chill for 15-25 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Serve and enjoy! </span></li>

I was casually scrolling down my Instagram feed, <i><a href="https://instagram.com/allergysafekitchen/">(Whaaat?! You don't follow me on Instagram yet? Click here and follow!)</a></i> and lo and behold, there appeared <a href="http://clintonkelly.com/food-drink/spicy-slow-cooker-steak">Clinton Kelly's Ropa Vieja slow cooker recipe</a>. Jackpot. My little guy is allergic to beef, which the recipe calls for, but I was pretty sure I could achieve familial culinary satisfaction by using pork. I was right! As it bubbled away in the slow cooker, children would wander in, drooling, and ask hopefully "Is that dinner?" </span><br />

<i><i><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></i></i>
<span style="font-size: large;">My instructions and tips regarding this recipe:</span><br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I doubled recipe, using two slow cookers, and substituted pork for beef. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">If you are nervous about purchasing ground cumin because of the recall, <a href="http://bit.ly/1CfcFEb">click HERE</a> for my tutorial about grinding your own.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">I served the Ropa Vieja over rice for dinner, and with tortillas for lunch the following day. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">By doubling the recipe, I was able to get two full meals for my family, AND a 4 cup freezer-container-ful for a convenient meal another time! </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">Get your kids helping with this recipe by having them measure spices, slice the bell peppers, slice onions, open the cans of tomatoes, and coat the raw meat with the spice mixture. They can also layer the ingredients in the slow cooker. (Only give slicing jobs to children who are able to safely manage a knife. Nylon knives are great for training children how to cut while maintaining safety!) </span></li>

<span style="font-size: large;">Stuck with a rock hard avocado, but really want to make guacamole for your weekend get-together? (gasp) Will they ripen in time?! Never fear! </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Just place the unripe avocados in a paper bag with a two or three apples or bananas. They will ripen within one or two days! Keep an eye on them, because they can get too soft fairly quickly! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">While guacamole is certai</span><span style="font-size: large;">nly a family favorite in our home (click </span><a href="http://bit.ly/1y3itfJ" style="font-size: x-large;">HERE</a><span style="font-size: large;"> for recipe), there are many other ways to include the potassium, lutein, and heart healthy fats of avocados in your diet! </span><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">blend into a smoothie</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">place slices on a sandwich instead of mayo/vegenaise</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">whisk together with lemon, salt, and pepper for a creamy salad dressing, or on chicken or fish</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: large;">mash it with lemon juice, and spread on toast with a few red pepper flakes, salt, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil</span></li>
</ul>

It feeds the belly and warms the soul. Perfect for lunch, dinner, and in a mug for a mid-afternoon snack. I love soup. I love soup in all four seasons. I love the love that homemade soup connotes. But enough about my deep affection for soup! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The original "inspiration" recipe for this allergy friendly version morphed into a four-version-tasting-supper for my family. The recipe in this post is the winning version, which my children have dubbed "Creamy Spicy." (There was also "Creamy Mild," "Broth-y Mild," and "Broth-y Spicy.") My mother wanted me to call it "Chickpea Surprise," because she (as a passionate chickpea hater) was shocked that she loved this soup! The chickpeas simply give the soup a creamy texture without dairy.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The grocery budget in a food allergy home can often be a bit overwhelming, so I love making use of every possible part of a food item! Most people just toss out their parsley stems, but I have news for you: they have flavor! Don't waste them!</span></div>
<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At least once a week, there's a big stock pot of stock bubbling away on my stove top, or in a crock pot. I keep veggie scraps in zip top bags in the freezer so I can toss in items for extra flavor anytime, without making a special shopping trip for ingredients. One item that I often add to my stock: parsley stems. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">As we use up the bunch of parsley here and there, I just add the stems to the bag in the freezer. Then, when I make stock, I just toss a few in! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Finely chopped parsley stems can also be a tasty addition anywhere that you might use raw celery, such as in tuna salad, or chicken salad. Great flavor, and great crunchy texture! </span><br />
