My family and I have been trying to stick to a dairy-free diet due to allergies, and so are chiefly deprived of real chocolate. So when I found this recipe for dairy-free chocolate on a blog a few weeks ago I was excited to try it. I have made it a few times since then and it’s turned out [...]

I tried a batch of these cookies a couple days ago, after finding it in one of my Better Homes and Gardens magazine. I substituted cherries for the cranberries, and left out the walnuts, and my family loved them! I made another double batch again yesterday, along with my Grandma’s sugar cookies which we all decorated after. Here is [...]

Just a couple of days ago, I found this neat recipe on how to make a “cake in a mug” via the microwave. I knew I could use substitutes for some of the dairy-contained ingredients it listed, so I thought I’d give it a try. I was surprised at how great it turned out! It was perfectly cooked from the inside [...]

Last Saturday I was browsing recipes when I came upon one, which was labeled “Dump Cake”. It looked like a quick thing to make, and I thought I’d try it out. You start off by simply dumping in your choice of fruit or pie filling, enough to fill the bottom of a 9×13 inch pan. Then dump one box [...]

The other day I was trying to find a dairy free cookie recipe to make (we are having some dairy issues in our family) along with one that didn’t call for eggs, since we happened to be out at the time.
