Crockpot Hawaiian Kalua Pork

A few years back, I wondered if I could replicate the traditional Luau Pork in a crockpot, to serve at a Hawaiian themed party.  Internet searches led me to a variation of this recipe, which is both wonderfully flavorful and wonderfully easy!  The only catch is that it takes a lot of time.  It stews Read More …

Portobello Mushroom Burgers

I love mushrooms!  Especially cooked mushrooms.  That flavor is just oh, so delectable! So last week I decided to pull out an old recipe, for Portobello Mushroom Burgers! Portobellos rival meat in price per pound, but I think they are lighter than a hamburger would be, and also form a better circle! The boys don’t Read More …

Pumpkin Pasta

Do you ever get bored with the way you serve pasta? Red sauce, white sauce, plain old butter, olive oil (I hear people use pesto, not an option here.) There are different ways to dress it up, and different proteins to add, but often kids, in particular, latch onto one type of pasta and aren’t Read More …

Smoked Salmon Medley

This recipe is a family favorite! We got it around the time my husband and I married, and it has become our go-to appetizer for holidays and family gatherings. Somebody is always asking if we’re going to make it. This year we made it for–you guessed it, Easter! Smoked Salmon Medley Ingredients: 8oz brick of Read More …

Chocolate “Butter”cream Frosting

Hello friends! Let’s talk about frosting. I have turned into a frosting snob over the last few years. For Zax’s first birthday, I discovered several frosting recipes that I absolutely love, and now I can’t make myself go back to canned frosting. I didn’t really make this switch because of allergies–the store-bought ones are usually Read More …

Sunbutter and Jelly Cookie Bars

Even though I grew up with a severe tree nut allergy, that didn’t mean that I couldn’t enjoy peanuts. And I did enjoy peanuts! Perhaps not as much as my husband, but I routinely enjoyed lots of peanut products. Back in the days when hubby and I ate peanuts without a second thought, my mom Read More …

Chocolate Wacky Cake

This is a very old cake recipe. It goes back to the depression era when eggs, butter, and milk were both expensive and rationed, so some genius (who is lost in the annals of history) developed this cake. I’ve seen it referred to online as the “Wacky Cake,” “Crazy Cake,” “Depression Era Cake,” and the Read More …

Baked Donuts

There are two of us behind most of our Allergy Superheroes accounts, although my husband is the one who is generally behind Pinterest. The other day, he was telling me about all the eggless baked donut recipes he was finding, and that we needed to get a donut pan so we could try them. My Read More …
