Zucchini Lasagna

One of the popular foods that George has not been able to have in a very long time is Lasagna. I've been stumped for the longest time on how to make this dish in a George friendly way. Then we discovered Daiya and a few ricotta "cheese" recipes that work very, very well. Daiya is a dairy-free, soy-free cheese that comes in mozzarella, jack, pepper jack, cheddar and jalapeno garlic havarti. We were going to use the mozzarella in this recipe but we forgot to go to Sprouts to pick it up, so we did without. And we were not disappointed!

Fresh Mint Tea

So I was looking through our fridge for something to have for lunch and I realized that we still had a few bundles of mint stuck in a bag in the very back. So I pulled them out and made tea! I made fresh mint tea and then I also went through the process of making dried leaf mint tea. It's super easy if you have a dehydrator, probably not so easy if you tried to do it with just the oven, though. I have dehydrated things in the oven before but it was horrible. The food turned out perfect, the mood of everyone in the apartment, not so much. Dehydrating food in the oven should be left to winter months only.

Whole Cauliflower in Tomato Sauce

I hate turning on my oven in the middle of summer. I hate it so much that for my birthday, I asked for a crock pot! And my wish came true (many times). I now am the proud owner of three different sized crock pots that will all come in handy this summer. The recipe here is for a crock pot, but I adapted it from this recipe here, which was originally for the oven. If you want to try it in the oven, I would recommend some cooler weather, or at least an amazing air conditioner!

A Quick Introduction

(Me and George)

Allergic to (almost!) Everything
There are people that have developed allergies or intolerances to a lot of different kinds of foods. Some of the big ones are milk, soy, peanuts, eggs and gluten. These allergies cause difficulties in making foods for people (especially if the food that they want is one that there is no way they can have, i.e. cheesecake for a lactose intolerant person).
