2013-1-11 Fabulous Friday Finds

New Orleans dog, 2010

It’s Friday!  Let’s share some fun stuff.

Does life feel like THIS sometimes?  Yes, yes it does.

However, Maria’s post about re-educating your tastebuds holds true, too, though for me it’s been a stop-and-start, few steps forward, many steps back kind of progress.  Sometimes we need to be reminded that it is progress, we are moving forward, even if the changes are gradual.

Here’s a interesting recipe for Gluten-free dinner rolls that can also be dairy and egg free.  They look good. They suggest using flax, but I bet chia would work too.

I found an egg replacement product called The Vegg, because Hannah Kaminsky did a review on her blog and posted some recipes about it.  The Linguine alla Carbonara recipe she posted looks awesome, and the potential use for omelets is intriguing. I ordered some and will report back.

It’s still winter here (New Hampshire). Sigh.  I did find this lovely post on how to make Vegan Candy Cane Hot Cocoa mix in a lovely gift jar.  I’d sub out the coconut sugar obviously, but it looks really yummy.  (Any reason just-plain-sugar wouldn’t work? — mk)

I’m also craving comfort food, which for me includes alfredo sauce on pasta.  I found this recipe, which does contain tree nuts, but doesn’t contain soy.

I know we’ve linked to DIY non-dairy milks, but oh she glows is doing a series, starting with oat milk.  I will be following because — well, cheaper and more control of ingredients.

Do you get seasonal “I-need-to-eat-comfort-food-full-of-carbs-because-I’m-freaking -cold” disorder (or is that just me, Denise)?  If so what are some of the comfort foods you’re craving right now? (NACHOS.  -mk)
