Crunchy SunButter Snack (gluten & allergy free)
When left to my own devices I tend to eat crunchy food (also called “hippie food”), but I was still a little unsure about this gluten-free, allergy-free little snack. Despite the unusual ingredients, it’s delicious! My mom used to work … Continue reading
Simple Spaghetti (gluten & allergy free)
Tomatoes. I’ve really been missing tomatoes since I found out I was allergic to them three weeks ago. Partly because they’re yummy and go well with so many things, but mostly, at least at the moment, because I’m having a … Continue reading
Debi’s Confetti Salad
I’ve shared this recipe before, but I had to post it on The Crunchy Cook again when I realized yesterday that it’s one of the few recipes previously posted on my blog that I can still eat. I can eat … Continue reading
Baked Apple Ice Cream Bowl (gluten & sugar-free)
Desserts have got to be one of the trickiest things, at least for me, to find yummy, naturally gluten-free recipes of. It doesn’t help that I’m also sugar-free and have a whole litany of food allergies. Makes desserts, well, challenging … Continue reading

Oatmeal Muffins (gluten-free & sugar-free)
My gluten-free oatmeal muffins were very loosely based on the basic muffin recipe in my Better Homes and Gardens® Cook Book. Even though I can’t eat most of the recipes without making alterations, it’s still one of my favorite cookbooks … Continue reading
Pepperoni Pizza (gluten-free & low carb)
One of the low points commonly reached by newly gluten-free folks is the oh-my-gosh-I’ll-never-eat-pizza-again phase. Of course, this isn’t true because there are several good pizza options and some restaurants now even serve gluten-free pizzas. But when you’re new, all … Continue reading
