The Treats That Brought Joy Back to Our Table

When we were deep in our food sensitivity journey, what we missed most were the sweet things. The baked things. The celebratory things.

These recipes are how we found our way back. Each one has been adapted through plenty of trial and error (and more than a few disasters!) to work around foods that are incompatible with our bodies. For us, that means gluten, soy, and dairy. We're foodies, so we tested and tweaked until we were genuinely happy. These had to be delicious, and they are.

This is our new normal, and eating in a way that actually works for your body just feels good. Really good.

We hope this inspires you, but we also want to be honest: what's compatible with our bodies may not be compatible with yours. That's not a caveat. It's the whole point of everything we do.

Once you know your own specific incompatibilities, your version of this page will look completely different from ours. Your compatible foods, your joyful recipes, will be uniquely yours. And that's exactly when this kind of living — easy, abundant, genuinely delicious — becomes possible for you, too.

We hope you enjoy them!

Dede’s Coffee Cake (without dairy, gluten, soy, nut optional)

For as long as my husband can remember, his mother served her famous sour cream coffee cake every holiday morning. Keeping the tradition alive, I adapted the recipe without dairy or gluten while maintaining its trademark moist texture and crumb. After lots of experimenting, it was the combination of a certain brand of dairy free sour cream and dairy free vanilla yogurt that did the trick! This recipe is super easy and fast to make on a holiday morning before everyone gets up. Enjoy it!
