Upside Down Pizza

1 lb. bulk italian sausage
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 onion, chopped
1 bag frozen corn
15 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 tsp. italian seasoning
1 cup shredded Daiya mozzarella style shreds
1 cup almond milk
3 tbsp. oil
1 egg or replacements. See How To Replace An Egg
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt

Brown the sausage in a skillet and set aside.  Drain off most of the drippings.  Saute the pepper and onion.  Add the corn and undrained tomatoes; simmer for about 10 minutes.  Add the sausage to the vegetable mix and stir in Italian seasoning. Pour into an oven-safe dish and sprinkle with cheese. 

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond milk, oil, egg, flour, and salt.  Pour on top of the meat and veggi mix.  Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown on top.

Milk Substitutes

A huge challenge for us has been discovering the best way to replace milk in recipes. As a lover of all dairy products, I have yet to be able to drink a plain or "original" milk substitute. Almond Breeze dark chocolate almond milk is delicious!


In cooking, I have found that the creaminess of coconut milk makes it an excellent whole milk replacement. I often use almond milk for stovetop recipes, though the two tend to be interchangeable. I have yet to have good success with rice milk.


Has anyone had success making pudding with rice, almond, or coconut milk? Mine fail to thicken!

How To Replace An Egg

For those with egg allergies, there are many ways to replace an egg in traditional baking recipes. The following are just some of the ideas that have been tried and proven to work:


1. 1/2 a banana, mashed. Add 25%-50% more baking powder then the recipe calls for

2. 1/4c applesauce. Add 25%-50% more baking powder than the recipe calls for

3. 1tbsp ground flax seed + 3tbsp warm water

4. 1 1/2 tsp Ener-G Egg Replacer + 2tbsp warm water 


I have also had good luck using Ener-G Egg Replacer as an egg wash.


If you have had any success with replacing eggs in baking with other products, please comment and let me know! I am always looking for ideas! 

The Inspiration

Hey Readers! Six months ago, my son was diagnosed with multiple food allergies. He is 9 months old and allergic to dairy, soy, eggs, and peanuts, as well as sensitive to wheat. He is still breastfed and I have changed my diet in order to accommodate for his allergies.

In our search for allergen friendly foods, we have made a lot of mistakes and many more experiments. The purpose of this blog is to share the recipes we've found that work!
