Since we discovered Ashley’s soy intolerance, we’ve been baking more desserts from scratch at home. It is surprisingly easy! After you assemble the ingredients, it really isn’t any harder than making a boxed cake mix.
Read MoreHere at Beyond Soy we love quick and easy soy-free meals. We often have busy evenings, and usually don’t want to spend too much of our free time making dinner. At the same time, we want a dinner that is healthy and relatively inexpensive. One of our favorite meals in the summer is a chef salad. It’s quick, easy, and light for a warm summer evening.
Read MoreAs we've previously talked about, both Ashley and I love pizza. A couple of years ago we started experimenting with making our own. Through our experience of some good pizzas (and some bad pizzas) we've found that the cheese, sauce, and toppings are pretty straightforward. The secret to good homemade pizza is in the crust. A good crust that is soft, yet slightly crispy on the outside really brings the whole thing together.
Read MoreSince the weather is cold and snowy, it is time to make one of my favorite winter meals: chili and cornbread!
Chili is a great cold-weather food that is easy to make and easily soy-free. Our favorite chili recipe comes from the McCormick seasoning packet. We pair it with cornbread muffins (which we make from a box for convenience), for a quick, easy, hot meal in the cold winter weather.
Read MoreHello! Welcome to Beyond Soy!
As part of being a resource for soy-free eating, we are going to post some of the recipes we use and the foods we eat that are soy-free. We’ll start with an deliciously easy one: Brussels Sprouts.
I love Brussels Sprouts. There, I said it. I like the "vegetable for adults" that always seems to get a bad rap ("Brussels sprouts... Ewww!"). I guess that means that I really am an adult. (It's worth noting here that Ashley isn't that fond of Brussels Sprouts; thankfully, she tolerates them for me.) The best part about them? Brussels Sprouts are soy-free!
My favorite way to cook Brussels Sprouts is in the oven. These are easy to whip up and throw in the oven while cooking the rest of dinner, and come out tasting great!
What you’ll need:
What to do:
They come out just barely crunchy on the outside and soft, almost melting-in-your-mouth on the inside.
Enjoy!
How far should airlines go to accommodate a food allergy, intolerance, or sensitivity? Are they obligated to provide options or even tell you in advance what ingredients are?
The Emerald Isle is one of the most popular international travel destinations for US travelers. As a result, Ireland is easy to navigate and has adventures waiting around every bend. An added bonus: Ireland is great with food allergies!
