Non Dairy Tomato Soup

Non Dairy Tomato Soup

I found a classic milk-based recipe and converted it to non dairy tomato soup. Tomato soup evolves such strong positive emotions from my childhood.

However, we did throw in a few grilled peanut butter sandwiches along the way. Do you have a favorite food or foods that bring back positive memories of home? Not only did I convert to dairy-free but also gluten and oil-free.  You never know when you healthily a recipe if it will convert as well. I…

Liquid Soap, Harmless or Hazardous?

Not too long ago while visiting a relative’s house, I began to wash my hands with the liquid soap provided in the attractive dispenser.
