Single and Food Allergy Friendly in San Francisco.

Welcome to L's Kitchen!

My name is L and I'm a born and raised Minnesotan now living in San Francisco. The reason I started this blog is because I was recently diagnosed with multiple food intolerances and allergies. Like anyone who suddenly gets this news, it's a mixed sense of relief, and what the hell do I do now?

I used to be the self-proclaimed worst cook ever. But out of necessity, I learned since I have so much trouble eating out. The point of this site is for dummies like myself to learn how to make and find allergen-free food in the easiest, most accessible way possible. Or even for those who do it well to get a couple ideas. Because seriously, cooking for yourself and eating foods that don't make you sick doesn't have to suck. It can be fun and delicious, I swear.

As much as I love all the Gluten-Free and Vegan blogs out there, as far as I've found, they are cooking for their families. Which is awesome because I couldn't have gotten started eating right without them, but is always way too much food for a single city gal to consume! So the focus of this blog lies in the coveted single-serving and the endless search for TAKE-OUT.

Here's where you come in. Something I'm huge of is substitutions. Have any great ideas for substitutions for something you are allergic to? Let me know if you come up with something cool, and I'll post it. Or even if you discover any products that rocket you out of your socks. Just e-mail me at LWStenmoe(at)gmail(dot)com. And make sure you comment if you change a recipe to omit an allergen, I'm sure others will want to know! We food-allergy sufferers got to stick together, you know?

You can do this, I believe in you!

xoxo,
L

PS: Here are the major foods that you will NEVER see on this site:

  • Dairy

  • Eggs

  • Shrimp

  • Red Peppers

  • Grapes (Wine)

  • Pineapple

  • Brewer's Yeast

  • Brown Rice

  • Buckwheat

  • Ginger

  • Turmeric

I eat gluten-free most of the time as well, so I will try to incorporate that as much as possible. But, since I only have a mild intolerance and can eat it sometimes without issue, it may show up here. But no worries, it will be clearly labeled as being contaminated with gluten. *^_^*

Also, you might notice that I put a lot of salt in my food. I know a lot of people are trying to cut back on their sodium intake but for me, it's a medical necessity that I consume a high-salt diet. If you have a condition that requires less salt, please adjust accordingly.
