The last day of our vacation, Ashley wanted to host a potluck as a sort of house warming and settling in celebration. All of her family was invited and it made for a fun night of stories and food.
Ashley's father and his wife were on a special diet that prohibited dairy, corn, sugar, egg, gluten, and soy. It made for a fun challenge and forced me to come up with some creative dishes that I will share over the next couple of days.
I made all the dishes that we included able to be eaten by anyone; or so I thought. Apparently the sugar-free cashews I made for dessert were not part of the diet due to maple syrup. I was disappointed but I did the best I could with what I knew.
I made pan fried spring rolls with a soy-free "soy" sauce, falafel with a cucumber tahini sauce, Ashley and Kaleigh made cole slaw and a new video, and Ashley and I tag-teamed a spaghetti squash and pesto.
There was a ridiculous amount of food on the spread and Kaleigh orchestrated a few weird games for everyone to play. For me, it was a fun day of cooking and relaxing after some hard hiking with the family.
Beautiful meal. Looking forward to trying your mushroom "soy" sauce. Glad to have it as an alternative.
