Pumpkin bread season is a lousy time to discover that a butter swap changes the texture and flavor of your favorite recipe.

If dairy is off your menu, I’ve put together a guide to butter substitutes, including which options work best for different baked goods.

I already read enough labels at the grocery store. I’d rather not need smelling salts when I see the total, too.

That’s why I put together 30 budget-friendly protein options for an alpha-gal diet. If getting enough alpha-gal friendly protein feels expensive, this list can help you find more options.

When I was diagnosed with alpha-gal, I could have used a little more guidance than “stop eating red meat.”

What about restaurants? Hidden ingredients? Getting enough protein?

I’ve shared 10 lessons from living with alpha-gal, including things I wish I’d known sooner.

If you’re still finding your footing, I hope they make the adjustment a little easier.

What would you add to the list?

If you love pumpkin spice but have approximately zero time to make breakfast, you'll want to make this alpha-gal friendly recipe tonight! 🎃

These pumpkin pie overnight oats are cool, creamy, and lightly sweetened with maple syrup. I mix them before bed, then add something crunchy in the morning.

Full recipe:

October is only halfway over, but your meal ideas might already be on repeat.

You don’t have to wait until next month to make figuring out what to eat a little easier.

AlphaGal30 is my alpha-gal friendly meal plan with 30 mammal-free recipes for breakfast, lunch, snacks, and dinner. The October issue pairs fall flavors with meals that fit busy weekdays, including pumpkin spice protein pancakes, turkey burger salad bowls, and sheet-pan shrimp fajitas.

You’ll also find a weekday plan you can follow or rearrange, ingredient swaps, budget tips, and meal-prep suggestions.

Start with next week or pick a few meals that sound good. There’s no catching up required. It’s a meal plan, not a missed homework assignment.

The Alpha-gal Allergen Inclusion Act (H.R. 1178) and its Senate companion bill S.5498 would add alpha-gal to the definition of major food allergens disclosed on labels, the way milk, eggs, and peanuts are already disclosed.

The current Congress has only a few weeks of work left after the election. This is the last chance for the Alpha-gal Allergen Inclusion Act to pass before this Congress ends.

These cranberry jalapeño meatballs are made with chicken instead of beef or pork. The dried cranberries add sweetness, the jalapeños bring a little heat, and they taste good without needing a sauce. I like making a double or triple batch and freezing the cooked extras for later.

Here's the recipe:

Cranberry jalapeno meatballs mix chicken sausage, dried cranberries, and fresh peppers. Broil about 40 for a party, or freeze some for later.
