About me:

Hi, My name is Dia, and I am a brain surgery survivor many times over. I have been diagnosed over the years with, in addition to my hydrocephalus and other csf disorders, inflammatory arthritis, brain stem kink, cerebellum sagging, enlarged liver and spleen and soooo much more! I truly feel that I have been sustained all of these what I consider to be my "extra years" because I changed my diet dramatically.
When I cut out all meat and poultry I was in a wheelchair because of severe spasticity. I am no longer in a wheelchair. Of course I cannot prove the change in diet helped me, but I know that it did.
I also started the gluten free diet around a year later, and it has helped immensely with my inflammatory conditions. If you are looking for a way to create comfort foods that you love, but are starting a new diet whether it be the vegan, vegetarian, gluten or wheat free diet, you will be able to find ways to recreate those yummy meals you grew up loving here on Cooking With Dia!

Dia’s Gluten Free & Vegan Double Chocolate Chip Cookies

Wednesday, January 28th, 2009

These chocolate cookies turned out fantastic and quite large! I even feel making them vegan makes them taste better than my usual cookies. These aren’t fat free by any means, so prepare for an evening of overindulgence and bake away!

Dia’s Gluten Free & Vegan Banana and Chocolate Chip Muffins

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

Last night I baked my first set of vegan muffins. That’s right eggless muffins, I thought they would just crumble apart, but they turned out to be the perfect consistency and bound well. They tasted delicious, and it is hard to taste the difference between these and my old muffin recipe.

Spaghetti with Chickpea Bolognese

Sunday, January 18th, 2009

My mom was telling me yesterday how my dad would make me buttered spaghetti with chickpeas mixed through when I was little, and she told me that I used to love chickpeas. I can’t remember any of this, and I thought I only started eating chickpeas in 2004. That’s what happens when you have brain surgery after brain surgery I guess.

Anyway, I decided to make this dish to see if it would jog any memories–it didn’t, but it tasted great!

Dia’s Yorkshire Pudding Muffins

Here is a quick little recipe that you can either make for breakfast to replace pancakes or for dessert after a nice roast. One of the things I instantly fell in love with when I came to the UK, was Yorkshire Pudding. These muffins are a nice version.
