When you discovering that you have a corn allergy you began to realize that there certain foods that you have to give up, especially Marshmallows. We searched high and low, and found a great marshmallow recipe from the blog Top-8 Free.

Even those who don't have a corn allergy will agree this recipe is far superior than traditional marshmallow recipes and much healthier. ( yes, corn-syrup isn't good for you.) The Good Stuff rates this as: The Best Marshmallow recipe of all time.
Here's also another alternative for those who can't have cane sugar:

Saint's Super-Bowl Pizza
In Honor of the Saints wining Super -Bowl 44, I'm naming this years special dish, Saint's Super-Bowl pizza. Every Super-Bowl I try to cook something special and this year it's gluten/wheat/dairy/top-8 free pizza. This pizza is also low-cholesterol and vegetarian/vegan.
The crust recipe is from the book:
The Gluten-Free Vegan: 150 Delicious Gluten-Free, Animal-Free Recipes by Susan O'Brien, which can be purchased here.
Her recipe calls for Ener-G Egg Replacer which are made from soy. You can use flax seeds as a nice substitute:
Flax Seeds Egg Substitute:
1 Tablespoon flax seeds plus 3 Tablespoons water replaces one egg. Finely grind 1 tablespoon whole flaxseeds in a blender or coffee grinder, or use 2 1/2 tablespoons pre-ground flaxseeds. Transfer to a bowl and beat in 3 tablespoons of water using a whisk or fork. It will become very gooey and gelatinous, much like an egg white. In some recipes, you can leave the ground flax in the blender and add the other wet ingredients to it, thus saving you the extra step of the bowl.
If your not allergic to eggs, and want to lower the cholesterol just use egg whites, that works well too.
The pizza is topped with Red Pepper, Spinach, Artichoke hearts, and Mushrooms, and Onions.
