Allergen Friendly Blooming Onion

Remember when I posted about my all purpose batter and I said you can make almost anything with it with just a little tweaking? Well, it strikes again. My mom loves blooming onions and I have tried multiple times failing hilariously. It’s a problem we all know too well- substitutes for gluten, dairy, and eggs… Continue reading Allergen Friendly Blooming Onion

Worry-Free French Toast Sticks

I am a sucker for French toast sticks- they are that perfect pairing of dippable and satisfying, and they are the ultimate indulgence food for my family’s breakfast for dinner nights. After adjusting our cooking style for allergies, though, my favorite box of frozen treats just wasn’t an option. Thankfully, I have been able to adjust… Continue reading Worry-Free French Toast Sticks

Old Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup

Carob Chip Cookies

So you made a big batch of carob bark and need something to do with it? Chocolate chip cookies without the chocolate is always a favorite in my house. While these usually come out uniform and pretty, my 3 year old insisted in helping on this one. He also refused to let me stir any of the batter, so… Continue reading Carob Chip Cookies

Chocolate Free Chocolate Bars (Carob Bark)

One of the hardest allergies to work with in this whole process has been my mom’s allergy to chocolate. My kids are dessert driven (aren’t they all) and they love to help bake sweets, but making an entire house smell like freshly baked cookies that not everyone can eat just seems cruel. Enter carob- the… Continue reading Chocolate Free Chocolate Bars (Carob Bark)

Swedish Meatballs

Meatballs are one of my kids’ favorites. Something about eating a food that looks like you could bounce it down the hallway if you didn’t eat it makes them irresistible. But meatballs to me always meant tomato sauce and noodles, so what do you do when you can’t eat tomatoes? Swedish meatballs, of course. Items you’ll need:… Continue reading Swedish Meatballs
