A nut-free Valentine's Day

L got a special delivery from here!

L was excited to receive his nut-free skippers, which are basically M&Ms, his granola bar and chocolate lollipop.

In case you are wondering, we do eat fruit too! It's just fruit and veggies come naturally nut-free:)

So Delicious Allergen-Free Ice Cream

Have you tried this? L gives it 2 thumbs up!

Allergen Friendly Chocolate Chip Cookies

I think these cookies are so yummy! And so do my boys and my taste testers. Taste testers that do not have food allergies!

I used shortening in place of the dairy-free margarine. I have heard dair-free margarine exists, but I have not found it yet! I also used Kroger Brand Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips, which do contain some dairy. I left some without chocolate chips for B. L only eats one cookie at a time and the few chips don't seem to bother him. Our allergist is comfortable with this plan for L. Each person with food allergies needs there own plan:)

Enjoy these YUMMY Cookies!

Pumpkin Muffins

Recently I made some pumpkin muffins that are dairy, egg and nut free.

I used this recipe. I used Libby's Pumpkin Pie filling for the canned pumpkin and all the spices. I did this to avoid using my spices...since they are McCormick I did not add the optional nuts and raisins. I used Canola Oil and Ener-G Egg Replacer I made them into muffins, or as L calls them "cupcakes", for easy freezing and storing. We have been using them as treats for the boys.

I added a few semi-sweet chocolate chips to some of the muffins. They do contain some milk. But, L seems to tolerate a little milk...not much, but a little! I froze the chocolate chip muffins in there own bag. This recipe makes a lot!

You can use Vegatable oil is place of Canola Oil. I did not because B was recently diagnosed with Sesame Seed Allergy, which can be found in some Vegatable Oils. This is only from blood work and not skin testing. We are just going to avoid sesame seed for now. I now have found some safe Vegatable Oils.

ENJOY!
