NOTICE

At the time of publication, all recipes were free of the allergens listed as being free of in the title (i.e. soy-free, milk-free, etc.), and all other information shared was accurate to the best of my knowledge.
Though I strive to update outdated information quickly and work diligently to make sure you have the most accurate information possible at all times, it is your duty to double check labels EVERY TIME to ensure that the ingredients you use are SAFE FOR YOU.
DO NOT RELY SOLELY ON THIS INFORMATION AS INGREDIENTS AND INFORMATION DO CHANGE.
Your doctor or allergist should also be your first go-to for information on how to handle your medical needs. That being said, if you DO notice an error, please send me an email letting me know (tell me what page or recipe the error is on, what the error is, etc.), and I will correct the error ASAP.
Thank you so much!

Please Be Advised:
I make sure all of my recipes use foods that are free of the allergens they say they are free of. You will need to do the same. For help with this, please see the appropriate "Alternative Names" page for the allergen(s) you need the recipe free of.

Now onto my TOP 5 FAVES!

Since this is a food/allergy blog, I picked recipes and/or allergy-friendly info (and trust me, it was STILL no easy task!) to feature, but I know that Stacey and Vanessa featured other things, too, so make sure you head over to their sites if you weren't featured here because you may have been there!
Anyway, here are my faves, in no particular order:
submitted by Heidi of One Creative Mommy
I love this post because it shows you how to make shaped pancakes so easily!   I have never been able to get this art down, but I think I will be able to now! :)  Besides that, you can use any pancake mix (homemade or otherwise) you want, so you can use one that fits your allergen needs.  Win-win!


submitted by Camille of Growing Up Gabel
I love these for a few reasons: 1) I love chocolate. 2) They sound super easy. 3) They can be egg, wheat, fish, soy and nut-free!  Sounds good to me!


submitted by Pamela of Pamela's Heavenly Treats
I love these because they sounds so easy to make and like melt-in-your-mouth goodness!  Not only that, but they can be milk (by subbing a non-dairy butter), soy (if you use salted, full-fat butter instead of unsalted), fish, nut and egg-free!  You could leave out the food coloring, too, if you were worried about the dye or needed them dye-free.  Totally awesome!


submitted by Devin of Nom Yum and Free
 
I love these because they are top 8 free and corn-free!  They also use a dye-free colored sugar vs. artificially colored sugar.  Bonus!  Don't they just look yummy!?!

submitted by Caroline of Grateful Foodie
I love this because it is some seriously valuable info!  Not only is there some great tips on helping keeping your holiday allergy-free (especially in the classroom), but also some links to allergy-friendly Valentine's ideas.  Awesome stuff!
Thank you all so much for participating and
congratulations on your features!

  1. My husband is the pancake master at my house. He makes us each a pancake in the shape of the first initials of our names every time he makes them. No lie! I bet I could get him to make us the heart-shaped pancakes!!

  3. I'm so excited I found your blog! My 13 month old son is allergic to wheat, milk, &eggs and it can be overwhelming to try to feed him! Thank you so much for doing this. You are a special person! Bless you. :)

    1. You are so welcome, Rachael! Your are exactly the person I write this for! There's a lot of blogs on my reading list below and on the Gluten-Free page that may be of help to you, too. I find that quite a few allergy bloggers cover multiple allergies in some form.

      If I can be of help to you at all, Rachael, do not hesitate to send me an email! I'm more than willing to assist in any way that I can!

      Have a great Sunday! :)
