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Though I strive to update outdated information quickly and work diligently to make sure you have the most accurate information possible at all times, it is your duty to double check labels EVERY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.

Spring Fling, Blogger-Style!: Feature Day

~*Welcome to*~
TODAY is the FEATURE DAY of my Spring-filled link-up with Jo of Jo, My Gosh! where we each share our TOP 3 FAVES.  I only picked recipes to share because this is a food/allergy blog, after all, but Jo didn't adhere to such rules so if you weren't featured here, you might have been on her blog
 ~*~*~
To recap, here's what I've shared with you this week:
  1. Sean's Banana Berry Birthday Smoothie (Soy, Wheat, Nut, Fish and Egg-Free, Can Be Milk-Free)
     
  2. Super Simple Roasted Asparagus (Soy, Wheat, Egg, Nut, Milk and Fish-Free)
     
  3. Beef and Barley Stew (Soy, Nut, Fish, Egg and Wheat-Free, Can Be Milk-Free)
     
  4. Mint Smoothie (Soy, Nut, Fish, Egg and Wheat-Free, Can Be Milk-Free and Diabetic Friendly)
     
  5. Strawberry Spinach Salad (Soy, Wheat, Egg, Fish and Milk-Free, Can Be Nut-Free)


~*~*~
Before I announce my TOP 3 FAVES, I want to say, "Thank you" to everyone who took the time to stop by, comment and/or link-up.  You all linked up some amazing crafts, posts and recipes, and we (quite literally) could not have done this without you!  Thanks for your participation, and I hope to see you all (and more) at link-ups in the future! :)
~*~*~
And now, in alphabetical order, are my TOP 3 FAVE recipes that were linked up this week:

What I love about these is that they are very allergy-friendly (top 8 free and then some), fun and festive!  Caroline even shared a link on how to make your own gelatin to make it even better for you and yours, too.  Bonus! :)

What I love about these are that they are easily adaptable to be free of all the top 8 allergens (use a soy-free, dairy free chocolate like Enjoy Life in the recipe, make sure all your ingredients are soy-free, and use one of the egg substitutions here for the eggs) and they are chocolate, fudge-y goodness!  Hello!  What's not to love?  Delish!

What I love about these is that they are top 8 free, strawberry and coconut (love that combo) and fit so many dietary needs.  Definitely a fun, easy recipe for spring and summer!  You could even add some Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips and have yourself that winning strawberry, coconut and chocolate combo.  YUM!  (Note: I do not label coconut as a tree nut, so if you are allergic to it or to all tree nuts, this recipe is not for you.)

    1. I am all for easy, kitchen challenged or not! :) I think it's great when everyone can do it, not just a gifted few. That's what I strive for, anyway. :)

      Thanks for stopping by!
