Many times the allergy kids or family miss out but not this time. These super simple shaker or surprise cookies are sugar cookies that have a surprise layer of sprinkles that make great noise when gently shaken.

Now that there’s a chill in the air and Halloween is behind us the real holiday season begins. The classic flavors for me are gingerbread, chocolate, and peppermint!

When I think winter I immediately think peppermint discs but they’re usually filled with soy, milk, and egg but this recipe is super simple to make and, of course, top 8 free!

Here is the last installment of Halloween cookie decorating tutorials this year. I hope you have had as much fun as I did! And because it’s the end I am showing you how to make two types of cookies.

It being Halloween this week pumpkins are on my mind and even if you don’t like the flavor, pumpkin shaped cookies will bring a smile to anyone’s face.

Here’s the quick tutorial to create your own!

With October right around the corner Fall is in full swing. The weather here in Massachusetts is starting to get a bit chilly but can still be warm by mid afternoon. These are the days I love to bake but sometimes I don’t want to put in all the time waiting for something to finish baking and cooling so here’s a recipe that has all the Fall feels without the waiting and baking!

Have you ever had an idea in your head that you just became obsessed with? Well sometimes that happens to me with flavors and recipes. This week I was craving butterscotch pudding but none were available that were completely top eight free.

I decided I needed to create my own that was easy, simple and tasted delightful.

Peach season is about a month long and with that means I am in the mood for some fresh donuts! Well any season is the right time for donuts but that’s not just me right?

This recipe is quick and easy and makes an even dozen of peachy deliciousness.

Have you ever had something in the back of the fridge or pantry that you swore you were going to enjoy and then just forgot about? Well I found half of bag of dried dates in the fridge and knew they could be forgotten no longer.

So date pinwheel cookies were just the perfect treat to make!

It’s summertime here and that means so many fruits and vegetables that are in season. With all these fresh options available I thought I needed to add some more veggies into my diet in muffin form so cinnamon zucchini muffins seemed like the perfect combination.

Wow that’s a mouthful! But don’t worry it’ll be well worth it when this is baking in the oven making your house fill with the smells of cinnamon and blueberry! It’s summer here and that means berry season is in full swing and with the heat coming on strong baking is something that might not be a top priority but this recipe makes quite a large amount so there might even be enough for some leftovers the next day!

Many times with food allergies you want a quick go to snack, breakfast, etc that is healthy yet satisfies that need for a crunchy treat. This granola checks off all that and more!

With Valentines Day quickly upon us I decided to revisit my most popular recipe- whoopie pies and add even more love to them. It being the holiday of love red velvet was an easy decision!

Now if you don’t know what a madeleine is I can only describe them as shell shaped buttery clouds that melt in your mouth!

They really are so easy to make and well worth the cost of the pan necessary to make them. This recipe has all the French culinary goodness without any of the allergens! So without further ado here is the steps necessary for madeleines!

It’s holiday time and with that most people think of decorated gingerbread to eat and share. And with top 8 free cookies these can easily be made with all the holiday magic we can bring to the table. Here’s a quick tutorial on how to turn these delicious gingerbread people into adorable reindeer!

With winter fast approaching that means apple cider and pumpkin fade into peppermint and gingerbread. Being an allergy family that means another season smelling all the yummy delicious things without actually being able to touch or taste them.

Here’s a quick and simple recipe to get your gingerbread fix in a cupcake!

Autumn is in it’s full splendor here in New England so apple and pumpkin season are here! Having two of my favorite food seasons overlap which is fine by me because they are so much fun to make special recipes with.

So coming up with a new pumpkin recipe seemed very appropriate…

Have you ever looked at a recipe and get super excited about it but then realize you’re missing one ingredient? Of course no store bought option is safe, so you have to spend twice as long researching and collecting more ingredients to make just one little part of the original recipe…

Well this has been an interesting year to say the least and we are not yet finished but we are trying our best to get back into a routine now that school is less than a week away.

Everything looks different this year.

Most people have had rice crispy treats at some point in their lives. The heavenly crunch of the cereal with the sticky sweet marshmallows combined in a perfect blend. But if gluten, dairy, or nuts aren’t safe then these treats are less than ideal. Well wait no more…
