Cookie Dough Cups by the Dozen
Peanut butter cups are a staple in most grocery stores and homes around the world but when you have allergies they may look good but they are a big no no. But that doesn’t mean chocolate cups are out of the question.
The best way to not have someone miss something is to replace it with something that looks even better than the original and these allergen free chocolate chip cookie cups are exactly that!
Shake and Surprise Cookies
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.

Salted Caramel pumpkin cups
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!
Butterscotch pudding with a twist
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.
Cinnamon Zucchini Muffins
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.
Granola your way
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!
Have a Heart and a Whoopie Pie
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!
One Ingredient Caramel Sauce
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…
Marshmallow Treats sprinkled with fun
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…
The Good, The Bad, The Babkah
This will be a quick post about my first attempt at babkah. Let’s just say it wasn’t a complete fail but it also wasn’t a win either.
Pinwheel cookies
What’s better than a cutout sugar cookie? A cute pinwheel cookie because it’s both vanilla and chocolate! It takes my simple cut out sugar cookie and adds another delicious element and design. Either way they are delicious!
Black and White… Cookies
When I was growing up I remember always having these cake-y cookies whenever we had extended family get togethers. Usually they were held at my grandparents house on the North Shore and one of the family would pick up Black and Whites from a Jewish deli/bakery near Boston. I didn’t know they were called Black and White Cookies until after college and that they aren’t a Jewish thing but a New York staple!
BB Treats
This treat is a combo of two of my favorite desserts I have created over the years. My Cecelia named them BB Treats- Blondies and Brownies together. They are decadent and truly addicting! The only hard part about making them is waiting for them to cool while they make the whole house smell so good.
Nostalgic Rice Pudding
With this whole social distancing all I want are comfort foods or foods I grew up loving. One of those desserts is rice pudding. I don’t know about you but there is something so warm and inviting, eating something so rich and creamy.
Linzer Cookies that taste Even better than they look!
Linzer cookies are something that I remember eating in my grandparents’ kitchen as a child. They always seemed to have tins of cookies and Linzer cookies were one of my favorites with that delicious combo of raspberry jam and buttery cookies.
Food restrictions and food allergies during the pandemic
As we are going into our fifth week of social distancing we are starting to get into a rhythm. We have virtual schooling, messaging and video calling friends, lots of outside time when the weather is favorable. Yet our meals have been mostly normal except our poor Cecelia had a nasty accident on the school playground right before schools were shut down…
Forbidden Brownies
These brownies should be illegal because not only are they fudgy, chocolatey, but also vegan top ten (yes you heard that right!) allergen free.
Simply the Best Vegan Vanilla Cupcakes
When you think of vegan cupcakes most people think chocolate. This is because most vanilla cupcakes just aren’t quite right when you change or substitute an ingredient. It’s either too dry, flavorless, or grainy. In other words, it’s not great, so it’s not worth eating. Well that is a thing of the past
