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!

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!

One of the best ways to enjoy the holiday is having the Switch Witch come to your house! Now the Switch Witch is a special lady who turns all those unsafe candies and treats into anything that is safe for your family. Be it stuffed animals, building toys, or specially designed cookies!

Here is how to create your own Switch Witch in cookie form.

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 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!

The thing with allergy friendly recipes is that they never quite feel or taste like the original items they are trying to mimic but this new and improved “cream cheese” frosting I think gets as close as possible. This frosting can even be piped!

When it comes to macaroons there’s a million ways to make them but it all starts with coconut. Coconut is the foundation for these tasty cookies that are a Passover staple. Most require merengue which is a hard thing to substitute because the flavor and texture is usually altered yet I found a way to completely avoid it all together! All you need is three ingredients and less than a half an hour to make these.

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!

Four years ago we went to our allergist for a very simple food challenge and my Cecelia being my Cecelia things were not easy or straight forward. To put it mildly she failed that food challenge and trying another one with her allergies were not recommended. We have learned so much since that episode and because of that we are so proud to say she has not had a single episode of hives or reactions since that day.

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!

Today I am back and not only did this version of gingerbread cutout cookies came out a million times better than my original attempt but you would have no idea they were top eight allergen free! I’m so glad I can share this brand new recipe that is a true winner and simple to create.

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!

It sounds impossible but it’s true I have found a cream cheese that is not only dairy free but top eight allergen free that tastes really good!

This recipe is dedicated to my Nana. She passed away this week and was the matriarch of the family who also had a knack for baking. She was the original artist who painted huge watercolors that were not only beautiful but full of life.

One of her favorite treats was chocolate. If it had chocolate in it she was a fan. So with this time of year it was appropriate to not only make a pumpkin treat but have it mixed with chocolate because Nana loved it so much. This recipe is a no bake and takes less than fifteen minutes from start to finish.
