Ginger Molasses Cookies - Egg-free, Dairy-free and Nut-Free

As an 'okay' baker, I have challenged myself this holiday season to expand my baking and cooking skills.  I was absolutely thrilled with the results of my first experiment.  These cookies are egg-free, dairy-free, nut-free and pretty tasty, if I must say so myself.  This IS based on the speed at which they disappeared.

Allergies, Intolerances and Braces - Enjoying Being Together During the Holidays

Holiday Fun With Allergies - S.A.F.E. Tips

Looking for a GREAT tasting Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Parve Granola? You Won't Be Able to Get Enough of This One

Jessica's Natural Foods Review from S.A.F.E.
I don't have much to say except that everyone will LOVE this hand-crafted granola!  The fact that it's gluten-free, kosher and parve (dairy-free) is just a bonus!  I'm NOT kidding.  Whether added to your yogurt, ice cream or munched on its own, this stuff is delicious!  And I'm NOT even gluten-free.

I had a taste testing with a group of NON gluten-free, dairy-free moms and they ALL loved one particular blend or another.  We sampled 6 different products, and I was amazed at how they appealed to each of us for different reasons.

So Delicious Coconut Milk Dessert Pints - A Great Dairy-Free Alternative

A few weeks ago, I was one of the lucky Moms Meet Ambassador to be selected to sample products from So Delicious Dairy Free with my local mom's group.  Although this company's main claim to fame is being dairy-free and gluten-free, I was thrilled they are egg-free and nut-free too, meaning my kids could also enjoy this treat in the future.

The Food Allergy Blogger's Conference I attended last weekend has impacted me profoundly in many ways, more of which I will share in another blog.  However, today, as I sit on airplane heading thousands of miles away from home and leaving my food allergy kids behind, I want to say:


THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR COMMUNITY FRIENDS AND FAMILY 
WHO MAKE LIVING WITH FOOD ALLERGIES ACCEPTABLE
