Allergy Friendly Friday

(TGIAFF)

Look at this ginormous cauliflower that my son Monte picked yesterday on our field trip to Underwood Farm, in Moorpark, CA!  I can’t stop thinking about all the things I can make with it. Cream of Cauliflower Soup, Cauliflower au Gratin, Roasted Cauliflower…. the Thanksgiving side dish possibilities are endless.  This Allergy-Friendly Friday, it would be great if you all could post Thanksgiving themed recipes, if you have them.

I’m off to San Francisco in about 25 minutes for the first shoot for my new cookbook. So excited to share it with you as soon as I can!  It will be out November, 2012, but I’ll give you more info sooner than that, of course.

Sunday, I’ll be on the “Removing One Food and Finding Many Others” panel at the IFBC in Santa Monica, so come join us if you are around.

Check out this squash growing on the fence at my kids’ school!  Our edible schoolyard is really coming into fruition.  I love our “From the Ground Up!” program, and every year, I volunteer as the Garden Room Parent for both my kids’ classes.  It’s so exciting to see the kids weeding the beds, and digging in the dirt. Next month we’re putting in a worm farm. That should really get them enthused, don’t you think? (more…)

I am thrilled to see how many people are linking up their allergy-friendly recipes on Allergy Friendly Friday!  I knew you were all out there, and I am so happy that we are building a real community of Allergy Free food bloggers here. Keep ‘em coming!

With strawberry season in full blast, blueberry season beginning, and asparagus, and artichokes in full bloom, I think we should focus on Seasonal Farmers Market recipes this week.  Please link up your seasonal Allergy Free Farmers Market recipes or your Gluten Free Farmers Market recipes this week.  I too am focusing on fresh produce this month.  (Allergy-Free Hollandaise Sauce with Fresh Asparagus will be up on my  Food Allergy Recipe Challenge blog at Whole Living Daily on Tuesday, and see link below for my seasonal Allergy Free Strawberry Cupcakes).

Last week featured a whole lot of new bloggers!  Yay!  I noticed AFTER posting my last post about Sunflower Milk, (which will be followed next week by Sunflower Yogurt), that another blogger posted her lovely recipe for dairy-free yogurt on last week’s Allergy Friendly Friday.  So at the top of the list of featured recipes this week is:

Allergy Friendly Friday

(TGIAFF)

Uh oh, it’s Friday the 13th.  What do you have staged for today? I’m going to a Support our Schools rally, because the California Public Education Budget has been so drastically slashed that we’re in crisis.  I hope it goes well, given the looming bad luck date!  Luckily, there is another event on May 24, and Educate our State is hosting a virtual rally, so if you don’t feel like standing around chanting with sandwich boards, you can sign the petition online here.

But enough about the bummers.  Let’s talk about the thing we all come here for on Friday: FOOD!  First, I want to say, thank you to Ricki for her SOS challenge and sharing her carob cookie link. I am so excited that she’s featuring carob. People keep asking me what to do with my recipes if they’re allergic to chocolate. I am kind of a chocolate maniac. So I’ve been thinking a lot about carob, but haven’t ventured into its many facets yet. Thank you Ricki for the inspiration! So this week’s top featured recipes are:

Today is April 29th, the day I was supposed to be born.  (I was born 2 days early on April 27th).  But I still always think of April 29th as my supposed-to-be birthday.  In honor of birthdays, let’s post celebratory allergy-free recipes this week… anything you might want to make on somebody’s special day.   This could be anything from a special breakfast, to a festive lunch, to a dessert.  Anything is fair game! And if you’re not into that theme, then Cinco de Mayo is coming up next week, so what might you be making for that?

And speaking of festive recipes, last weeks lineup was chock-full of them.  Some real highlights were:

Have you seen my Gluten-Free Vegan Sweet Noodle Kugel recipe over at Whole Living Daily yet? Did you know I also blog over there, twice a month? This Kugel was hard won, and took many tries, but the final result had me wanting to sit down with a fork and eat the whole casserole. (Oh, wait, I did)

And what about my Allergy-Free Brisket Tsimmes recipe over at Foodista?  Yes, I also blog over there, once a month! Oy veh! Whether or not you are celebrating Passover, this recipe is a must try.

But enough about my recipes, let’s talk about yours!

Last week’s Allergy Friendly Friday had some awe-inspiring recipes links.  Some of the top highlights were:

Please add your links for this week. Please link back to this post so you can share both your own and other’s fabulous allergy-friendly recipes.

First, the updates. Last weekend, I taught an allergy-free baking class at the FAAN conference in Baltimore, and was thrilled to see a packed house, and so many enthusiastic new allergen-free cooks. The Q & A was fantastic, and I had a blast demoing the alchemy of baking without gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, tree nuts and peanuts.

For those of you in the Chicago area, I encourage you to come take my class “Comfort Foods to Warm Your Soul” where I’ll teach you how to make an allergen-free cream sauce, homemade Mac n’ Cheese, and Red Velvet Cake, all top 8-Free and Gluten-Free.  My class is on Saturday, April 30th, from 3-4, at the Gluten & Allergen-Free Expo. I will also be signing copies of my Allergen-Free Baker’s Handbook both Saturday and Sunday at the Vendor Fair, for the slamming  price of only $15! This is $10 dollars LESS than in stores, and even cheaper than Amazon, because you don’t have to pay shipping.

THANK GOD IT’S ALLERGY FRIENDLY FRIDAY

(TGIAFF)

Happy April Fools Day, and Happy Allergy Friendly Friday!  The first day of April has always felt like the true beginning of spring to me.  I love spring, it’s my favorite season. It’s all about beginnings. The budding leaves are that “new” shade of green, and crocuses and daffodils make me grin.

In honor of spring having sprung, let’s devote Allergy Friendly Friday this week to spring recipes.  Anything having to do with spring, whether it’s Easter and Passover recipes, or ways to incorporate the lovely local strawberries that are starting to pop up at the farmers market.  Your recipe can represent whatever spring means to you, Allergy-Free.

And remember, I specialize in creating gluten-free recipes that are free of the top 8 food allergens, but yours don’t have to be. They just have to be allergy-friendly in SOME way.

THANK GOD IT’S ALLERGY-FRIENDLY FRIDAY, AGAIN!

(TGIAFF)

Last Friday, we kicked off Allergy Friendly Friday with a bang! I was delighted by how many links were shared, and really excited to see how many people are doing allergy-friendly blogging!

It’s great to find new recipes,  hear your stories, and tips for cooking allergy-free.  For those of us on restricted diets, coming up with new inspiration day in and day out, can be a daunting task. So, thank you all for sharing your lovely links here. I encourage you to do so as often as you like. And remember, I specialize in creating gluten-free recipes that are free of the top 8 food allergens, but yours don’t have to be. They just have to be allergy-friendly in SOME way.

All the recipes from last Friday were outstanding. They were all highlights!  A few of the recipes I’ll be trying out first are:
