Hilary’s Breakfast Cookup
Can I just start by saying how much I LOVE Hilary’s Eat Well? If you have food allergies, are vegan, corn free, top 8 free, diabetic, or low-histamine, this is a company you need to know all about. They have a wide range of products (and the ranch dressing is bomb dot com) for people to choose from. During the Food Allergy Awareness Expedition, we had the pleasure of visiting the Hilary’s factory and they gifted us so many products, including the Millet Medleys, which was new at the time.

Carrot Cake Ice Cream
There are so many days where I think I’m nothing short of a mad scientist. I love to ask myself, “I wonder if xyz would work…” and this time, it was carrot cake in ice cream form. Turns out, it does. Now, for those of you who may have a single allergy, such as eggs, feel free to start with a more traditional ice cream recipe, then add the items towards the bottom of the ingredient list that helps this ice cream stand apart.

No-Bake Cheesecakes ~ All The Details
No-Bake Cheesecakes are simply AWESOME. Please refer to this post before making cheesecakes. I’ve put together all the best information in one place for you.
First, Let’s Talk About Cream Cheese Options
When you’re dairy free, there aren’t a lot of options when it comes to cream cheese. If you’re big on homesteading, you can make it yourself. That would be the cleanest option. If you’re new to dairy free and have no idea where to being, you’re most likely looking to make a purchase. Below are the three leading brands of cream cheese available in most stores that cater to people with food allergies. However, be warned, they each come with strings attached. Read More
Allergy Friendly Maple Bacon No-Bake Cheesecake
Our kids LOVE bacon, and I can totally see where they’re coming from on that. If you’re vegan, there are several vegan bacon options. However, if you’re vegan with food allergies, you may need to make your own at home. All of the commercial options that I’ve been able to find each contain major allergens, especially coconut.

Allergy Friendly Lemon Saffron No-Bake Cheesecake
I have to share several things with you about this cheesecake. First, I love the color. It’s naturally a light golden-yellow… I just love how elegant it looks. During the creation of this cheesecake, we learned an important lesson – we don’t like saffron. Now, it could be the brand that I purchased, however, we weren’t enlightened like I thought we would be. As someone who has a dream of creating Michelin quality dishes, saffron is simply a must. I just knew that we would all somehow understand the world better, have this ah-ha moment, and just love saffron. With all the hype I had going into this, you can only imagine my let down. However, if you like saffron, you’ll love this recipe. You can also leave it out and go with Lemon Maple instead. Either way, the texture is good, and everyone still ate all of the cheesecakes (laughing emoji). What I did enjoy about this however – I crafted it with our Low/No Sugar kid in mind, and he really did enjoy it.

Allergy Friendly Purple Sweet Potato Mash
So mister Low/No Sugar had braces put on his teeth. With that in mind, I had to create all sorts of soft foods which were safe for him. In addition to his special “jello” and soup, he was also showered with sweet potatoes galore. There was also pudding and ice cream. And of course, his most favorite person in the world. Krysten (KrystensKitchen.com) brought him some very special Mickey Mouse gummies that she made. Read More
