The following post is from Amy of Simply Sugar & Gluten-Free: 30 Allergy Friendly Back-to-School Snacks
I’m one of those moms who will bring a grass-fed, organic, nitrate-free hot dog to a play date because I feel better about my son eating real food or as close to real food as a hot dog can be. And I’ve found myself making gluten-free, dairy-free cupcakes and snacks late at night, so he’s got something safe, tasty, and nutritious when we’re at a birthday party.
I’ve quickly learned how important snacks are, even when we’re just around the house. Nate eats a little here and a little there. And, one day, he’ll happily eat Cinnamon Oat Brown Rice Crispy Treats, and the next day he throws them on the floor. When I have snack options for him, our days go better.
Nate’s not anywhere near school age, but school is right around the corner for so many families. If you’re new to allergy friendly food or if you’re a veteran, there are great recipes here for you to try. And I’ve sourced these recipes from some of my best friends, who also happen to be the best allergy friendly cooks around. You can put your apron on with confidence, knowing that these recipes will not only work for you, but they’ll be delicious as well.
Don’t dismiss these recipes for those who don’t need to eat an allergy-friendly diet! They’re packed with healthy ingredients, simple to make, and will have your kids asking for more.
