Welcome back to another week of Allergy Free Wednesdays! A collection of yumminess that is aimed at making it easier for you to create healthy, allergy free foods for you and your family. There is no “clear rule” against including processed ingredients in your submission (but we hope you are moving in that direction 
). So…occasionally you will find some “whole foodie undesirables” in the entries. What to do if you see processed foods and don’t want them?:
- White or brown sugar? Sub in sucanat, or honey or an acceptable sugar free sweetener. Get help subbing in my post on Substituting Sweeteners in Baking and Cooking
- Chocolate Chips? Sub in my Homemade Chocolate / Carob Chips (new & improved version coming soon!)
- Others? Don’t think you’ll find many, but ask away if need be. (There was an entry in a previous AFW of a cake that looked incredible, but used PB cups – I have a great healthy sub for that – Healthy “Almost Reese’s!“)
So—-welcome to Allergy-Free Wednesdays (AFW). AFW is a weekly blog hop where folks can share their allergy-free cuisine, gain knowledge about allergy-related topics/issues, and connect with others living or caring for someone with food allergies. Your weekly submissions will be shared on 7 blogs! Additionally, eachhostess will feature a favorite recipe(s) from the week before. Please visit each blog to see their features! Your hostesses are:
- Tessa @ Tessa the Domestic Diva
- Laura @ Gluten Free Pantry
- Nancy @ Real Food Allergy Free
- Amber @ The Tasty Alternative
- Michelle @ The Willing Cook,
- Janelle @ Gluten Freely Frugal
- and–Me .
Wondering What You Can Link Up on Allergy Free Wednesday?
My Favorites from Last Week (with substitution ideas)~
Bounty Dream Bonbons from Superfood Mama
What yummy candies! I would use a candida-friendly sweetener like xylitol and/stevia, but no other changes are needed! You could use coconut oil for the cocoa butter (like I shared in my two versions of my Homemade Chocolate / Carob Chips) but they won’t hold together as well in warm weather. Something tells me they won’t last that long !
Rosemary Chickpea Oat Flatbread from Non-Dairy Queen
I would sub my Homemade Egg Replacer, or other substitute, for the egg whites since my son is anaphylactics. Otherwise, I might soak the flours overnight since oats are super high in phytates. But this looks great!!
and finally,
Spiced Coconut Flour Biscuits from Empowered Sustenance
I’d sub in a candida-friendly sweetener (like xylitol and/or stevia) and an egg sub like Homemade Egg Replacer, etc. Can’t wait to try these!!
and Readers’ Favorite
From this week on we’re going to save a little time by just featuring the top readers’ favorite.
GF German Chocolate Cake with DF Topping from Gluten-Free Flavor-Full
This one is heavy on the processed ingredients, so….I would try to go with
1. More or all whole grains (might be a little heavy, but I can handle it for health’s sake :-!)
2. Candida Friendly Sweetener (see Substituting Sweeteners for Cooking and Baking)
3. Powdered Egg Replacer for the cake
4. Another nut (those life-threatening allergies again). Most likely chopped almonds to give it a similar texture.
My youngest is drooling over this frosting so I might just have to try this one too!
I can’t wait to see what you all have this week!
Thanks for hosting! Today I shared Galicky Green Beans and Tuna & Pea Salad.
Have a great week!
