Welcome back to another week of Allergy Free Wednesdays!
A week of yumminess that is aimed at making it easier for you to create healthy, allergy free foods for you and your family.
As I mentioned, this past week, 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. (I see an entry this week for a cake that looks incredible but uses 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, each hostess 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)~
Grain Free Granola Bars from Seasonal Family
We’re not eating much dried fruits these days, so I might try some without and/or try my sugar free cranberries !
And I might add a few of my Homemade Chocolate Chips, of course. Yum!!
Spicy Chickpea Crackers from Tasty Yummies.
I would probably go all out and de-gas my beans and then dry them and make my own flour (much healthier that way), but otherwise,
this is a great recipe!!
and finally, from another Allergy Free Wednesday hostess, these delectable
Chocolate Tarts from The Tasty Alternative
I would have to substitute a different nut due to allergies, and might have to find a date substitute, but I am so willing to try!
Occasionally I will splurge and try something this beautiful!
and Readers’ Favorites
Chocolate Coconut Bites from Good Girl Gone Green
Sub in whatever nuts you can have. I’d be subbing the dates. But these look great! You all have great taste!
Peanut Butter Popcorn Cupcakes by Yummy Inspirations
I think I’d try these with all popcorn, a homemade sugar free syrup, and another nut.
Sigh. Lots of subs here. But my Nut Buttery Popcorn with added nuts in a fun shape might just work!
Honey Chicken Nuggets from Yummy Inspirations again. Double Billing !
I’d use a different candida-friendly sweetener and gluten free breadcrumbs. Maybe my Quick GF Biscuits broken up.
I can’t wait to see what you all have this week!
thanks for hosting! this week, i shared my Tasty Thai Flatbreads w/ GF Cauliflower Crust! It’s Gluten Free, Vegan and Body Ecology Diet friendly! I also shared my Mini Zucchini Timbale! They’re also Gluten Free, Vegan, and Body Ecology Diet friendly!

Hi Adrienne,
Awe, you’re so sweet to feature my chocolate tarts! My hubby loved them for Father’s Day. Let me know how the subs turn out for you.
Thanks again for the love!

Thanks for hosting! I shared a recipe for coconut candy and a story about skunk cabbage foraging.

Have linked up Coconut Hot Chocolate and Egg & Yoghurt Spread this week, which I made from farm fresh eggs from a trip to the country with my two young boys. Looking forward to reading through the other submissions.

Aww, thank you so much for featuring my granola bar recipe! I do hope you enjoy them, they are easy to work with and to play around with substitutions.
You’re so welcome!! Your photos are really wonderful. You’ve got a lot of talent. Blessings!
You keep saying that you would sub the dates…what is it that you would sub with?
Thanks
Good question. It’s hard to sub dates and I’m working on it. I’m thinking chia and sweetener (got that idea from Ricki at Diet Dessert n Dogs), sweet potato and sweetener….or flax. Any ideas???
