“The Best” Grain Free Chocolate Chips Cookies, Double Chocolate Biscotti, Quinoa Vegan Past, Chili Fries and More

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:

Wondering What You Can Link Up on Allergy Free Wednesday?

Basically anything that is fitting for an allergy free diet in some way (we’re not that strict).

Every week I write my own substutions for the week’d favorites to help you along a bit.

Here goes – starting off with my favorites–and you should check out the other hostesses’ posts to see if you were featured there!

My Favorites from Last Week (with substitution ideas)~

Chili Cheese “Fries” from Food and Yoga for Life
Really no need for subs here. What a great idea for fries!

Quinoa Shell Pasta with White Garlic Jalepeno Sauce (gluten free and vegan) from Vegan Richa
Again, no need for subs here. Just use the nut or seed of your choice.
I just did some research on nutritional yeast this week and think it’s a fine option for dairy free folks so I’m buying some tomorrow with our monthly co-op that I run. Excited to have it in our home again. Do you use it?

and finally,

Gluten-Free Double Chocolate Biscotti from Pure and Peanut-Free
I’d use my Homemade Chocolate / Carob Chips and a candida-diet-friendly sweetener.
And likely carob instead of the cocoa. Trying to get away from stimulants, you know?

and Readers’ Favorite

The Best Vegan and Grain-Free Chocolate Chip Cookies from Waldorf (Inspired) Moms
I featured these last week. They look great.
I’d use my Homemade Chocolate / Carob Chips and a candida-diet-friendly sweetener.
