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)~
Coconut Candy from Traditional Foods
I’d substitute a different nut butter & nut…most likely Homemade Almond Butter and almonds (make sure you get them without engine fuel, right –
Remember they are 10% off right now with CODE WNM. These are really great almonds!)…
And I would use my Homemade Chocolate Chips, of course. Yum!!
Vegan Cream Cheese from Cuter than Gluten.
I would use a different nut since my son’s allergic to cashews. Macadamias work great for this kind of thing.
If you don’t mind a darker “cheese” then almonds would do as well!
Can’t wait to try this! I tried a vegan cream cheese recently and it was pretty good so this will be Take II!
and finally,
Plate-Licking Chinese Green Beans from Whole Intentions
My son picked this out! Really. He loves green beans and Asian food. Interestingly, he has tested allergic to sesame but appears to tolerate even expeller pressed sesame oil alright so we’re going to try these!
and Readers’ Favorites
Mint Chocolate Brownie Bites from Tasty Yummies
I would, of course, use my Homemade Chocolate Chips and I’d probably sub sweet potato for the banana and add a tad of stevia
since we’re not eating many bananas these days. These look wonderful! I love chocolate and mint!
Whole Grain Hummus Pizza (GF & Vegan) by Tasty Yummies – again!
This looks wonderful!! I would use my Super Savory Hummus and my Easiest Sun Dried Tomatoes!
GF Date-Sweetened Banana Bread from The Veggie Nook.
Probably couldn’t make this with all the bananas…Sigh.
I can’t wait to see what you all have this week!
Hi Adrienne,
I hope those Chinese Green Beans hit the spot with your son! Thanks for featuring my recipe!

They look great!!
Hi Adrienne, thank you for talking about my cream cheese. For those who are allergic to nuts… you can make this with no nuts at all. Just increase the agar agar by about 1/2 a teaspoon and the “cheese” will set just fine. I like the nuts for adding body, texture, and taste, but I have made it without them. (You could add a tablespoon of nutritional yeast to balance out the flavor too.)
Thanks, Dawn – great tips!!! One could also use seeds as well. What a help – can’t wait to try it!
This week I am sharing my Linky Links for the month of June (I had a busy month!) and my 4th of July Menu. Enjoy!

Hi, I am a house husband (I’m not kidding.. lol) and I stumbled upon the “Whole Grain Hummus Pizza (GF & Vegan.” My kids are pizza-lovers just like their dad. Thanks for sharing the love and keep it up!
Love that Chinese green beans, I have again another new meal on our next dinner!
