Introduction

This section reminds you that you’re not alone by offering background information on the incidence of food sensitivities, the different types of sensitivities, and basic tips on living without the food allergens of gluten, dairy, and eggs––as well as white sugar.

Recipes

Breads

Enjoy your favorite breads, including yeast breads and quick breads, such as French bread, bread sticks, and Corn Bread. You don’t need wheat, milk, or eggs to whip up some of the best breads you’ve ever tasted. 

Breakfast and Brunch

You don’t need wheat, dairy, or egg to make a great breakfast. Make chewy bagels, crispy waffles, or hearty muffins….and more. There are even ideas for brunch menus and ways to get the kids to eat a hearty breakfast such as a Breakfast Pizza that they can eat as they’re running out the door to catch the school bus.

Appetizers, Snacks, and Beverages

You can choose from a wide variety of dishes for that special party or just everyday meals. How about crab cakes, dips, mini-sandwiches….and more. You don’t have to ever feel that you can’t entertain your friends or enjoy the same kind of snacks as everyone else. 

 Salads

Hidden allergens lurk in commercial salad dressings, but you can make your own Ranch Dressing and many others. There are also ideas for healthy, delicious salads to add some “crunch” to your diet.

Ingredients and Condiments

When you avoid gluten, dairy, and eggs (plus sugar) it rules out many commercial ingredients. Yet, you can make your own mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, baking powder, and nut milk … plus many other ingredients that we don’t realize contain hidden allergens. 

Main Dishes

This book contains a literal smorgasbord of fantastic main dishes such as Chicken Cacciatore, Pizza, oriental dishes….and more. Entrees are organized around types of meat such as beef, pork, chicken, and fish. Plus, menus help you plan the entire meal with other dishes that are also allergen-free.

Desserts

You don’t have to give up anything! Enjoy cake, brownies, cookies, ice cream …and more. If you’re a chocoholic, don’t worry…Carol is too! So she provided plenty of chocolate recipes. But there are also fruit-based recipes like cobblers, plus puddings, ice creams, and other luscious desserts.
