WIN-It-Wednesday: “Allergy-Friendly Food for Families – 120 Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free, Egg-Free, and Soy-Free Recipes Everyone Will Love” Cookbook
Tuesday, April 3rd, 2012
So many BeFreeForMe members, plus many other folks that I chat with when out on the road, are overcoming the challenge of having multiple food allergies in the same household.
So many families are living with multiple food allergies, celiac disease and other food intolerances and sensitivities. In these cases, mealtimes can be challenging, at best.
That is why my eyes lit up when I enthusiastically started paging through the advance copy of the “Allergy-Friendly Food for Families – 120 Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Nut-Free, Egg-Free, and Soy-Free Recipes Everyone Will Love” Cookbook when it came across my desk several weeks ago.
And since that time, I have been so excited to share this cookbook – which covers not just one or two, but the five most common allergens in kids – with the BeFreeForMe.com members. “Allergy-Friendly Food for Families” is now available on Amazon.com which is now available for pre-order with delivery on April 10, 2012!
I like that this cookbook covers recipes for the three major meals (breakfast, lunch and dinner). It seems that so many cookbooks don’t offer a lot of breakfast recipes, which we all know can be the most challenging when living with food allergies and a gluten-free diet, but this cookbook offers tons of new & innovative family-friendly breakfast ideas (Some of my favorites? Carrot Cake Breakfast Cookies, Blueberry Corncakes, and Quinoa Maple Crunch). There is also a whole chapter of recipes dedicated to Snacks (yes… snacks!) as well as Desserts and… get this…. a whole chapter on Party Ideas!
I found the chapter dedicated to Party Ideas ingenious! This section is full of recipes – such as Carnival Corn Dogs, Soft Pretzels with Honey Mustard Sauce and a Giant Cookie Cake – that are all perfect for anyone hosting (or needing recipes ideas) for a birthday party where kids with allergens are attendees.
This cookbook is from the editors of KIWI, the premier magazine about raising families the natural and organic way. The magazine is published bi-monthly and is full of ideas and ways to support green, healthy choices when it comes to food, family life and fun. Check out their Facebook page and the join them on Twitter too, and get a feel for what KIWI’s all about. I think you’ll all really enjoy the content.
As you can imagine, I was so happy when I found out that this WIN-It-Wednesday on BeFreeforMe.com was to be sponsored by KIWI Magazine and the “Allergy-Friendly Food for Families” Cookbook.
