I hope everyone is staying warm wherever you are...we’re getting lots of rain so I’m dreaming of this cozy pizza scene. We ate a safe meal here last year for my hubby’s bday ❤️
.
With the holidays in full swing, I am trying to remember to say no to things....yes to no 🤪! .
.
This time of year brings an added pressure to be everything to everyone & that’s hard for anyone to keep up. It also means lots of food everywhere, which means extra coordination in keeping things safe & fun for my girl with #foodallergies. .
.
@thenutlessbaker posted today “choose the child, not the food” and I couldn’t agree more. If you have a friend who has #foodallergies it can be easy to forget how challenging the holidays can be for us. So centering a few activities for your friends or even for your own family that are non-food related takes the pressure off. Don’t worry there will be lots of baking but in between it’s nice to get breaks too 🙏❤️
.
.
Off to go get our tree in a bit! Happy weekend everyone ☃️❄️🎄

I can’t keep track of all these freaking holidays 😳🤷🏽‍♀️🤪but I heard it’s #nationalcookieday so luckily I have a sweet tooth & dug this one out of the archives.
.
These chocolate chip almond butter cookies are free from dairy, gluten & flour. A little flaky sea salt on top is 👌🏼Almonds are the one nut my girl can eat so we use it a lot over here...If you can eat almonds, I hope you enjoy these! Recipe link in my bio☝🏼 ❤️

Today is Day 3 of our #allergyfriendly reverse advent calendar & coincidentally #givingtuesday . Each day my friends & I (see tags above) will be sharing in stories & suggesting an allergy-friendly food item that you can donate to your local food bank for the holidays. Swipe left to see all items & schedule. .
.
Food costs tend to be higher for people with #foodallergies & #celiac so this is a nice way to give back & make food accessible for all 👏If you join us, be sure to tag us at #allergyfriendlyholiday & we’ll share your pics in stories. Donate what you can🧡..
.
These persimmons were gifted to me by mom’s friend. Ther’ye the crunchy #fuyu kind -I meant to do something with them like throw them in a pretty salad but instead I just ate them all 😉🧡 .

Join our friends( tagged in this pic) this holiday season to participate in an Allergy-Friendly Reverse Advent Calendar! We start Dec 1 ❄️.
.
Instead of getting a little surprise every day leading up to Christmas, help us by donating an allergy-friendly food item to help food allergy families in need( swipe left). .
.
Food costs are much higher for people w/ food allergies. Items most commonly donated to food banks are typically not allergy-friendly. The most common food bank staples are foods like peanut butter, ramen noodles & spaghetti. .
.
We’ll post a suggested item to donate to a local food bank of your choice. You can use our prompts or think of 1-24 things that would help a food allergy family.. Tag us with your donations & we’ll share too ❤️
.
Pick up items at once or everyday. Chose whichever food bank you wish to donate, make sure to specify they are allergy-friendly & who they are intended for. . Read more about it on Danielle @allergictraveller insta post today & thanks to Danielle for organizing 🎄⛄️

My friend @champagneandcookies and I made @milkandcardamom’s Berry Bapa Doi for our #friendsgiving feast. It’s a delicious baked dessert made w/ sweetened condensed milk, cream & yogurt. It would make an awesome holiday dessert. Recipe is in her new cookbook, #milkandcardamom ❤️
.
Hetal also gives a sub for making it #top8free & #vegan. We kept it seasonal, left out berries & topped it w/ pomegranate arils, @justdatesyrup “Just Pom Syrup” which is 💯 yummy 👌🏼
.
Also, pictured in back are @millielottietotes denim wraps. They would make a thoughtful hostess gift too. #notsponsored just love all these ladies who work hard everyday to create such beautiful things & share them with us all ❤️.
