Guess who’s not allergic to corn and peanuts anymore!! I was completely ecstatic when I got the results in the mail! AND, his remaining allergies to milk, wheat, oats, rye and eggs have gone down some too – it was severe and now it’s just bad. Boy, was results day a happy day!! So, to celebrate the great news I’ve attached a recipe card for these allergy-free muffins. I make up his recipes since he’s allergic to so many things. This muffin recipe has been baked and tweaked loads of times and is the best version to date. :)

The recipe is wheat-free, and free of flours that have similar proteins to wheat. Spark isn’t gluten intolerant, but allergic to the wheat protein. But if you are gluten intolerant, this recipe is gluten-free too! It’s also dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, and peanut-free. And I like it because it has a veggie (pumpkin) and fruit (applesauce – which was added recently, when he out grew his apple allergy.) Also, please note that the brand of “butter” spread is not Smart Balance, but Earth Balance.

The PDF has 2 copies of the recipe, just because there was space – maybe you could pass one along to a friend? Print one page, flip the paper and print again, and trim – so the recipe card is printed front and back. (See this post for specific paper used and trimming instructions.)

If you or someone you love has food allergies, I truly hope this recipe helps! :)

Swedish Wafle Day is almost here! This Saturday, March 25th!! Yes, it’s a real reason to make waffles! :) And here is our favorite swedish waffle recipes from our 1947 swedish cookbook (given to me by my great friend, Candy)…

CRISP CREAM WAFFLES
1 1/3 cups flour
1/2 cup water
1 3/4 cups heavy cream
3 tablespoons melted butter
Beat cream stiff. Sift in flour, add cold water and stir until well blended. Then carefully stir in melted butter. Heat waffle iron slowly; brush generously with butter. Pour in a few tablespoons of batter and bake until golden. Place on rack to keep crisp. Serve with coffee or as a dessert with jam and sugar. (We have ours with real maple syrup.)
And for my sweet one with allergies and my gluten and lactose intolerant hub – it’s Van’s gluten-free waffles – yum! Am I so thankful for them (the waffles and my guys)!
Happy Swedish Waffle Day!
Maybe I’m alone, but when I want to remake a yum recipe, it’s a pain to go find it in all my cookbooks and cooking magazines. And sometimes I flip through my cookbooks and find one I completely forgot about. I’ve bookmarked, torn out, and copied recipes elsewhere, but that took loads of time and wasn’t very organized. Does that happen to you?
But then I had an idea for this recipe finder where I can scribble down the recipe name, location, page, and some notes! Now I have a quick reference to find those great recipes my family keeps wondering if I’ll ever make again ;)
The header is blank so you can categorize however you’d like. Maybe a “chocolate” category is better than just “desserts”!

I printed on bright white, smooth, 80# cover (card stock) and used my round corner punch after printing. You can also paperclip your various pages, or punch a hole and use a post screw to keep them all together.

I hope this helps you get those “nummies” (as my youngest calls it) whipped up and on the table!
Let me know how it works out for you, or if you have any suggestions. :)
