Best of Food Allergy Friendly Recipes of 2014

Hello friends!  First off, I hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas!  I’ve been busy playing Star Wars with the kids over the school break.  It’s almost the end of 2014 already and what a great year it has been!  This year has been so challenging and rewarding all at once.  Mr. Naughty had huge food break throughs with Oat and Coconut.  I was lucky to find a safe brand of Pumpkin Seeds, Soy-Free Coconut Amino Sauce and very recently sunflower-free Tortilla chips.  I’m so thankful to have more foods in our lives!

I have truly fallen in love with being able to share all my kitchen creations with you on my blog.  I feel humbled each time I receive an heartfelt email or comment.  I try my best to answer any questions left through the blog and check recent posts for questions but… I have over 200 posts. (Unless you specifically TAG me as +Laura O, I will not receive any notification that you left a comment. ) 

I ran a half marathon…Crazy, right?  Since I’m really not a runner.

I’ve worked hard to improve my photography skills and it has started to show in other areas.  I was lucky to be included twice on Cosmopolitan Magazine Online, several times on the Huffington Post and the BuzzFeed websites.  With greater success and a larger audience, I am able to reach more families looking for allergy specific needs.  I have started writing limited sponsored posts as well. These posts help compensate me for the time and costs to run a blog.  You will continue to see these from time to time but I promise to only introduce you to foods and items that are allergy compliant for us or great for other food allergy families.

And…

The downside greater exposure has been people have starting stealing my images.  Yep.  It’s so wrong and upsetting.  I cannot believe the gall of some folks who knowingly take images and crop out watermarks showing ownership.  If you happened to see one of my images without any link or credit given to me please email me and let me know.  Other top bloggers suffer the same fate… so on the bright side I must be a ‘top blogger’ too, right? 😉

I would love if you follow me as I stumble around on Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and G+.  I honestly spend most of my time between Pinterest and Facebook.  Pinterest used to be easy to navigate and search for recipes with very specific allergy titles.  

So without further ado, here are my top 15 Allergy Recipes for 2014.  Thank you, thank you ALL for reading and following me!

And that’s it! We make a lot of the Dairy Free Mac N Cheese and Best Gluten Free Pizza Crust.  Do you have a favorite recipe that didn’t make the list?  Or is a there one you make often?  I’d love to hear from you!

2015 should be a great year.  I look forward to sharing more allergy friendly recipes with you.  If you have a suggestion or recipe request, please let me know!
