Corn-free, dairy-free gingerbread

Contains: wheat, eggs

Ingredients:

3 1/4 cups sifted organic, unrefined, unenriched, white flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda*
3/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup dark-brown sugar (read ingredients to ensure no caramel color is added to sugar), packed
1 Tbsp ground ginger*
1 Tbsp ground cinnamon*
1/2 teaspoons ground cloves*
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg*
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup unsulfured molasses
raisins optional
wax paper

*Read ingredients on all spices to make sure nothing is added.

1 In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, and spices. Set aside.

2 With an electric mixer beat oil and sugar. Mix in eggs and molasses. Gradually add the flour mixture; combine on low speed. (You may need to work it with your hands to incorporate the last bit of flour.) Divide dough in thirds; wrap each third in plastic. Chill for at least 1 hour or overnight. Before rolling out, let sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes. If after refrigerating the dough feels too soft to roll-out, work in a little more flour.

3 Heat oven to 350°. Place a dough third on a large piece of lightly floured parchment paper or wax paper. Using a rolling pin, roll dough 1/8 inch thick. Refrigerate again for 5-10 minutes to make it easier to cut out the cookies. Use either a cookie cutter or place a stencil over the dough and use a knife to cut into desired shapes. Press raisins for "buttons".

4 Transfer to ungreased baking sheets. Bake until crisp but not darkened, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven. Let sit a few minutes and then use a metal spatula to transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Decorate as desired.

Corn-free, wheat-free, dairy-free oatmeal cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup canola oil
  • 1 cup no-corn added white sugar (organic or otherwise - read the label)
  • 1 cup packed brown sugar (no caramel color added)
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 cups unenriched, unrefined white flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 3 cups oats
  • raisins if desired

Directions

  1. In a medium bowl, cream together oil, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats and raisins. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets with canola oil. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a large fork dipped in sugar.
  3. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Corn-free Powdered Sugar

1 cup unbleached cane sugar
1 tbsp. cream of tartar or potato starch or tapioca starch or arrowroot

Blend ingredients in blender until a fine powder forms.

Use only sugar that doesn't contain corn. C&H pure sugar cane or any organic pure sugar cane will do.

Cream of tartar will taste tart, so only use it for things you would like to be tangy.

This recipe came from this cook.

Fried chicken

Contains: wheat, chicken, soy, egg

Ingredients:

Organic chicken pieces
1 egg for every two pieces of chicken
1/8 cup unsweetened soy milk for every two pieces of chicken
1/2 cup organic unenriched, unbleached white flour for every two pieces of chicken
1/4 tsp. sea salt for every two pieces of chicken
1/2 tsp. garlic powder for every two pieces of chicken
A pinch of any/all the following spices: thyme, sage, marjoram, rosemary, pepper, nutmeg
Canola oil or safflower oil

In a shallow dish mix eggs and soy milk with a whisk. In another shallow dish mix flour and spices.

Set up a dredging line: chicken, egg mixture, flour mixture. Coat each piece of chicken with egg and then liberally dredge through flour. Place coated chicken on plate and allow to sit before frying to ensure coating remains.

In a pan heat enough oil to cover 1/2 of the chicken (about an inch) to medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium or medium low. Carefully lay the chicken in the oil, be careful not to overlap chicken. Cover, cook each side until the breading is golden brown (about 10 minutes per side). Uncover and brown each side (about 5 minutes more). Let cool a bit before serving.

This is good paired with the dairy free mashed potatoes.

Boiled Halibut

Contains: fish

Boil one quart water with one teaspoon sea salt and one teaspoon sugar in pot. Cut halibut into bite sized chunks and drop into boiling water. Boil uncovered until halibut chunks float to top of water.

This is the easiest way to prepare halibut. You can also save the leftovers to fry in a pan with some canola oil and garlic to use for fish tacos another night (pair with the corn free tortillas).

Corn free tortillas

Contains: wheat

Ingredients:

3 cups organic, unenriched, unbleached flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. sea salt
4-6 Tbsp. canola oil
about 1 1/4 cups warm water

Mix dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add canola oil. Next add warm water a little at a time until your dough is soft and not sticky. You do not need very hot water.

Knead the dough for a few minutes.

Now you will pull off pieces of dough to form small dough balls.
Let them rest for at least 10 minutes, longer if you like.

Heat up pan to medium/high heat.


Dust each ball with flour and roll out thin
. Lay your tortilla on the hot pan. It takes just a few seconds to cook. Flip to the other side. When they are done it should have lots of nice brown speckles. Place them in a towel.

Dairy free mashed potatoes

Contains: soy

These potatoes go great with the meatloaf recipe.

Cut and peel (if desired) 3-5 lbs of potatoes. Quarter potatoes and boil in water with a dash of sea salt until the potatoes are mailable to a fork. Drain potatoes and place in mixing bowl. Add 1 cup unsweetened soy milk, 2 tbsp. canola oil, 1 tbsp. sea salt, 1 tsp. garlic. Blend until creamy with an electric mixer.

Summer rolls

Contains: chicken, soy, shellfish

Ingredients:

Boiled and sliced organic chicken breast sprinkled with sesame seeds, cooled
Cooked shrimp, cooled
Diced raw zucchini and carrots
Shredded red leaf lettuce, cabbage or green leaf lettuce
Diced cilantro
Cooked rice sticks, cooled
Tapioca flour or rice flour spring roll skins

Fill a large bowl with water. Submerge the spring roll skins into the water long enough for the skin to become pliable. Place skin on plate, add a piece of chicken, two piece of shrimp, veggies and noodles in a pile towards one end of the skin. Roll the skin like a burrito around the filling. (Pull the side across the filling, fold the sides inward and then finish rolling the rest of the skin) Serve right away.

This is a good recipe to let the kids help with. I put everything out on the dinner table and everyone makes their own rolls.

Banana Bread

Contains: wheat, eggs

Ingredients:

1/3 cup oil
1 cup sugar
2 large eggs
3 medium or large overripe bananas, slightly mashed
1 1/4 cups Organic unbleached, unenriched, white flour
1 teaspoon Hain Featherweight Baking Powder (the only corn free baking powder)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease (with canola oil) and flour a 9x5 inch loaf pan. In a medium bowl, combine the oil, sugar and eggs. Beat hard with a whisk until light and creamy; about 2 minutes. Add the bananas and beat until well combined.

In medium bowl, combine flour and baking soda. Add to wet mixture and stir to combine. Beat well to make batter evenly combined and creamy.

Spoon batter in loaf pan. Bake for about 50 minutes in the center of the oven. When done an inserted toothpick will come out clean, the sides of the loaf will come away easily from the pan and the top will be firm to the touch. Transfer loaf to a cooling rack. Refrigerate left overs.

Vitamins

It seems no matter how hard you try to find foods to fill in nutritional gaps for your allergic kids, they end up missing some important vitamin or mineral or in our case, entire food groups. Below is a list of vitamins and supplements I've found that are nearly completely allergen free:

Twinlab Infant Care Multi-Vitamin Drops with DHA
There are a few multi-vitamins you can find at the natural food store, but I know that this one works. I've used it through infanthood and toddlerhood. Childlife and Dr. Greene also have multi-vitamins that claim to be allergen free.

BioGaia Probiotic Straws
These straws have probiotic suspended in a tiny drop of rapeseed (canola) oil. You simply put the straw into your child's drink. These are great for those allergic to milk products and are unable to eat yogurt for probiotics.

Childlife Liquid Calcium with Magnesium
I was cautious about these as they have citric acid and fructose in the ingredient list, both of which are typically corn derived in the U.S. However their packaging indicates that they use no corn in their products and we have had no reactions.

Carlson Vitamin Ddrops
According to my daughter's allergist recent research suggests that food allergies and low Vitamin D levels are correlated.

Maine Coast Sea Vegatables
I use dried laver with nori to get trace minerals. Also some seaweeds are richer in iron than beef. My kids eat it right out of the bag, but it is definately an aquired taste. You can try crunching it up and sprinkling it on food if needed.

Welcome again

Somehow my original site was taken down, so my apologies for the lost recipes. I will try to recreate them.

For those of you new to this blog, my purpose is to share recipes and ideas to increase nutrition and options for allergic folks. If you have recipes please feel free to contact me to contribute. I'll need the allergens excluded from your recipe and your name so I can credit you for your recipe.
