As a food allergy mom AND dietitian, I understand the importance of quick, family-friendly recipes and meal planning ideas. When it comes to nutrition, I promote weight-neutral, common-sense approaches to help families find a healthy balance.

Sesame Ginger Salad Bowl
Sesame Ginger Salad Bowl provides a variety of colors, textures, and flavors in just one dish. It is also allergy-friendly and makes for a great “spring-forward” meal idea.
Beef Bone Broth
Homemade Beef Bone Broth is a great way to add flavor to soups, stews, and recipes. Give this a try if you have beef soup bones in your freezer or if you have concerns about food allergy labeling or cross-contact with allergens outside the top nine!
No Bake Granola Bars
No Bake Granola Bars are free from the top nine food allergens and a homemade alternative to costly allergy-friendly packaged granola bars. These make a great nut-free option for school lunch or snacks!
Freezer-Friendly Pumpkin Muffins
Freezer-Friendly Pumpkin Muffins are an egg-free way to enjoy pumpkin all year long. My family likes to add chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture. This recipe makes a double batch, which is great for large families or those who want to freeze extra for later!
Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Curry
Slow Cooker Butternut Squash Curry is hearty, savory, and a great use of fall harvest vegetables. It gets bonus points for being vegan and free from the top nine food allergens!
Pasta with Garlic and Broccoli
Pasta with Garlic and Broccoli can be served vegetarian-style or with a side of chicken or meat. with or without a side of meat. For a quick 20-minute meal, enjoy with a side of fruit and your favorite milk option!
