Summer Recipes- Food Allergy Sensitive

There are many different food allergies that cause many people difficulties when they eat out or when they want to gather with friends and family. Many time people who have food allergies have to choose not to eat dessert. They may choose to bring their own dessert even.

One of the most hospitable things you can do when you are hosting someone is check on food likes, dislikes, pay special attention to allergies and then accommodate those needs as much as you can. When you take the little extra step to make sure everyone has something to enjoy it is noticed. You may choose to go the step farther and try and make a meal or dessert that everyone can eat in which case no one will feel left out or isolated.

We want to extend this same kind of hospitality in our Summer Recipes series. Many of our other blog posts have recipes that those with allergies may be able to use and we are gathering specific recipes here for those with allergies. We will feature on gluten free, nut free, dairy free, and egg free in this post of summer recipes. Be sure to check out our recipes featuring ice cream, berries, lemon & lime, other fruits, & chocolate to see if you can find recipes that can be enjoyed by your guests and you! 

These recipes were taken from the Christ Our Savior cookbook, Let These Gifts to us be Blessed, published in 2010 through Morris Press Cookbooks for the Women of the Word group.
