With holiday baking around the corner — we are starting early with our celebrations and family visits start the first full week of November — I took full stock of what I had on hand. I had several items I had depleted and several recipes I have to alter to meet allergen free standards. I placed a small order with Vitacost. Sadly the two stores in my town that are the most likely to carry gluten free and nut free items are two of the nicest stores. Of course, that means they both have open seafood counters and I cannot shop in either of them.
The vanilla wafers are for making peppermint sandwich cookies.
The animal crackers are for me to share with my grandson when we have tea.
The bread crumbs are for everyday use.
The graham crackers are for both snacking and cheesecake baking.
I’ve used up the last of my home dried fruit.
It is impossible to find any locally that hasn’t been processed around nuts.
It is mostly for muffins and scones.
I’ve checked every store....sigh.
The pretzels are for a jello dessert.
The ginger snaps are for the pumpkin cheesecake crust.
I’m hoping the crust only takes one bag and I can have the second to hide for myself.
Have you started planning out your holiday baking and other goodies?
I’m hoping by being prepared in advance I can get it all pulled off with minimal effort.
You must have a severe Seaford allergy if you can't even smell it. My granddaughter has one but only eating the food.
