    Hi Nina, Welcome to KFA. . Glad to have you. I can certainly understand why you're concerned about college. We'll be there in a few years with our oldest. I would suggest that you start a new topic in our gi disorders forum -https://community.kidswithfoodallergies.org/forum/gastrointestinal-disorders. We have awesome members on our community and they should be able to give you some tips.

    Jen, thank you so very much for the link *hugs* My daughter and I will check out the link (she plans to set up a profile soon; bombarded with her st the moment) and then we will read the thread you so kindly shared, and make a post to see what experiences others have had. Grateful to you!

    This sounds easy to prepare & delish based on everyone's comments below! Just wondering if this might also work to make "cream of leek" soup? Thanks to my sulfite allergy I haven't been able to find a safe version & it's a soup my Great Aunt used to serve when I was small (~ 7y/o) so of course never thought to get her recipe back then...

    @allergic rver , yes, it will work for other "cream of" soup options as well. You may need to adjust the liquid a bit as your leeks may not release as much liquid as mushrooms do, so just add a bit more if needed. Definitely let us know how it turns out and post pics!

    Hi MRios, Since cocoa butter comes in irregularly-sized solid chunks, weighing is the best way to get the right amount. The recipe will forgive you for slight variations in weight (say, if your kitchen scale isn't super precise) but I'm afraid I don't have a volume measurement for the cocoa butter--and that could change depending on how finely you chop it. If you don't have a kitchen scale, maybe you could borrow one? (And just use a bowl or waxed paper to prevent possible CC from the scale?

    Thank you so much! That helps a lot, I'll see if I can find one at Walmart or Michael's so I can get a candy thermometer, too. My niece has dairy, egg, nut allergies so I'm really excited to make her some goodies for Christmas this year! Thanks again!

    I'm late coming back to the party here, but that's so awesome of you to make special chocolates for your niece! I hope they turn out great!

    @MRios26 , did you ever find a candy thermometer? Don't forget to check it first by bringing water to boil and seeing what temperature it registers at boiling. You can figure out how much it's off by adding or subtracting that figure from 212 - water's boiling point.

    @MRios26 One caveat to @K8sMom2002 's comment about the temperature water boils--this temp depends on elevation. I bake in the Mile High City, water boils a whole 10 degrees cooler up here due to less atmospheric pressure above me. If you aren't near the coasts and want to check your thermometer, google the water boiling point at your elevation first before assuming your thermometer is wrong.

    Ever since the white kosher for Passover chips I used to buy were labeled for shared lines I have been bummed about missing white chocolate for my daughter. This is a great and timely and well done post with step by step instructions and explanations and pictures! Thanks so much. It could have come from my other favorite site "cooking for engineers". And I mean that as a compliment!

    Thank you @Gloria ! I'm the daughter of an Engineer and I'm likely raising an Engineer, so I get what you're talking about. I definitely have an experimental mind I hope you enjoy and yes, we'd love to see your creations!

    Hi Kathryn, Hope you are well. Thank you for publishing this vegan Pineapple cake recipe. It sure looks good. I need to attempt to make a gluten free version and will do so shortly but have one query. I noticed that there is no butter/margarine/oil in your recipe and wondered if this was being replaced by one of the other ingredients. Would welcome your confirmation so that I can proceed with making a gluten free version. Thnks. Have a lovely day. Cheers mork.

    Hi, Mork ... I'm not Kathryn, but I did want to share that many, many times, applesauce is used as a substitute for oil or butter in low fat muffins and quick breads. I know this because my daughter is allergic to apples and we have to be careful of any sort of low-fat muffin or quick bread. I'm also hoping that our resident GF baking guru Kathy P will see this and drop in with her suggestions. Do let us know how the cake turns out! You can either update us here, or you can post a new topic...

    Mork - do you have a gf flour mix in mind for this? This is a very "wet" recipe with the applesauce and pineapple with juice. You may need to increase the amount of flour to compensate for that. I've found that to be the case when converting recipes that are low fat and have a lot of liquid.

    Hi Kathy, Noted will use 140 gram GF flour blend for each cup of gluten flour, thank you for this advice. We do have our homemade GF mix blend but will not be using that this time as one of the ingredients, the new packet of potato starch, is suspect as there was some reaction earlier & needs to be retested. For this recipe will be using a store bought GF blend. Cheers. Have a joyful day.

    The Just Mayo label warns “May contain soy.” In my experience, this means that there is soy hidden in there somewhere. As in the Helman’s Canola Mayo which actually does have soy in it which is included under “natural flavors” on the label, it may be hidden under the “fruit and vegetable juice” in the label. So the search for Soy Free Mayo continues. Soy is in everything. When I was a child, no one ever heard of soy except in sauce or tofu in a Chinese restaurant. It is in everything for 2...

    Hi, Carla, and hugs on the frustration. Way to go on carefully reading the label! You may be on mobile and can't see the original date of this blog -- but it was in 2015. Just Mayo reformulated later on to add soy. I believe there is a soy-free mayo by Vegenaise . I'm not sure of the facility info, but no soy ingredients are listed in the soy-free variety. Look for the light green lid. I'm not sure of the rest of your allergy "avoids," so it may or may not be safe for your family. As always,...

    I just finished making this. The recipe does not say how quickly (or not) to add the cubes of oil, so I had to research a traditional recipe to verify that it's added slowly. I used butter since that's what I have on hand. The first few cubes looked good, then it started looking separated and curdled. It wasn't until the very end that it all finally came together. I don't know that I've ever tasted traditional swiss buttercream, but this tastes like light fluffy sweet butter. Great recipe - ...

    I've had traditional egg white/butter Swiss meringue buttercream curdle like that and it's really stressful! I've had it curdle/separate bc it was too cold (whip longer til it comes together) and bc it was too warm (ice water soaked towels wrapped around my mixer bowl). Good to know that aquafaba will come back together if it curdles.

    If you are corn-free then you should NOT eat xanthan Gum. Out of all the patients I know with reactions or allergies to corn they all react to xanthan. A better choice for the corn-allergy population is guar gum. Also, for the very sensitive all of the ingredients needed to have been sourced carefully to avoid corn cross contamination during harvest and processing. When I saw this product on the shelf I was very disappointed to see xanthan. I know a few companies who claim their xanthan is...

    Thanks for sharing that. I've found it to be very individualized on corn issue. Neither of my kids ever had issues w/ xanthan. It's important to know how to I know sometimes xanthan cause issues not related to corn for people. Not all xanthan is cultured on corn. I know Bob's Red Mill brand is on wheat. Some have issues w/ guar gum as well since it's a legume and can cause GI issues in some.
  • Blog Post Comment
    There are definitely different sensitivity levels to corn products. I know we cannot use Bob's of any type because when we contacted them they even said there is a risk of cross contamination to corn because of their procedures. Guar gum definitely is an issue for some with legume but isnt derived from corn. There does seem to be a part of the population that both reacts to wheat and corn, but I know on the various corn allergy support groups it is strong recommended to avoid all xanthan gum...

    do the just mayo packets require refrigeration? If not, this could be a very handy thing to be able to carry. I can see many uses. - tuna salad on the go -honey mustard dipping sauce. - packets of honey and mustard needed too. -just having mayo on a sandwich... yum!
