I'm with you Julie, I usually make black eyed peas and have a bowl of
them. Other than that, with your food allergies, I don't have too many
suggestions. Happy New Year, and hopefully things go better for you,
your hubby, and Angela in the coming year.

Not sure what your allergies cover but one thing we're planning to serve for
snacks is softened cream cheese with chopped green olives w/pimentos and
chopped jalapenos to what ever degree of heat we can handle. Celery stix
along with Jackie Patti's sesame cracker recipe posted here recently.
Sound like they might go well with this easy spread.

Best,

Here's the quote from Jackie's post:
Sesame Crackers

"As holiday parties are coming up, these are good to take along so you
have something to eat all the dips with.

Mix together 1 cup almond meal, 1 egg white, 2 TB sesame seeds, 1/4 tsp
lite salt, 1/4 tsp garlic powder and 1/4 tsp onion powder.

Put bits of dough about the size of marbles on a foil-lined cookie
sheet. Cover with a piece of plastic wrap and flatten with the bottom
of a glass until very thin. Bake at 300 for about 15 minutes.

It took me 3 batches to get them all cooked; this recipe made 32 crackers.

For 1/4 of the recipe, these have 7 g total carb (4 is fiber), 8 g
protein and 191 calories."

How about some guacamole and veggies? Traditional Mexican guacamole is
just avocado, tomato and sweet onion with a little lime to keep it from
turning.

We grill and BBQ year-round. The only time I fire up the oven is when
I want to warm up the house. Wink

I like to make my own, but I pass some on to a couple of

What are you serving this year? I am at a loss for what to make. I have my
can of black eyed peas that I am going to eat all by myself (probably not
the whole can) because nobody else in the house likes them. I love them but
generally only eat them once a year on New Year's day.

We're in a food slump here. And the stuff I would normally serve like cubes
of cheese and deviled eggs can't be served because of our food allergies. I
thought about hummus, but Angela has been eating that for lunch and I doubt
I could get her to eat it again at least in the near future.

Is there anything you typically serve in your house for New Year's day?

I guess it is warm there so you could BBQ. Would be rather nippy here to do
that. Angela has finally said she would like hot dogs. This after my
listing off food after food that she could eat. I don't eat hot dogs but
she and husband will. Don't know if I can find her any buns though. I
think the store here sells GF hamburger buns but not hot dog. Or it might
be the other way around.

The GF bread doesn't wrap though. She might just have to eat them plain.

Can't have dairy. And I don't remember the sesame cracker but I have a
feeling it contains soy which we also can't have.

It's just cabbage. Put it in a collander and rinse it out -- takes
away the "smell" and the taste is very mild.

Really? I don't own a BBQ. I don't personally feel that BBQ'd food is good
for you and daughter has an issue with gluten which is in some of the
charcoal briquettes. Once or maybe twice a year I make hamburger patties
and about as often I make hot dogs. I just do them in a skillet.

I can't bring myself to eat a hot dog. Never liked the things. Tried to
talk daughter into some uncured all beef dogs that were $5.99 for 5 of them.
Instead, she grabbed the el cheapo Western Family 8 pack for $1.79. There
was nothing she was allergic to so I let her have them. Was rather
surprised to see how many different brands had soy in them, including
Nathan's and Hebrew National. I would have thought they would be all meat.

I've gotten some better with hamburgers. Wouldn't eat them as a kid. We
got a lot of hamburger patties at home, formed by hand and eaten with salad
and vegetables. No bun. Got kind of burned out on them. Never liked the
fast food kind, and I've found that for some reason, the frozen patties you
get at the store, even the organic grass fed ones have a strange taste to
them. But due to my food allergies, a hamburger patty is something I can
almost always eat in a restaurant. Daughter can't always because some are
processed with soybean oil. Not sure why. At any rate, I found that a
burger patty with lettuce, tomato and onion on it isn't so bad.

I really haven't tried too much else in the way of BBQ'd food. I remember
making a campfire stew with ground beef, potatoes and maybe carrots cut up.
It was packaged in foil. And some foil packets of potato slices with butter
in between. Those were okay, but I also discovered that I could do them
easily in the oven. One thing I really object to with a BBQ is the smoke
they put off. A couple of years ago one summer, so many BBQs were going at
once here, I had to drive out of the area to escape the smoke. I also don't
like the smoky flavor it gives the food. I guess that's just one more thing
I am picky about.

I knew it was something. Almonds and eggs. Allergic. I wouldn't have
thought an almond allergy would be that bad, considering almonds were not
something I ever ate very much of. Once in a while on a car trip I would
buy a can of Blue Diamond ones for a snack. But now it seems that a good
percentage of the recipes I find have almonds in them. I tried doing a raw
vegan diet and almonds are the most popular nut because of some live enzyme
they have when they are sprouted. Grrr... Always something.
