Party Food Ideas For Dairy Free, Soya Free, Egg Free, Nut Free And Others.

Hi again! Today I am going to tell you about ideas for party food because it's nice to be able to eat  the same things your friends eat at your own party. Here are some ideas.

1. Oaty biscuits - we used Asda Oatie Crumbles. (Allergy advice contains oats and wheat) You could try our Mocha Cookies too, using gluten free flour and oats if needed to make them allergen free. http://allergyprincesses.goblinshark.co.uk/2016/05/mocha-cookies-by-princess-e.html
2. Foam bananas, no allergens listed. These came from Asda in little yellow bags. 5 for £1. :-)
3. Cherry Jellies. These sweets are from Asda too. No allergens listed.
4. Blueberries - even Princess M can have a small amount of these!
5. Apple slices - especially for Princess M.
6. Buckwheat and Apple cookies - recipe coming soon. These were made especially for Princess M, because she can only eat a few ingredients still. :-(
7. Cupcakes - see my easy vanilla recipe http://allergyprincesses.goblinshark.co.uk/2016/07/easiest-ever-vanilla-vegan-cupcakes.html (contains wheat).
8. Jelly - you can make your own, or buy some. We bought Hartley mini jelly pots - no allergens listed.
9. Houmous - contains sesame. Lots of different flavours in the shops, if you want to try something different.
10. Crisps - Ideas for crisps include:- Asda Potato Loops - no allergens listed, Asda Mini Poppadoms - no allergens listed, Kettle Chips -  some flavours contain barley, Asda Onion Rings - contain durum wheat, Asda Bacon Bites- contain wheat, Pringles - many are vegan, but they do contain wheat, Popchips - salted ones are allergen free. Tesco Bunny Bites - Ready Salted - no allergens listed.
11. Cucumber sticks
12. Sliced peppers
13. Carrot sticks
14. Bourbon biscuits - most contain milk, but Tesco do some that don't have milk in them. Yummy! (Contains wheat)
15. Wraps or sandwiches - use suitable bread for your needs. If you need wheat free, as well as other allergen free you can try BFree wraps and bread. Fill with jam, meat-if you eat it, nut free butter, houmous salad, banana and choc shot, violife dairy free cheese, marmite, or whatever else you like!

Easy Peasy Allergy-Friendly Couscous Salad.

Today I am going to show you how to make couscous salad that is free from all major allergens, if you use maize couscous instead of durum wheat couscous.

You need:

• A packet of plain dry couscous (you can use ordinary couscous, or gluten/wheat free).
• Light coloured stock to suit your allergies - we use a vegetable celery-free version that you can buy in the health-food shop.
• Dairy-free Vitalite (or your butter alternative)
• Tomatoes - we like cherry or plum types.
• Olives
• Cucumber
• Spring onions
• Pine nuts if you want to add some crunchiness. (Pine nuts are actually seeds, not nuts.Most nut-allergic people can eat them safely, but please check with your allergy doctor).

Now I will tell you how to make it.

1. First add equal amounts of couscous and freshly made hot stock into a cup or a jug. You can use a measuring cup for this on a ratio of one cup of each, or more. 
2. Now add a generous spoonful of you dairy free butter alternative to your mixture and use a fork to mix it up and make it fluffy.
3. Next halve your cherry tomatoes to add to the salad.
4. For the cucumber slice into whole circles, then cut into quarter segments.
5. After this, cut your spring onions into small slices and add to the mixture.
6. Halve your olives to add in to the salad.
7. Toast the pine nuts by adding a little of your butter alternative to a pan, and stir them over a medium heat for a couple of minutes. Get your Mum or Dad to do this if you need to, as it is hot!
8. Sprinkle toasted pine nuts on top.
9. Finally stir well  and serve .

Hope you enjoy this couscous salad!
