Back to School with Nut Allergies....

School is right around the corner, so as always my biggest concern is my 3 kids' nut allergies. At Meet the Teacher we always explain to all teachers about their allergies and how to keep them safe.  

Here is a letter I also send to all my kids' teachers about nut free foods.  I always pack my kids' lunches myself and send safe snacks with them, but it's helpful for the teachers to have something on hand to refer to through the year... You can find nut free lists online.  I made mine from a list I found and mainly included snacks my kids like. So these are definitely not the only nut free snacks available :) You just have to check labels  :)

(This list is NOT gluten free, only nut free :) )
Hi,

Since ___________ is allergic to all nuts, I thought it might be helpful if you had a list 
of some snacks that are safe for them if you need snacks for class, etc. Since ingredients 
can change, we always double check labels too. He cannot have anything that contains 
nuts or products that have any mention of nuts 
("manufactured in a plant with nuts", "may contain nuts", etc.) We also do not let him 
eat baked items brought in from students or from bakeries.  If you ever have any 
questions please let me know :) 

Thanks for all your help!

Breakfast Casserole (Gluten Free Nut Free)

I love breakfast casserole. It is my favorite breakfast dish ever. But every time I tried to make it myself, I never could get it quite right. That was until my cousin shared her breakfast casserole recipe with me. It's delicious! Here's the recipe GF! 4 slices of Udi's GF white sandwich bread   1 lb GF bulk sausage, browned and broken up  (I use Ingles Markets Gluten Free Italian Bulk Sausage) 1 cup shredded cheese 6 eggs 2 cups milk Tear bread into pieces and place in bottom of baking dish. Sprinkle cooked sausage over bread. Sprinkle grated cheese over sausage. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Pour over bread, sausage, and cheese. Refrigerate. You could refrigerate overnight and cook for breakfast. I have also put this together in the morning, refrigerated it all day and cooked it for supper.  Cook for 1 hr @350. (I usually cook it about 5 minutes longer, just keep an eye on it till it's done) Enjoy!
