Many years ago, Brianna Rose Monson shared a great fall recipe for “pumpkin surprise” with us. It was a sample from her book, Allergy Free for the Family Cookbook. Brianna’s son has multiple food allergies, but she doesn’t believe in cooking multiple dishes for one meal. Instead, she makes all of their dinners, including this dairy-free stuffed pumpkin, without milk, eggs, nuts, wheat, and fish for her family to enjoy together.
Dairy-Free Stuffed Pumpkin Dinner is an Allergy-Friendly Surprise
This recipe was buried in our news archives, so today, I’m updating it and giving it a new home in our recipe section. Please note that despite the “allergy-free” title, some of Brianna’s recipes use soy and come contain gluten. But fortunately, this dairy-free stuffed pumpkin dinner is friendly for (almost) all!
One final note: Brianna doesn’t believe in making multiple dishes at a single meal, so the recipes in are reportedly tested to be tasty for everyone, food allergies or not. Brianna truly believes that those with food allergies should and can be included in family and social gathering involving food. And I think this little guy is proof of that …
It really is wonderful how many food allergy cookbooks are beginning to pop on the market. When it comes to free-from diets, you can never have enough recipe options, and each book seems to come from a different angle.
Most recently, I was contacted by author Brianna Rose Monson about her new title, It includes over 100 recipes that are free from 7 of the 8 “top allergens,” including milk, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, wheat, fish, and shellfish. In addition, 88 of the recipes are gluten-free … and I am sure you experienced gluten-free folks could work your magic with specialty flour blends to enjoy several of the remaining recipes too.
We will be doing a full review on the book soon, but … you may not want to wait around for us. So, I asked Brianna if we could feature a recipe from her book for our viewers. She promptly responded with this wonderfully seasonal recipe that she promises is delicious and fun for the ENTIRE family during the fall pumpkin season …
