Simple minimal ingredients and absolutely fabulous!
An all time favorite.
Now bare with me, one of the main ingredients is peanut butter… however I use sunflower butter and these are phenomenal! A little salty sweet treat. You don't have to give up recipes that use peanut butter, just find a substitute that works for your ...
My non dessert eating husband requests this every Thanksgiving and Christmas. I use crushed oreos on the top vs chocolate chips.
We still make these every year even though my daughter outgrew her egg allergy. They are really good and she still requests this recipe be made.
Super easy and fun for the kids.
We use pecans that are peanut free or we use Hershey-ets that only come out at Christmas time. We can't do M & Ms with a peanut allergy.
I started using this recipe when my daughter was a toddler. Back then she was allergic to egg and we substituted each egg with 1 TBS water, 1 TBS of oil and 1 tsp of baking powder. That ratio is for one egg, so I doubled it for this recipe. Mix in a ...

If you are going to make a dessert with frosting or a layer dessert, you need a deep dish baker. I love this Pyrex one.

Yum is all I have to say. Perfect for brunch.
Fun for a Grinch movie night.
So good but very rich. This makes a lot so it's good for a party or house full of family.

Such a fun drink.

A make your own parfait bar is a great idea for busy holiday mornings. Just be careful of the granola, it is hard to find peanut free. I usually make my own or use grape nuts.
An option for nut free granola.
Another nut free granola without coconut.
Soups
We love soup on Christmas Eve. Here are some of our favorites through the years. All peanut free. I could personally eat soup almost every day in the fall and winter.

So good and hearty.
A different variation on potato soup.
I am not a fan of traditional beef stew, however I can get behind this recipe.

Good with some crusty bread.
I'm a big fan of Beef Stroganoff. Put it in a soup and I'm sold.
I love a good home made tomato soup. This is the perfect snow day soup with grilled cheese.

Very good. As far as I am concerned anything can be made into soup.
Side dishes
What is a holiday without delicious side dishes. I like to try a new one every year.
Healthy and delicious
We love peas at our house.
I have no words other than YUM.

This screams Thanksgiving side to me.
Another side dish we make at Thanksgiving.
So good.

Do not go generic for green bean casserole.
Main Dish
I always say butter is key to a great turkey.
I honestly love a turkey breast made in the crockpot. So juicy and easy. Also great for those that don't like dark meat.
Not a turkey person, try some ham.
Another ham recipe idea.
Love this slow cooker for ham or turkey breast.
Another option if you are over Turkey.
We have even made lasagna for Christmas dinner.
Love a good prime rib.
