Allergy safe birthday party

Yesterday was DS 1st birthday and we had almost the entire party allergy friendly and hardly anyone noticed! We had beef & turkey hamburgers and hot dogs, along with a potato salad (using https://www.yummly.com/recipe/Potato-Salad-Recipezaar_15 subbing vinegar for lemon juice), a macaroni salad (using https://www.briannassaladdressing.com/flavors/poppy-seed.html), veggie tray w/ hummus and a fruit platter. The cupcakes were amazing and super moist, we used this recipe: https://www.foodallergy.org/recipes/single/recipe/baseball-cupcakes and no one believed they were vegan!

The only things not safe were the cheese slices and possibly the baked beans, I don't eat them so I didn't check the ingredients.

    thats awesome.  I find birthdays to be stressful since you can't monitor everything like you want to.  I had a lot of allergy friendly stuff for our party, but DH's family insisted on bringing food....which meant there was some not so allergy friendly stuff there.  I had to watch Asher like a hawk and do everything for the party at the same time.  Next year....Allergen Free Party!

    sounds delicious (minus meat -i'm a vegeterain lol) but i know what you mean. we hosted a bbq for our friends this saturday and the son has celiac so i couldn't believe i was able to make everything milk/soy/egg/nut/gluten free.  it was a total success, even with desert. 

    it's so stressful but so much easier when you know everything is safe and you can actually enjoy the party.

    yay!  We only do allergy safe parties at our house now for just that reason.  We did J's birthday party a few months ago and I just had B's baptism party this weekend.  The huge amounts of prep work/cooking for a crowd are totally worth being able to relax at a party and let your kid eat everything they see that day.  :)
