I do a lot of writing on this blog about my son who is 11 years old and suffers tremendously from Allergies and Asthma. So when I was approached by a company who asked if I was interested in trying (and letting him try) some treats that are Organic, peanut free, tree nut free, egg free, and dairy free, I couldn’t have been more excited.
My son IS allergic to Eggs and Peanuts. DO you know how hard it is to find foods without eggs and that are not cooked in a facility where nuts are also in other ingredients ? VERY !!!
So, I was sent some samples to try and also they sent a couple packs made just for my son. He was so happy to get this special attention. (he is a middle child and feel’s left out sometimes, lol) The products are from HOME FREE.
I was very delighted to be contacted from this company to try their products, but at the same time, very ummm… hesitant. I truthfully was worried that they wouldn’t taste good, that cookies without eggs ? would taste like cardboard or something.
WELL… To my shock I was surprised VERY PLEASANTLY surprised!!! These are the BEST Oatmeal, chocolate chip, chocolate chocolate chip cookies I have ever tasted in my life !!! They were soooooooo moist, and soooo good. I raved about them to my husband, my mother, and anyone else who came by for over a week! They were just soooo good. They sent me a few boxes of these cookies and Let me assure you, all the cookies were GONE in about a week, or less.
I let ALL 4 of my children try them, and they ALL loved them. My child with the allergies loved them and so did my mom and my husband.
Here are some facts about these cookies :
- Whole Grain
- peanut free
- tree nut free
- egg free
- dairy free
- no trans fat
- no cholesterol
- all natural, organic ingredients
The Big cookies are individually wrapped for easy snacks to take along with you. The boxes are 6.3 oz. boxes and hold 6 delicious cookies.
There are also mini cookies that come in chocolate, chocolate chocolate chip, and oatmeal chocolate chip.
These treats are so delicious! They truly made my allergic child not feel like an outcast. In Fact, these cookies made my son feel very special and important.

[New Post] Home Free – Treats Your Allergy Suffering Kids Can Eat – via @twitoaster http://theplussizemommy.com/plussize-fam…
Hey even I am suffering from asthma and my one of my kids too. I will share this recipe with my wife and I hope it turns out to be good.
Most allergies can be treated by corticosteroids and also some antihistamine blockers.,-;
to treat my allergies, i just take in some antihistamines like claritin”;:
I know how hard it is since a family member is also prone to allergies and asthma. He eats prawns, chicken, eggs, etc etc and gets blotches on his skin. Lactose intolerant is another problem. So our house have been dairy free for quite some time. I definitely crave cookies and baked goods but just don’t want to eat them at home because he would be tempted. Looks like I don’t have to worry about that anymore.
