19 Shabbat Recipes for Families With All the Allergies

We are a lucky family to live in 2019 sans major food allergies. Okay, I am allergic to cashews and pistachios, but hey, those are like the most expensive nuts anyways.

But there are so many families who have truly trying allergies and food sensitives to navigate: gluten, wheat, peanuts, tree nuts, eggs, and/or dairy.

We want to make dinner, and especially Shabbat dinner, just a smidge easier for you folks dealing with this. So this round-up is for you. Don’t forget to post your favorite recipes too!

CHALLAH

Can we ask?

It's important to us to keep the warm, joyfully Jewish community on Kveller accessible for all. Reader donations help us do just that. Can you spare a few to keep Kveller free? (We'll love you forever.)
