Hop on over to Life as Mom blog for some allergy/diet restriction friendly recipes.

Don’t forget to try these chocolatey cookies too.

I think this was the first time I’ve baked since finding out about Finley’s food allergies back in April.  The clouds, rain and thunder just called for some nice, hot cookies.  I found this yummy looking recipe and thought I’d give it a try.  The kids were way too excited to actually have some bakes sweets in the house for a change.  I think Justin was a little happy too

• 3/4 tsp salt
