Allergen Friendly ♥ Shopping List and Pantry Basics

I am an avid recipe developer and cook. I am not a medical professional. Some of these sites below also offer items that may not be allergen free - or free of your particular allergens - so consider contacting them and reading their websites and packages with care. ☺ For my own family I have found the following very useful.
Best Wishes-
