Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Fresh Strawberry Bread
I love strawberries. While at the grocery store, I saw them for $1.00 a quart so I grabbed 5 of them. I like to keep different sliced breads and muffins in the freezer for the girls to warm for breakfast or a snack. With all of these ripe perfect strawberries, I decided to try something new and make Strawberry Bread. The bread was perfectly moist and stayed that way even after being rewarmed in the microwave. This bread is now tied for my favorite with the Zucchini Bread.
Fresh Strawberry Bread
2 cups strawberries, measured then finely chopped
2 cups strawberries, measured then pureed
1 1/4 cups unsweetened applesauce
2 tsp vanilla extract
3 1/8 cups flour
1 cup sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
Combine the chopped strawberries, pureed strawberries, applesauce and vanilla. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, sugar, baking soda and salt. Add the flour mixture to the strawberry mixture then mix until just combined. Divide the batter evenly between 2 sprayed 9x5 loaf pans. Bake at 350 for 40-50 minutes or until the top of the bread is golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs attached.

Egg Free, Dairy Free Simple Tuna Noodle Casserole
My husband wasn't eating dinner with us tonight, so I decided to make the girls a meal that I loved as a kid. My husband doesn't like tuna or tomatoes, so this is a perfect dinner for when he is not home. The girls couldn't get enough and we have now made it several times for lunches. Is it a bad thing when your husband is pickier than your kids?
Simple Tuna Noodle Casserole
1 box elbow macaroni, cooked
2 cans (5 oz each) tuna, drained
1 can peas
1 can diced tomatoes
1 can turkey gravy
1 cup safe bread crumbs or crushed safe potato chips
Combine the macaroni, tuna, peas, tomatoes and gravy. Transfer the mixture to a sprayed 9x13 baking dish. Top with the bread crumbs. Bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until hot and bubbly.

Egg Free, Dairy Free, Nut Free Jazlyn's Kit Kats
Kit Kats are one of my favorite candy bars. I want Jazlyn to be able to experience everything, but I've been wondering for a while how I could make a Kit Kat that would be safe for her. Then it dawned on me, she has no idea what one tastes like. She has seen them before, but she obviously has never eaten one. I decided to try and make something that would have the chocolate and wafer layers. This candy doesn't taste like a Kit Kat, but it is so good and looks close to the original.
Jazlyn's Kit Kats
2/3 cup safe chocolate chips
1/4 cup Sunbutter
Approximately 20 Club Crackers
Melt the chocolate chips and Sunbutter until smooth. Line a mini loaf pan with plastic wrap, leaving an overhang on all sides. Place a layer of crackers on the bottom (for my pan it took 4 whole crackers and 2 halves). Top with 1/4 of the chocolate mixture. Repeat the layers 3 more times, ending with the chocolate mixture on top. Refrigerate for 1 hour or until firm. Remove from the pan using the plastic wrap. Cut into squares then store in an airtight container in the fridge.
* You can omit the Sunbutter and use extra chocolate.
