Welcome to October! Once again it's time for the "Nut-Free Recipe of the Month."
This month's recipe is courtesy of Heather at http://www.spewdfree.com/, a site that offers peanut-free, egg-free, dairy-free and wheat-free recipes. The following chocolate chip cookie recipe does not contain wheat, eggs, nuts or dairy, so it will be useful to have on hand if you have kids (or know kids) with multiple food allergies.
Thanks, Heather! You can also find a link to her site on this blog under the heading "Nut-Free Food."
